Project Manager

Berns Landscaping Services
Warren, MI

NOW HIRING | FULL-TIME | ON-SITE | 5+ YEARS REQUIRED

Project Manager

Enhancements & Installation — Full-Service Landscape Company

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are a full-service landscape company with a strong reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction. Our work spans residential and commercial enhancement and installation projects — from renovations to full landscape installs. We’re growing, we’re busy, and we need a sharp, experienced Project Manager who knows how to run profitable jobs from kickoff to final walkthrough.

THE ROLE

This position is responsible for managing a portfolio of enhancement and installation projects simultaneously — coordinating crews, vendors, and materials while keeping every job on schedule and on budget. You’ll work closely with our estimating and sales team on the front end, and with our operations team through execution and closeout. Profitability is a core part of your scorecard here, not an afterthought.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Job Profitability

Monitor labor hours, material costs, and subcontractor spend against budget in real time. Flag overruns early and take corrective action.

Scheduling & Coordination

Build and maintain project schedules. Coordinate crew assignments, material deliveries, and subcontractor timing across multiple active jobs.

Crew Leadership

Direct and support field crews and foremen. Set daily expectations and ensure quality standards are met on every project.

Client Communication

Own the client relationship during execution. Communicate updates proactively, manage change orders professionally, and resolve issues quickly.

Material & Vendor Management

Source and procure plant material, supplies, and equipment. Build supplier relationships that support competitive pricing.

Documentation & Reporting

Keep accurate project records including daily logs, labor tickets, change orders, punch lists, and closeout documentation.

Scope Management

Identify scope creep early, document changes accurately, and execute change orders in a timely manner to protect project margin.

 

 

WHAT YOU BRING

Minimum 5 years in a project management role within a landscape, horticulture, or related outdoor services company — not just a field supervisor title, but actual PM responsibility.

Demonstrated track record of keeping jobs profitable — you know how to read a job cost report, protect margin, and make adjustments when a project is drifting off budget.

Hands-on knowledge of landscape installation and enhancement work — plant material, hardscape, irrigation, grading, and seasonal color. You can walk a job and know immediately what’s right and what isn’t.

Strong technology proficiency — comfortable using project management platforms (such as Aspire, LMN, Buildertrend, or equivalent), scheduling tools, digital job costing, and mobile field apps. We run a tech-forward operation and expect our PMs to do the same.

Ability to manage multiple projects at different stages simultaneously without losing track of the details on any of them.

Strong verbal and written communication skills — you can talk to a client, a crew foreman, and a vendor in the same hour and adjust your approach for each.

Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. A reliable personal vehicle is required for your commute; a company vehicle will be available for travel between the office and job sites during the workday.

• Comfortable working outdoors in variable weather conditions with a hands-on presence on job sites throughout the week.

WHAT PROFITABILITY FOCUS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE

We’re transparent about this: keeping jobs profitable is not a bonus metric here — it’s a core function of the role. We expect our PM to:

Review job cost weekly

Catch & document scope creep

Manage labor efficiency

Execute change orders promptly

Reduce material waste

Report variances to leadership

 

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, with performance incentives tied to job profitability and project outcomes.

Benefits package discussed during the interview process.

Company vehicle for job site travel

Paid time off and paid holidays.

Uniforms and field equipment provided.

Opportunity for growth — strong performers are recognized and have a path into senior operations or leadership roles as the company continues to expand.
