Join the Lawnmasters Team!

Lawnmasters is looking for an experienced, motivated, and detail-oriented Landscape Project Manager to join our Panama City team!

We're looking for someone who knows the landscape industry, understands how to turn a set of plans into a completed project, and can confidently manage crews, materials, schedules, and customer expectations.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in landscape installation, irrigation systems, and project management. This position requires someone who is just as comfortable working with landscape plans and computer software as they are walking a job site and directing crews.

If you're organized, dependable, knowledgeable, and take pride in delivering quality work, we want to talk to you!

What You'll Be Doing

Project Management & Field Operations

• Oversee landscape installation projects from start to finish, ensuring quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
• Coordinate daily crew assignments, project schedules, equipment, and materials.
• Monitor job progress to ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget.
• Conduct site visits to inspect work, troubleshoot issues, and ensure installations meet company standards.
• Communicate with customers, subcontractors, vendors, and team members throughout each project.
• Identify potential problems and develop practical solutions to keep projects moving forward.

Landscape Plans & Installation

• Read, interpret, and understand landscape blueprints, site plans, and installation specifications.
• Translate landscape plans into clear instructions for installation crews.
• Understand proper installation techniques for trees, shrubs, sod, mulch, drainage, hardscapes, and other landscape materials.
• Calculate material quantities and coordinate ordering and deliveries.
• Verify that installations are completed according to plans, specifications, and quality expectations.
• Recognize and address site conditions that may affect installation.

Irrigation Knowledge

• Understand irrigation system components, layout, and installation practices.
• Read and interpret irrigation plans and specifications.
• Coordinate irrigation installation with landscape construction activities.
• Identify common irrigation issues and work with crews to resolve them.
• Ensure irrigation work is performed according to project specifications and applicable requirements.

Administrative & Computer Responsibilities

• Use computer software to manage project schedules, job information, and documentation.
• Maintain accurate records of project progress, materials, labor, and job-related expenses.
• Review project plans, estimates, and work orders.
• Communicate professionally through email, phone, and project management software.
• Assist with project closeouts and tracking actual job costs against estimates.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Previous experience in landscape installation, landscape construction, or landscape project management.
• Ability to read and interpret landscape plans, blueprints, and installation drawings.
• Working knowledge of irrigation systems, including installation methods and components.
• Strong understanding of landscape installation practices, materials, and equipment.
• Solid computer skills, including email, Microsoft Office, and the ability to learn project management software.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.
• Strong organizational, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally with customers, crews, and management.
• Valid driver's license.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing landscape installation crews or subcontractors.
• Experience with commercial landscape construction projects.
• Familiarity with estimating, material takeoffs, and job costing.
• Knowledge of grading, drainage, hardscape installation, and plant materials suited to Northwest Florida.
• Experience using landscape design software, digital blueprints, or construction management programs.
• Relevant landscape, irrigation, or construction industry certifications.

The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who:

• Knows the work. You understand landscape installation and can recognize when something is being done correctly—or when it needs to be fixed.
• Can read the plans. You can take a landscape drawing and turn it into an organized, actionable project.
• Is comfortable with technology. You can manage schedules, documentation, and communication without struggling with computers.
• Takes ownership. You don't wait for someone else to solve problems. You anticipate issues and take action.
• Leads by example. You can direct crews, maintain accountability, and earn the respect of your team.
• Pays attention to details. You understand that quality workmanship and customer satisfaction are what build a great reputation.
