Build Something You Can Be Proud Of
Epic Horticultural is looking for a dependable, hard-working Landscape Installation Technician / Crew Member who enjoys working outdoors and takes pride in seeing a property completely transformed.
This is a hands-on, physically demanding job. You will dig, plant, move materials, prepare beds, install landscapes, and help turn ordinary or neglected properties into finished outdoor spaces our customers are proud of.
We work hard, but we have fun doing it. You'll sweat, you'll get dirty, and you'll be tired at the end of the day. But you'll also be able to stand back, look at the transformation you helped create, and take real pride in what you accomplished.Landscaping is hard physical work, but there is something rewarding about starting with an ordinary or outdated property and seeing the difference your work makes by the time the job is finished.
We're looking for people who appreciate that feeling, enjoy working as part of a team, and aren't afraid to put in the effort it takes to produce work they can be proud of.
About Epic Horticultural
Epic Horticultural, Inc. is a small, family-owned and operated outdoor services company based in Orlando, Florida. We provide a broad range of services including lawn and ornamental care, home pest control, landscape design and installation, irrigation repair and installation, drainage solutions, French drains, and other outdoor property improvement services.
Our owner has more than 40 years of experience in the professional lawn care industry, including building and operating successful lawn care businesses that were later acquired by major national lawn care companies.
For many years, Epic Horticultural has intentionally remained a small, owner-operated company. We are now entering a new phase of growth and are building a team capable of competing with the larger, established lawn care and outdoor service companies in Central Florida.
For the right employee, this creates a unique opportunity.
You will not simply be another technician in a large organization. You will work directly with the owner, have an opportunity to influence how the your department develops, and have a clear path toward increased responsibility and management as the company grows.
We are looking for people who want to help build something, take ownership of their work, and grow along with the company.
What You'll Be Doing
Typical responsibilities include:
- Installing trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plant material
- Preparing and renovating landscape beds
- Digging holes and trenches
- Moving soil, mulch, rock, plants, and other landscape materials
- Installing landscape materials and property improvements
- Loading and unloading trucks and trailers
- Removing old or unwanted landscaping
- Assisting with irrigation projects
- Assisting with drainage and French drain projects
- General landscape construction and installation
- Job-site cleanup and organization
- Safely using hand tools, power tools, and landscape equipment
- Helping complete projects efficiently and professionally
No two jobs are exactly the same.
One day may involve renovating an existing landscape. Another may involve installing new trees and shrubs, working on drainage, assisting with irrigation, or helping complete a larger property improvement project.
This Is Physical Work
We want applicants to understand what the job involves before applying.
This position requires:
- Regular digging by hand
- Lifting and carrying landscape materials
- Bending, kneeling, pushing, pulling, and standing for extended periods
- Working outdoors in Florida heat and changing weather conditions
- Performing physical labor throughout the workday
- Being comfortable with dirt, sweat, and hard work
Epic Horticultural uses equipment whenever practical to make jobs safer, faster, and more efficient, but equipment does not eliminate the need for physical labor.
Applicants must be willing and able to dig by hand and perform hard physical work when the job requires it.
Experience
Applicants should have at least 1 year of professional landscaping or landscape installation experience.
Experience with any of the following is especially helpful:
- Planting trees and shrubs
- Landscape installation
- Bed preparation
- Landscape renovation
- Irrigation
- Drainage
- Driving work trucks
- Towing trailers
- Operating landscape or construction equipment
Equipment operating experience is a strong plus.
You do not need to know everything. We are looking for someone with a good foundation who is willing to learn additional skills.
What We Value
We are looking for someone who:
- Shows up reliably and on time
- Takes pride in doing quality work
- Is willing to work hard
- Can follow instructions
- Works well with a small team
- Treats customers' properties with respect
- Wants to learn new skills
- Can work independently as experience develops
- Has a positive attitude
- Takes responsibility for their work
- Is willing to help wherever needed to get the job done
A valid driver's license and acceptable driving record are preferred.
Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus, but are not required.
Opportunity to Grow
Epic Horticultural is a small company, and that creates opportunities that can be harder to find in a large organization.
Good employees are noticed.
Someone who proves dependable, learns quickly, works hard, and takes responsibility may have opportunities to develop skills in:
- Landscape installation
- Equipment operation
- Irrigation
- Drainage
- Landscape layout and construction
- Crew leadership
- Job-site coordination
- Customer communication
- Estimating
- Sales
As the company grows, we will need employees who can take on greater responsibility.
Our goal is not simply to hire labor. We want to develop people who can eventually become skilled technicians, equipment operators, crew leaders, and supervisors.
If you have the ability and desire to grow, there is room to grow with us.
Pay: $17.00 - $25.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
