The role This is not a cold-calling or prospecting seat. That's covered by our business development 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, or landscape architecture, you already have the instinct this role needs.
