Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and oversee a small crew to ensure projects are completed efficiently and to high-quality standards.
• Operate and train others on turf-specific equipment, including sod cutters, laser graders, skid steers, tractors, and topdressers.
• Coordinate with sod farms for material deliveries and ensure proper handling and installation.
• Manage site preparation, including sod removal, regrading, and surface smoothing for golf courses and athletic fields.
• Work hands-on in the field while delegating tasks and ensuring team productivity.
• Troubleshoot issues in the field and adjust work plans as necessary to meet project requirements.
• Train new crew members on equipment operation, installation techniques, and job site efficiency.
• Travel regularly within New England for projects, with some overnight stays as needed.

• Experience working directly with sod farms and turf suppliers.
• Skilled in operating and maintaining turf construction equipment.
• Comfortable with a travel-heavy schedule, working at various sites throughout New England.
• Strong communication skills for coordinating with clients, suppliers, and team members.
