Account Manager / Project Estimator
The Role
We’re looking for someone who loves the technical side of landscaping and enjoys working directly with clients. One moment you might be reviewing specs with a commercial property manager, and the next you’re guiding a homeowner through a patio design. You’ll price projects accurately, present clear proposals, and help clients understand why our team is the right choice. A customer‑first mindset and strong attention to detail are essential. Former Project Managers are encouraged to apply.
The Growth Path: To ensure you are fully dialed into our specific build-styles and profit margins, this role will begin with a heavy focus on technical estimating and proposal generation for existing leads for the first 60-90 days. As you master our pricing systems and production rates, you will quickly transition into a Lead Sales role, taking full ownership of the client relationship from initial consultation to the signed contract.
Key Responsibilities:
- Meet with clients to understand their vision, educate them on possibilities, and close deals without being "pushy."
- We expect you to own your pipeline. You’ll be responsible for a proactive follow-up cadence that ensures no lead goes cold and every client feels like a priority.
- Perform detailed site take-offs and calculate labor, materials, and equipment costs for full-scale installs.
- Collaborate on layouts to ensure what we sell is actually buildable and beautiful.
- While we provide a steady flow of inbound leads, you aren't afraid to go find the next great client. Whether it’s networking with local builders, visiting job sites, or connecting with HOA boards, you are always looking for opportunities to grow the brand!
Who You Are
- You don’t need a decade of experience, but you do need to know your stuff. We care about what you know, not how long you've been doing it. You have a background in landscape installation and can accurately estimate labor and materials for projects like a 1,000 sq. ft. paver job.
- You’re an approachable, high-energy advocate who leads with empathy. You prioritize the team’s success and leave every client with a smile.
- You do not need to be micromanaged and naturally stay organized.
- Comfortable using estimating software, CRM tools, and know how to read a design plan. Extra points if you have experience with LMN.
- You're a proactive closer who finds opportunity in every landscape. As a natural brand advocate, you turn potential leads into loyal clients.
