Lead a commercial landscape maintenance and sidewalk snow removal crew while working alongside team members. This role oversees routine summer grounds services and winter pedestrian-area clearing, with responsibility for crew readiness, safe equipment operation, service quality, and timely communication. Follow each property’s scope of work and seasonal service schedule. Crew leadership and snow responsibilities
Lead each shift: confirm crew attendance, review site maps, route schedules and priorities, assign tasks, and train team members on safe work practices and site requirements. Monitor productivity and complete assigned work within scheduled service windows.
Perform and oversee snow removal from sidewalks, entrances, steps, ramps, crosswalks, and other assigned pedestrian areas using shovels, snow blowers, power brooms, and approved sidewalk equipment.
Apply approved ice-melt products and liquid treatments as directed. Follow site specifications and application rates while protecting surfaces, landscaping, and surrounding property.
Keep designated accessible routes and emergency exits clear. Place snow in approved areas without blocking doors, drains, sightlines, or pedestrian access.
Inspect completed work, correct missed areas, and report refreezing, drifting, or conditions requiring additional service. Coordinate with plow crews and management as conditions change.
Check equipment, fuel, materials, and required protective equipment before deployment. Report defects, remove unsafe equipment from use, and secure tools and materials after each shift.
Record accurate crew hours, arrival and departure times, work completed, material usage, and required photos in the designated reporting system.
Communicate delays, staffing shortages, equipment failures, incidents, injuries, and property damage promptly. Treat customers professionally and refer scope changes to management.
Landscape and summer commercial maintenance responsibilities:
Perform and oversee scheduled mowing, string trimming, edging, and blowing of clippings from sidewalks, curbs, and other hard surfaces. Adjust work to turf conditions and site specifications, and avoid rutting or damaging wet areas.
Maintain landscape beds through hand weeding, bed edging, debris removal, mulch installation and touch-ups. Prune shrubs and maintain ornamental plantings using appropriate methods and assigned service schedules.
Complete spring and fall cleanups, leaf removal, litter pickup, and removal of routine landscape debris from turf, planting beds, parking lot edges, and pedestrian areas. Leave each property neat and ready for customer use.
Assist with approved seasonal planting, flower care, watering, turf repairs, aeration, overseeding, and other landscape enhancements within the crew’s training and assigned scope.
Identify and report irrigation leaks, damaged sprinkler heads, dry areas, drainage concerns, turf stress, and plant health issues. Coordinate repairs or specialized services with management rather than making unauthorized adjustments.
Inspect turf, beds, and hard surfaces before leaving each site; correct missed work and report additional service needs. Protect vehicles, windows, signs, irrigation components, and pedestrians from equipment and flying debris.
Operate commercial mowers, trimmers, edgers, blowers, and other assigned equipment only after training. Complete daily checks, cleaning, and basic maintenance as directed; safely load, unload, and secure equipment for transport.
Coordinate fertilizer, weed-control, and other treatment services with management. Perform applications only when trained, authorized, and appropriately credentialed for the assigned work.
