Blades Landscaping is hiring a Field Operations Lead for a hands-on leadership role in Northwest Arkansas.
This is not an entry-level landscaping job. This is not a “we’ll teach you everything from scratch” role.
We are only hiring someone who already has real, direct landscaping experience and knows how to do the work at a high level.
That means you should understand things like:
This role is for someone who has already worked in landscaping, understands what great work looks like, and can help lead others to that standard.
We are offering $1,000/week base pay plus performance-based bonus opportunities tied to quality, profitability, new properties, and growth.
If you are dependable, experienced, hard-working, and ready to grow into a larger leadership role, this could be a strong opportunity.
If you do not already know landscaping, this is not the right role. We need someone who can step into the field, understand the work, and help us raise the standard immediately.
You will perform and lead daily landscaping work, including:
You are expected to set the pace and standard for the crew.
You will help lead the field team.
This includes:
This is a lead-from-the-front role. You should be willing to do the hard work yourself and expect the same from the team.
You will be responsible for making sure properties are completed correctly before the crew leaves.
You should be checking:
The standard is simple: leave every property looking better than when we arrived.
You will help protect the company’s equipment and tools.
This includes:
If the equipment fails, the day fails. This role requires someone who understands that.
As Blades grows, you may be trusted with direct responsibility for specific properties.
This means helping make sure those properties are:
The better you manage properties, the more opportunity you have to grow your income and responsibility.
Blades is working to grow revenue and expand its property base.
You may help support growth by:
You do not have to be a salesperson. But if you help bring in business, there is upside.
This is the high-output season.
Expect:
This is where the company earns, and this is where bonus opportunities are created.
The slower season may include:
The goal is simple: work hard when it counts, then use the slower season to reset, improve, and prepare.
This role is designed as a launching pad.
Where you start.
You are in the field, leading work, building trust, earning your base, and proving you can own results.
You take full ownership of a crew and a larger property portfolio.
You are expected to run your piece of the business with less oversight.
You help oversee multiple crews, properties, schedules, equipment, and team performance.
Your compensation and bonus opportunity increase with responsibility.
Top performers may grow into a leadership role with significant authority, responsibility, and earning potential.
This is the path for someone who wants to build a real future here.
Blades is working toward significant growth in 2026.
The goal is to add meaningful new recurring monthly revenue and continue growing the business into a stronger, more profitable company.
If you help drive that growth, your role can expand, your bonus opportunity can grow, and your long-term future at Blades can become significantly more valuable.
