IMPORTANT: Read Before Applying
This is a physically demanding outdoor role.
You will be working outside in heat, light rain, and changing weather conditions. You will be mowing, trimming, edging, blowing, loading/unloading equipment, and driving between residential properties.
This role is not a good fit if you are looking for an easy summer job.
You must have access to a reliable personal vehicle and be comfortable transporting lawn equipment in your trunk. Equipment often fits in sedans, but you must confirm your vehicle has enough space to safely carry the required equipment.
Most people who do not succeed in this role underestimate the physical demands. We are very upfront about this because we do not want to waste your time or ours.
The people who do best here are reliable, physically capable, independent, coachable, and motivated to earn strong pay through real work.
We are a STUDENT-RUN and STUDENT-OWNED local lawn care company. We're looking for highly competitive students (current or recently graduated) who want their hard work to be recognized and adequately rewarded. As a Lawn Technician, you’ll be responsible for cutting and maintaining residential lawns, with a clear path to increase your earnings through performance and bonuses.
If you like being paid directly for your effort and results, this role is for you.
