POSITION OVERVIEW

The Landscaping Technician position serves to support the team in the daily upkeep, and care of the landscaping, grounds, and exterior plant components throughout the Brittan Heights community. This role is responsible for assisting in maintaining a clean, attractive, and safe environment for residents and visitors, and ensuring that all landscaped areas and common grounds are consistently well maintained. Because Brittan Heights is built into hillside terrain with mature trees, varied elevations, and proximity to adjacent open space, this position also involves supporting the ongoing care and monitoring of slopes and natural areas. Due to regional fire risk considerations, including defensible space requirements in San Carlos and surrounding areas, the role includes active participation in vegetation management practices designed to reduce fire risk. This includes clearing combustible materials, maintaining appropriate plant spacing, trimming vegetation, and supporting compliance with local and state defensible space guidelines. The position also supports slope safety and erosion control efforts, with responsibilities carried out by the Landscaping Team in alignment with HOA standards. All duties are performed with a strong emphasis on safety, environmental stewardship, and compliance with applicable regulations and best practices for landscape maintenance in hillside communities.
