Estimating & Design Lead — US Commercial Landscaping (remote)
Schedule: Core U.S. business hours required, especially when coordinating with onsite sales, estimators, property managers, and field leadership. Exact schedule discussed during interviews.
Compensation: $1,250 USD/month base. OTE $3,250+ USD/month
Performance compensation designed to let strong performers earn an additional $2,000+ USD/month to the base salary (details below).
We're building a serious commercial landscaping company serving property managers, HOAs, multifamily communities, retail centers, office parks, banks, churches, schools, industrial properties, and other commercial accounts.
Our sales team is hunting new business aggressively. What's been missing is someone who can turn a site into an accurate, defensible estimate, and bring real landscape knowledge into the proposals we send.
This is not a cold-calling or prospecting seat. That's covered by our BD team.
We need someone who can look at a property, a site plan, or a set of specs and understand what it actually takes to landscape and maintain it: scope, plant material, hardscape, labor, timeline, and turn that into a clean, accurate estimate our sales team can put in front of a client fast.
There's a performance component tied to results, but the job is estimating and design support first. If you've spent real time in the green space, landscaping, grounds maintenance, horticulture, landscape architecture, you already have the instinct this role needs.
