As the Landscape & Grounds Supervisor, you will:

• Supervise, schedule, coach, and work alongside the groundskeeping team
• Maintain ornamental landscapes, lawns, trees, shrubs, seasonal color, and perennial gardens
• Oversee mowing, pruning, mulching, planting, edging, and landscape improvements
• Monitor and maintain irrigation systems for healthy plant growth and water efficiency
