Job Full Description
Landscape Designer / General Manager
📍 Springfield, IL
💲 $25/hour | Day Shift | Full-Time
Are you a skilled Landscape Designer who’s ready to lead?
We’re seeking a hands-on professional who can blend creative design, sales expertise, and operational leadership to drive projects from concept to completion.
This is more than a design role — this is a leadership opportunity with real impact.
What You’ll Do
Design & Sales
-
Meet with residential and commercial clients to assess sites
-
Develop creative, functional landscape master plans
-
Prepare accurate cost estimates and professional proposals
-
Present designs and close projects
Operational Leadership
-
Oversee daily field operations and workforce management
-
Train and mentor crew members
-
Monitor productivity, timelines, and project budgets
-
Ensure projects are completed on time and within margin goals
Project Coordination
-
Manage transition from design to installation
-
Coordinate procurement of materials and equipment scheduling
-
Conduct onsite quality control inspections
What We’re Looking For
-
Proven track record in landscape design
-
3–5+ years in a management or supervisory role
-
Proficiency in design software (CAD, PRO Landscape, or similar)
-
Deep knowledge of Midwest plant palettes, hardscape materials, and drainage solutions
-
Strong financial acumen (budgeting, P&L oversight, margin management)
-
Ability to confidently lead both clients and crews
Physical Requirements
This is an active role. You must be able to:
-
Work in various outdoor conditions (heat, cold, dust)
-
Navigate uneven terrain for measurements and inspections
-
Lift 50+ lbs and assist with hands-on tasks when needed
-
Dig and work alongside crews as required
Why This Role Stands Out
-
Leadership-level impact
-
Creative and operational responsibility
-
Day shift schedule
-
Competitive pay at $25/hour
-
Opportunity to grow with an established Springfield landscaping operation
If you’re a designer who understands both creativity and profitability — and you’re ready to lead from the front — we want to talk to you.
