JR's Landscape Services is seeking a Flower Container & Plant Health Care Team Lead with floral or container design experience and a strong interest in plant health. This role is ideal for a florist, grower, or plant professional who understands design principles and wants to apply that knowledge in a hands-on, outdoor leadership role - without being stuck inside a shop all day.

Our in-house designer creates the primary container designs. The Team Lead’s responsibility is to execute those designs in the field, lead a crew through seasonal installations, and then transition to leading our Plant Health Care (PHC) team during the growing season once installations are complete.

This is a dynamic, field-based leadership role with year-round variety, responsibility, and growth opportunity. This position offers competitive pay based on experience, leadership responsibility, and seasonal performance.

JR's is more than a job—it’s a professional career that serves others by helping clients enjoy their outdoor spaces. We create beautiful landscapes where families and loved ones gather outdoors, make memories, and enjoy their time together.

JR's is not a place where you simply show up to work alongside colleagues. It’s a culture. A culture built on teamwork, growth, and people who feel like family. We take safety and training very seriously and believe there is always more to learn. That’s why we’ve developed training programs designed to support your personal success and help you grow professionally within the company.
