Project Manager, Landscape Installation
Sunrise Landscape, Tampa, FL, United States
Project Manager, Landscape Installation
Due to a very specific need, only candidates who have direct landscape project management experience will be contacted. This is not a construction project management position.
Build Projects. Drive Profitability. Deliver Excellence.
For more than 40 years, Sunrise Landscape has built a reputation for excellence in commercial landscape design, installation, and maintenance. As a recognized Lawn & Landscape Top 100 company, we are growing rapidly and investing in top talent to help us scale.
We are seeking a high‑performing Project Manager with proven experience in landscape installation to lead complex, fast‑paced projects from pre‑construction through completion. This is not a general construction role—we are looking for someone who understands the unique operational, material, and execution demands of landscape projects.
Important Information for Candidates: This is a hands‑on, field‑connected role focused on landscape construction and installation projects. This is not an IT, software, or technical project management position. Candidates must have prior experience managing landscape installation projects.
Your Impact

Own project profitability and performance from start to finish
Act as the face of Sunrise to clients (home builders, general contractors)
Partner directly with field leadership to drive execution
Influence outcomes and quality, not just manage tasks

Lead projects from handoff through closeout with full accountability for schedule, cost, and quality.

Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, ensuring clear communication, responsiveness, and satisfaction throughout the project.
Build client relationships and identify opportunities to sell additional change orders.
Partner with field supervisors and crews to verify site readiness, design compliance, and installation quality.

Develop and maintain a weekly profitability tracker, reviewing key metrics such as materials, labor, and margin.

Run job costing on every project, aligning expenses and billing to ensure job is run on time and under budget.
Maintain a weekly profitability tracker and take action to stay on budget.
Identify and capture change order opportunities.
Lead Client Relationships
Serve as the primary client contact throughout the project lifecycle
Deliver proactive communication and build long‑term relationships
Partner with Operations
Work closely with field supervisors and crews to ensure execution aligns with design and expectations
Lead weekly operations meetings and drive accountability across teams
Ensure Quality & Closeout Excellence
Conduct final walkthroughs with clients and confirm punch list completion.
Verify whether any claims are warranty‑related and coordinate timely resolution.
Submit project closeout documentation, including invoices, warranties, and service transition details.
Collaborate with Project Coordinators and service teams to ensure accurate handoff for warranty and maintenance.
What We’re Looking For (Required)
5+ years of Project Management experience with at least 1-2 years specifically in professional landscape (REQUIRED)
Strong knowledge of landscape construction methods, materials, irrigation, and scheduling
Proven ability to manage multiple projects, budgets, and timelines simultaneously
Experience owning job costing, purchasing, and profitability tracking
Strong client‑facing communication and relationship management skills
Proficiency in tools such as Aspire, Procore, or similar systems
Core Competencies
Project Ownership: Leads installation projects with accountability for scope, schedule, and financial outcomes.
Financial & Operational Acumen: Monitors profitability, cost control, and purchasing accuracy.
Client Relationship Management: Maintains proactive communication and builds trust through responsiveness and transparency.
Collaboration: Partners effectively with field supervisors, purchasing, and administrative teams to ensure project success.
Execution & Follow‑Through: Drives consistency in scheduling, documentation, and operational readiness.
