Production Manager

Vita Green | Wenatchee, WA and surrounding areas | Full time, year-round

A 40-year brand behind you, year-round work, and the Cascade foothills out your window.

Vita Green has cared for Central Washington's lawns, landscapes, and properties since 1986. Nearly four decades in, we are the most established green‑industry name in the valley: landscape maintenance, lawn care, plant health care, irrigation, tree and shrub services, pest control, snow removal, and holiday lighting, all under one roof. We serve Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Chelan, Leavenworth, Cashmere, and the communities around them, and our clients stay with us because the work gets done right.

We are a 21‑person team with a 30‑plus year reputation and real room to grow. Vita Green is part of Perennial Services Group (PSG), a national platform of 35‑plus partner companies and roughly 1,700 employees across landscape, turf, pest, arbor, irrigation, and plant health care.

We are building the leadership bench to carry that standard into the next decade, and we want a Production Manager to own the field operation.

We are hiring a Production Manager to run the day‑to‑day field operation across all seven service lines and to be the General Manager's trusted right hand. You will run production with rigor, develop the leads who run each discipline, and take enough off the GM's plate that he can focus on growth, customers, and strategy.

This is not a working foreman role. You lead through coaching, systems, and accountability, not by grabbing a mower or a sprayer yourself. You will partner closely with the General Manager on hiring, customer escalations, and operational planning, and the right person will grow with the business as Vita Green scales.

Most leadership jobs in this trade come in two flavors: the working‑foreman grind at a small shop with no systems, no benefits, and no ceiling, or a cog seat at a big regional operation hours from home. This is neither, and that changes everything about how the job feels.

• A 40-year name behind you. You are stepping into the most established green‑industry brand in the valley, with a reputation and a client base that are already built.
• Year‑round work, no winter layoff. Seven service lines keep the calendar full. Snow and holiday lighting carry the winter, so this is steady, full‑time, salaried work all year.
• The platform of a national company. As part of Perennial Services Group, you get real benefits, structured leadership development through Perennial University, and a peer network across 35‑plus companies. Local shops cannot offer that.
• A real seat, not a number. We are still a tight 21‑person team. Your fingerprints will be all over how this business grows, and the people you lead will know you by name.
• A place worth staying for. Wenatchee, Chelan, the Cascade foothills, and year‑round recreation right out the door. This is a career you can build without leaving the place you love.

• Own daily and weekly production across maintenance, lawn care, plant health care, irrigation, pest control, snow, and holiday lighting
• Track the numbers that matter: labor hours vs. estimate, job completion rates, callback rates by service line, safety incidents, and equipment downtime
• Find the workflow inefficiencies and rework drivers and fix them systematically, not job‑by‑job
• Keep a production calendar the GM, office, and field actually trust

• Design and maintain efficient routes that maximize crew productivity and profitability across every service line
• Run seasonal capacity planning: snow readiness in fall, irrigation startup in spring, peak landscape demand in summer, holiday lighting in Q4
• Adjust crew deployment around weather, customer schedules, and operational priorities

• Coach the leads who run each discipline. Your job is to make them better at theirs, not to do theirs for them
• Set clear expectations for technicians and hold regular check‑ins and performance conversations
• Partner with the GM on hiring, onboarding, and training new field staff
