Project Manager

Houston Landscapes is looking for amazing people. Our goal is to be the best Landscape company in BC, and we know that to be the best, it takes great leadership and a solid effort from the entire team! We are consistently blown away with our team’s talent, work ethic and solutions focused attitude.

We pride ourselves on developing great leaders and providing opportunities for our people to grow. To do this, we’re always looking to add the right like-minded people to our team who deliver incredible landscapes and client experiences.

• Open to feedback and focused on personal and professional growth
