Job Description

Are You the Backbone of a High-Performing Team?
Do late crews and messy job sites drive you crazy because you take pride in professionalism and keeping things running smoothly?

You are relentlessly organized, calm under pressure, and the go-to person who makes things happen. You thrive in fast-paced environments, juggling schedules, crews, materials, and shifting priorities without missing a beat.

We are looking for a rare individual. Someone who can command the trust of crews, earn the respect of ownership, and confidently run the day-to-day operations of two fast-moving businesses: Garden City Groundskeeping (GC) and Toronto Artificial Grass (TAG).

This is not a cushy desk job. You'll be managing $3.25M in annual revenue across landscape construction, maintenance, enhancements, turf installs, and snow removal. You'll work closely with the field and management teams to keep projects on track, crews moving efficiently, clients satisfied, and operations humming. If you're sharp, detail-oriented, and not afraid of a little pressure, we want to talk. About the Companies

GC and TAG are separate companies

but operate as a tight-knit team with a shared leadership team.
