Accountabilities:

• Review site plans, specifications, property photos, and other project information to accurately determine landscaping and maintenance requirements.

• Track estimating activity from initial request through proposal delivery and follow-up using the CRM.


• Apply practical landscape and design expertise to proposals, including plant selection, layout considerations, maintenance requirements, and overall property needs.


• Identify incomplete, unrealistic, or potentially problematic scopes before proposals are presented to clients.


• Support proactive estimating efforts by identifying strong-fit commercial properties and developing preliminary quotes before formal requests are received.


• Prepare sales teams for site visits through property research, historical scope reviews, photographs, notes, and other relevant information.


• Collaborate closely with onsite sales representatives, estimators, property managers, and field leadership to ensure proposals accurately reflect operational requirements.


• Maintain clear ownership and communication throughout the quote-to-proposal process, ensuring requests do not remain unassigned or delayed.


• Contribute landscape expertise that helps strengthen proposals, improve estimating accuracy, and support successful contract acquisition.

Requirements

• Strong ability to interpret site plans, specifications, property details, photographs, and other project documentation and translate them into practical scope and cost requirements.


• Solid understanding of commercial landscaping and maintenance operations, including materials, plant selection, labor, equipment, timelines, and service requirements.
