- Convert quote requests into clear, accurate, and defensible proposals, with a target turnaround of approximately 72 hours for most requests.
- 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.

Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on professional experience in landscaping, grounds maintenance, horticulture, landscape architecture, or a closely related green-space discipline.
- 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.
- Professional-level written and spoken English with the ability to communicate effectively with US-based stakeholders.

- Experience using estimating software, CRM platforms, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar design and business tools is beneficial.
- Ability to provide specific, numbers-based examples of previous work, results, and estimating experience.

- Bonus for each qualified quote opportunity that progresses to a real proposal.
