Lawn Care Technician
Our goal is a happy work force. With that mindset, we are not going to press you to work a job and make it your life. Delaware Valley Turf is a turf management business with the main location in Broomall, Delaware County of Pennsylvania. We also have two other branch locations. One is in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and the other is in Newark, Delaware. We can help you continue to manage turf and still have time to spend with your family and friends. You can take time off in the summer when there is so much more to do rather than work 6 to 7 days a week. In fact we encourage vacation time in the summer when our operations slow down.
You see, we love turf management. We started on golf course crews and like you and aspired to be a golf course superintendent. However, life got in the way of our dream and we are glad it did. Realizing that the same principles applied to lawns and athletic fields, we grew this company to where it is today. Today we manage over 8000 commercial and residential customers. We work on everything from college campuses to small residential lawns. Our goal is the same as the golf course superintendent's, great looking grass. We would like to utilize your agronomic knowledge and training to provide first class turf management programs.
Our great customer service and excellent turf results have helped us to grow quickly. Now we need another lawn care route manager for our company. We are looking for a mature person who is working in the turf industry. We are not going to go into all of the skills needed, you already know that. What I am going to say is you need a valid driver’s license and have a great attitude. We are looking for a “people person” to add to our, can do it, positive culture.
It would be best if you are familiar with turf application equipment and willing to undergo a basic background check in accordance with local laws and regulations.
What are the benefits in this position? It is full time. Don’t worry, we are going to pay you better than our competition so you’re happy, so you can make our clients happy so we can be happy. And there’s more. You get medical insurance, dental insurance, major holidays paid, vacation, uniforms, 401k program, weekends off, and most importantly, respect. We average 25 paid days off per year per person. This does not include weekends which are always off except for 2 or 3 Saturdays in the Fall. There will be opportunities for advancement.
