In addition, this position must develop the field managers and others below it.

Responsibilities:

  • Communicate to all your supervisors the philosophies, policies, and procedures by which the company operates.

  • Maintain a constant recruiting effort to address personnel needs in the production area company-wide.
  • Oversee all seasonal color rotations.
  • Develop by hand or computer, depending on size, profitable estimates for enhancement work as needed to hit sales objectives.
  • Prepare job packages and billings for all enhancement jobs you sell.
  • Develop a clear understanding of the hourly and cost budgets for each of your jobs. Monitor by reviewing job costs regularly. Communicate job cost information to field managers on a regular basis to control hours and costs.
  • Monitor the quality of our service through regular job site visits. Evaluate site performance by completing one field report/inspection report per quarter for the last three quarters of the year. Address any customer concerns within 24 hours.
  • Oversee all hard material purchases for the branch.
  • Coordinate all deliveries of material to the yard and maintain the enhancement nursery space.
  • Schedule all enhancement crews and maintain properly staffed crews.
  • Conduct formal certification training and informal training sessions on a regular basis.
  • Write purchase orders and approve invoices for all purchases made.
  • Update the enhancement sales sheet for all enhancement sales monthly.
  • Monitor AM and PM routines of your crews.
  • Help to maintain a branch facility that reflects our corporate image and provides a safe, comfortable environment for all employees and visitors.
  • Help to maintain branch fleet and equipment that reflect our image and provide a safe operating environment for our employees.
  • Prospect for leads and make sure they get included in the branch’s prospecting system.

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated ability and two years’ experience managing others on the production level, including recruiting, hiring, performing evaluations, and training and development.
  • Demonstrated skill and ability in sales and customer service. Must have at least two years of experience dealing directly with service customers.
  • Demonstrated skill and ability in managing the production of service work. At least two years of experience running more than one project at a time.
  • Demonstrated ability and at least one year of experience estimating enhancement-type work.
  • Two or four-year horticultural or related degrees and two years of industry experience. Additional industry experience or industry certifications can substitute for a non-related degree, two-year degree, or no degree.
