Mow Crew Team Member - Lead Support - 2YR Experience required

A Bit About You

You don’t just mow lawns—you take ownership of your work. You’ve spent time on a professional crew, understand what “done right” looks like, and take pride in the details others might miss. You’re someone your teammates can count on—especially when the crew lead isn’t around.

You lead by example, not by title. You work hard, stay positive, and naturally step in to keep things moving, organized, and on track. You enjoy being outdoors, pushing yourself physically, and constantly improving your craft.

A Bit About Us

What sets us apart? Our people. We’re a team that takes pride in the details, supports one another, and shows up every day ready to grow. If you’re looking for a place where your experience is valued and your leadership can make a difference, you’ll fit right in.
