The Simplot Company is a diverse, privately held global food and agriculture company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. We are a true farm-to-table company with an integrated portfolio including food processing and food brands, phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, farming, ranching and cattle production, and other enterprises related to agriculture.
Michigan is a key growth market for Simplot Turf & Horticulture, and we're looking for relationship-driven professionals who want to help build what's next. This isn't a role built around maintaining the status quo. It's an opportunity to join a respected industry leader, establish new partnerships, grow our presence across the state, and make a visible impact on the future of our business.
Whether you're currently working as a Golf Course Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Sports Turf Manager, Turf Equipment Sales Representative, Agronomist, Landscape Account Manager, Landscape Operations Leader, or another green industry professional, this role offers the opportunity to leverage your industry expertise, expand your impact, and take your career to the next level.
At Simplot, you'll have the autonomy to manage your territory, the support of experienced leaders, and the chance to help shape our long-term success in Michigan. If you're passionate about the industry, enjoy building relationships, and are excited by the opportunity to create something meaningful, we'd love to meet you.
This is an opportunity to help build Simplot's future in Michigan, not simply step into an existing territory.
We're intentionally open-minded about background and years of experience. Previous sales experience is helpful, but industry knowledge and relationship-building ability are often more important. We can teach products and processes. We value people who understand our customers, can speak their language, and can build trust. Candidates may come from golf course operations, turfgrass management, lawn care, landscaping, equipment sales, agronomy, horticulture, sports turf, nursery operations, or other green industry backgrounds.
Why Join Our Team?
This is an exciting time to join Simplot Turf & Horticulture. We're investing in Michigan, expanding our presence, and creating opportunities for talented professionals to help drive that growth. You'll join a team that combines the strength and resources of a respected industry leader with the entrepreneurial spirit of a growing business.
New Turf Advisors receive hands-on onboarding, ride-alongs, mentorship, and field training from experienced leaders and successful advisors. Rather than learning from a desk, you'll spend time in the field building relationships, learning the business, and gaining firsthand experience.
Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. The work you do, the relationships you build, and the business you develop will be visible and valued.
Successful Turf Advisors become trusted resources within the industry. They develop lasting customer relationships, identify opportunities for growth, collaborate effectively with teammates, and help establish Simplot as a preferred partner throughout Michigan. Within the first year, success means opening new accounts, creating momentum in the market, and helping expand Simplot's footprint across the state.
This position is advertised statewide as Simplot continues to grow throughout Michigan, with opportunities supporting multiple regions across the state. Relocation assistance is not available.
