About Us:
We're building a serious commercial landscaping company serving property managers, HOAs, multifamily communities, retail centers, office parks, banks, churches, schools, industrial properties, and other commercial accounts. Our sales team is hunting new business aggressively. What's been missing is someone who can turn a site into an accurate, defensible estimate, and bring real landscape knowledge into the proposals we send.
The Role:- This is not a cold-calling or prospecting seat. That's covered by our BD team.
- We need someone who can look at a property, a site plan, or a set of specs and understand what it actually takes to landscape and maintain it: scope, plant material, hardscape, labor, timeline, and turn that into a clean, accurate estimate our sales team can put in front of a client fast.
- There's a performance component tied to results, but the job is estimating and design support first. If you've spent real time in the green space, landscaping, grounds maintenance, horticulture, landscape architecture, you already have the instinct this role needs.
- What You'll OwnEstimatingReview site plans, specs, and photos to scope landscaping and maintenance work accurately
- Build cost estimates: materials, plants, labor, equipment, timeline
- Turn quote requests into delivered proposals fast. Speed matters, most requested proposals should go out within 72 hours
- Keep every estimate tracked from request to delivery to follow-up in the CRMDesign Support
- Bring landscape/design judgment to proposals: plant selection, layout logic, what a property actually needs
- Flag when a scope doesn't make sense or is missing something a client will ask about
- Help our cold quote system: proactively estimating strong-fit properties before they ask
- CoordinationWork closely with onsite sales, estimators, and field leadership. You're remote, not disconnected
- Support site visits with prep: property research, past scope, photos, notes
- Make sure nothing sits unowned between "quote requested" and "proposal sent"
