Design/Build: Help create stunning outdoor living spaces through hardscape and irrigation installs on large-scale projects.
Maintenance: Support detail crews and landscape maintenance teams with weekly/biweekly upkeep.

Client Communication: Engage directly with clients across all departments, providing excellent customer service and gaining real-world communication experience.

Requirements

This is a physical, hands-on role, so come ready to work! We're looking for students who are:

Ambitious & Eager to Learn: You should be a self-starter who is passionate about learning and growing in a fast-paced environment.
Academically Inclined: While we prefer students studying Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape Management, Agriculture, or Business, all majors are welcome to apply!
