Are you eager to get outdoors, lead a team, and build a rewarding career in the landscape industry?

Brookside Landscapes is seeking a motivated, forward-thinking individual to take the helm of our growing Landcare division. While this maintenance sector is currently a smaller portion of our overall business, it possesses massive potential for expansion.

You’ll hit the ground running with Brookside. You’ll inherit basic operational structures, a loyal client base, and the instant community credibility that comes from our recognized design/build work. With the full technical backing of our in-house ​industry experts, you'll have the support you need to thrive. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, people-focused leader ready to solve problems, optimize our systems, and scale this division ​into a thriving profit center.

Client Relations: Serve as the primary, trusted point of contact, ensuring exceptional service and beautiful landscapes.

Systems Optimization: Refine our foundational frameworks and implement new best practices to scale the division efficiently.

What You Will Do

• Manage day-to-day Landcare sales, prospecting new clients while nurturing existing relationships to secure recurring contracts.

• Take our existing systems to the next level. You will refine routing structures, upgrade standard operating procedures, and implement best practices to make the division scalable.

• Collaborate closely with Brookside's established experts in other departments, utilizing their technical knowledge for support and smoothly transitioning new design/build projects into ongoing maintenance accounts.

• Coordinate daily and weekly schedules and routing, ensuring crews are deployed effectively and jobs are completed to Brookside’s high standards.

• Serve as a hands-on leader for your field staff, providing guidance, solving on-site problems, and ensuring your team has what they need to succeed.

• Look ahead to the future, using your autonomy to strategically guide the direction of the maintenance sector to better serve our clients and produce sustainable profit.
