JOB DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for an experienced project manager to lead and inspire a team of dedicated landscapers.
At Park, we’re true believers in how building and maintaining attractive landscapes can have a positive impact on our communities.

As our newest project manager in our West Edmonton office, you will lead three crews who will look to you for project direction, problem-solving, and mentorship. Construction of landscaping features can be challenging, but rewarding: you’ll be the steady foundation your team can depend on, and customers will praise and trust.
This role offers many opportunities for upward mobility. With the help of our operations manager, you’ll be gaining new skills and will be expected to continually learn new methods, adapt to technology — and steadily grow customer relationships.
