ABOUT LAWNMORE

LawnMore has been serving Gainesville and the surrounding area for over 25 years. We are not just a lawn care company — we are a team built on purpose, on people, and on a standard of excellence we are proud of. We believe work should mean something. We run our business with intention — with clear vision, real accountability, and a genuine investment in the people on our team. We want every team member to grow here, not just clock in and out. If you are someone who believes a workplace can be a real community and a business can operate with both profitability and integrity, you will fit right in. Our three core values are not slogans — they are the standard we hire, develop, and hold one another to: Do the Right Thing — Honesty and integrity in every decision, even when no one is watching. Always Be Positive — Energy and optimism are contagious. We choose to lift people up. Excellence by Design — Good enough is never the goal. Every job and every interaction should reflect a standard we are proud of.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Field Operations Manager — someone we can trust to be our eyes, ears, and energy in the field every single day. This is not a desk job, and it is not a task-manager position. This is a hands-on, people-first leadership role where you are out on job sites, in front of customers, and in the trucks and yards with your crews — not behind a computer. You will have real ownership, real earning potential, and a seat at the leadership table. You will work alongside our owner, office manager, shop manager, and landscape manager to keep every part of the business aligned and moving forward. But your center of gravity is the field: leading crew leads and technicians, showing up on job sites, meeting with customers face-to-face, and making sure every job gets finished — and finished well. You will lead weekly crew meetings and participate in our leadership team meetings where we set priorities, solve problems, and plan for growth. This role has room to grow with the company — in responsibility, in earnings, and in impact.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Lead & Motivate People Be a trusted presence on every job site — someone crews respect and want to follow Build a culture that is genuinely positive and supportive, where people are pushed to do their best work and know someone has their back Mentor and coach crew leads and technicians — see their potential and invest in helping them reach it Lead weekly stand-up and sit-down meetings with techs and crew leads Handle hiring, onboarding, performance conversations, and difficult decisions with honesty and care Organize crew appreciation events and team experiences that build real morale Drive Jobs to the Finish Line Serve as the connecting force between leadership vision and day-to-day execution Visit job sites regularly — not to check a box, but to walk the property, catch issues early, and hold the standard Bring the tenacity to follow through until a job is actually done right, not just started Collaborate daily with the office manager, shop manager, and landscape manager to keep operations running Manage scheduling coordination and client communication through our field service software (Jobber) Participate in weekly L10 leadership meetings and quarterly planning sessions Grow the Business Meet with prospective and existing clients on-site to build relationships and trust, not just close quotes Perform maintenance and cleanup quotes for prospective and existing clients Identify and present upsell opportunities: landscape installations, seasonal cleanups, out-of-scope maintenance, and referrals to our trusted service partners (fertilization, tree work, irrigation) Earn commission on upsells and new business you help close Attend chamber events, BNI meetings, and community networking functions Build genuine relationships that lead to referrals, new clients, and long-term business growth

WHO YOU ARE

We are not requiring green industry experience. We are looking for the right person. Here is what that looks like: You are someone people can trust — with the crew, with customers, and with the business You are a natural encourager who also holds people to a high standard — with consistency and respect You have real tenacity — you do not let a job or a problem go until it is actually resolved You have a proven track record of building and developing a team — people grew under your leadership and you can speak to it You handle conflict resolution, coaching, and hard conversations without shrinking from them You have an entrepreneurial spirit — you take initiative, spot opportunities, and do not wait to be told what to do You are genuinely positive — the kind of person who carries a team through a hard day You enjoy meeting people face-to-face — customers, crew, and community — and it energizes you You thrive in structured, goal-oriented environments and take real ownership of your role You are comfortable working outdoors in Florida heat — this role is primarily out in the field, and being physically prepared for the environment matters
