Field Manager

About the Role   Atkinson Landscaping is adding a new layer of field leadership to support our growing crew operations. The Field Manager is a hands-on role responsible for the day-to-day performance of 3-5 crews. This is a year-round position - landscape installation year round, with snow removal in the winter. The role reports to the Operations Manager and works closely with our Schedule Coordinator and Estimator to keep projects running efficiently, on budget, and to a high standard.
Approximately 75% of this role's time is spent in the field - pushing production, overseeing quality, and training. They're expected to be self-managed in recognizing where their time is best spent.

Key Responsibilities     Be available in at the start of the day to help crews load up, talk strategy, and ensure time is being spent effectively
Check in daily with crews in the field, setting and reinforcing daily goals
Review and approve the draft daily schedule prepared by the Schedule Coordinator.
Hold crews accountable to company standards, including clean trucks and well-maintained equipment
Keep each project's actual hours under budget
Coach and develop crew members
Work to minimize rework and callbacks on completed projects
What Success Looks Like   This role is measured primarily on two KPIs:
Projects completed at or under budgeted hours
Minimal callbacks on completed work
Qualifications     Experience in landscaping and hardscaping
Strong leadership and people-management skills - this is a crew-facing, accountability-driven role
Comfortable splitting time between hands-on field work and administrative tasks
No specific certifications or licenses required; relevant experience (e.g., pesticide application, equipment operation) is an asset
