Lawn Care - Turf Trainee

Ryan Lawn and Tree Inc • Grandview, MO, US • 2w ago

Description

Did you know that Ryan Lawn & Tree is a $100M+ professional Lawn & Landscape company? We've built one of the most respected lawn and tree care companies in the Midwest — and serve customers across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. We're on a mission to raise the bar for our entire industry — attracting exceptional people, treating them right, and doing work that leaves a mark on every community we touch.

Become the Lawn Detective Homeowners Can't Live Without.

Some people see a struggling lawn. You see a mystery waiting to be solved. You know that the right diagnosis, the right application, and the right care can turn a problem property into a neighborhood showpiece — and you take real pride in making that happen. At Ryan Lawn & Tree, we're looking for a Turf Trainee who's ready to be both a skilled technician and a trusted advisor — the person homeowners call when their lawn needs saving and the person who delivers results that actually last.

What You'll Do

Own your route. Manage a route of 400–500 customers, delivering consistent, high-quality service on every visit.
Diagnose and solve. Identify lawn problems others can't see and prescribe specific solutions that actually work for each individual property.
Deliver the full package. Complete turf bid requests, fertilization applications, aeration, seeding, and service calls across your customer base.
Be the expert. Develop a thorough knowledge of turfgrass practices as well as all other Ryan services so you can be a true resource for your customers.
Build relationships. Provide excellent account management and customer service — earning the trust of homeowners who take pride in their outdoor spaces.

Requirements

What You Bring

High School Diploma or GED required
Experience in horticulture, landscaping, customer service, or a related field preferred
Bachelor's or Associate's degree in agronomy, turfgrass, or agricultural sciences is a plus
Valid driver's license; ability to obtain DOT certification
Ability to obtain and maintain a state-issued pesticide applicator license (turfgrass) within 3 months
A curious, problem-solving mindset and a genuine love for the outdoors

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
Ability to walk, stand, and push/pull equipment for extended periods, including up to 3 miles per day in the field
Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions, year-round

We hire great people for our employee-owned company. As a member of our team, you'll become a partner in the highest-quality lawn and tree company in the Midwest.
