Summary
Scott's Quality Lawn Care is looking for an ambitious and physically active individual to fill an important and demanding role on our field staff year round! Ideally you would start immediately on our lawn mowing crew at $21/hr and then transition to our snow removal crew. We are looking for an individual with the capabilities of running a 2-3 person residential snow removal crew during the winter season. Your short time on the lawn mowing crew would essentially be your tryout for the snow removal crew whether that be an hourly position, or more ideally for what we are looking for, a salaried crew leader position.
Here's a brief summary on each of the two positions that we'd like someone to hold year round:
Lawn Mowing Crew Member
You will of course be starting with us in September but to give you a general idea of what an entire season looks like: Typical hours on the mowing crew are about 9-10 hours and 4 days per week, however during the first 2-3 weeks of the spring we typically work 6 days per week with an average of about 10 hours per day. Once we are in our mowing season, the normal 4 day per week schedule will kick in where we try to work Monday through Thursday. This is advantageous because our employees typically receive overtime pay and can enjoy a 3 day weekend if we finish our mowing schedule. We will of course work to catch up on Friday, Saturday or Sunday if weather delays us. It's typical to work an average of one Friday per month and maybe a Saturday once every year. We have never worked a Sunday during our lawn mowing season. As mentioned, do plan to work weekends during the spring clean-up season and possibly the fall clean-up season, but generally speaking during the mowing season you will enjoy a 4 day work week.
Residential Snow Removal Crew Leader
You and your partner will be responsible for approximately 35 residential snow removal clients. This job is physically demanding and difficult at times so you must be in very good physical condition.You will work when it snows so you must be watching your phone at all times and be available at a moment's notice. With a "work when it snows" type of schedule this will result in a good number of days off, however the hours and days you work will be sporadic. This position typically averages out to about 20 hours per week worked. Of course there will be weeks where you won't work at all and weeks where you may work everyday. Some days will be easy and enjoyable, whereas other days can be extremely draining and test you physically and mentally. The starting pay for a Snow Removal Crew Leader is $3,165 per month. There are additional opportunities for bonuses each month too.
You must be available every day during the 6 month period with the exception of Christmas Day as this is the only day that we do not guarantee our service to our clients. If it snows on Christmas Day, we go out the following day.
Crew Leaders will enjoy the perk of selecting two weekends per season that they would like to have off regardless of if it snows or not. You will be granted the opportunity to pick a weekend off subject to availability and then a second weekend in the New Year provided that you have not missed any days or been late for any work days.
Scott's Quality Lawn Care also offers a full benefits package after 3 months of employment (not available to seasonal workers). We also reward our field staff with bonuses each month based on performance! You will enjoy other perks too such as some discounted and free services. We are a fast paced and growing company.
Ultimately, as we grow we are looking for more people who can take on more responsibility. It is likely that another field manager will be needed in 1-3 years time. This could be you in the future if this is something you are interested in working towards, but maybe this isn't for you and you would prefer to be one of our vital field staff members for years to come. We would love to meet you and learn about your goals and if our company would be an ideal fit for you.
