EarthWorks, Inc. offers landscape driver jobs in Houston, Texas; could this be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for?
When you work as a landscape driver for EarthWorks Inc., you’re lucky enough to spend most of your time outdoors, where you’ll be helping property managers and business owners across Dallas, Irving, Arlington, and Fort Worth improve the appearance and functionality of their outside spaces.
The job involves various tasks, so it never gets boring – you could be creating or enhancing lawns, patios, decks, gardens, and other landscape features as part of the crew. Planting, mowing, trimming, digging, spreading dirt, sod laying, raking, pruning, watering, and mulching are some of the tasks you will be required to do. You are also responsible for driving the crew to your different work locations using the safe, dependable transportation EarthWorks Inc. provides for you.
The work itself can be quite rewarding as our clients entrust us, and in turn, you with helping them maintain their beautiful outdoor space. Some of our clients are property managers who are responsible for the upkeep of condos or apartments, so the outdoor spaces are seen and enjoyed by many people. Many of our clients take the time to reach out to us with five-star reviews, recognizing the hard work and effort that goes into maintaining their beautiful landscapes. We are always eager to share these reviews with our employees! And since we know people don’t just work for positive feedback, we pay a competitive wage of $137-$155 a day!
What are the job expectations for landscape driver jobs in Houston, Texas?
As a landscape driver, in addition to the transport vehicles, you’ll be using a range of hand and motorized tools and, in some cases, construction vehicles. You need to be responsible and trustworthy so you can work safely and efficiently, protecting company vehicles, clients, and your crew.
You also need to be motivated and able to manage your schedule to make the best use of your time when working on different stages of a project. While a supervisor oversees you, your role isn’t micro-managed, and you can control day-to-day tasks in cooperation with your crewmates.
Needless to say, safety is paramount in the landscaping business, and you should ensure that you abide by the standards set by EarthWorks Inc. and other agencies. You also need to be up-to-date with current OSHA, federal, and state standards in the landscape industry.
What skills are needed for the job?
Some of the skills and attributes EarthWorks Inc. is looking for in their landscape drivers include:
- Flexibility
- Ability to multitask
- Effective prioritization
- Use of initiative
- Ability to be proactive
- Good verbal communication skills
- If you’re bilingual (English/Spanish), that’s a definite advantage
You don’t need specific qualifications, but some level of education is desirable. You do need a valid driver’s license with no more than two driving violations. You also have to be at least 22 years old for business insurance purposes. EarthWorks Inc. adheres to EEOC and other government regulations and can make reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants.
Of course, one of the most essential requirements for the role is your comfort with physical activity – this is an active job regularly involving lifting and moving items weighing up to 50 pounds. You’ll spend a good proportion of your day engaged in physical tasks.
