RED SHOVEL SEEKS: Fearless Landscape Designer

When you can walk into someone’s yard, and transform it into something shockingly beautiful that changes the experience they have in their home life? THAT’S an incredible feeling.

And at Red Shovel, it can be a great career.

I’m Kenny Grebe, owner of Red Shovel Landscape, where we perform yard miracles great and small every day, that bring joy to families all over Albuquerque.

But we’re getting so many requests for complete yard re-designs, I need to bring on at least two more architects to help bring all these dream yards to life!

Are you dependable?

Are you honest?

And do you have an old-fashioned work ethic?

Do you enjoy working outside, with nature?

Do you genuinely LIKE people?

If you do excellent work and you’re one of us, then with Red Shovel you’ll get a lot more money, more benefits, and more and more opportunity to rise.

Here’s what you’ll get to start:

• Guaranteed 40 hr work week

• $18 - $20 hr. to start (increasing with training and experience!)

• Plus Up to $10,000.00 in available Bonuses and Commissions.

REQUIREMENTS:

· You’re a good team player and a good leader

· You love LIFE

· You love PEOPLE

· You’re an ARTIST

· You are also a details person. For instance, if you don’t read this posting thoroughly (hint hint)I will never see your resume.

ATTITUDE:

You can’t teach the right attitude. You’ve either got it, or you don’t. We call it having a “servants’ heart” toward other people.

FOCUS:

We value thoroughness and the ability to focus, so I’m putting a special word in this paragraph to w**d people out. Anyone skimming through job descriptions and blindly blasting out resumes won’t see this line. But you’re actually reading this job description, aren’t you? Nicely done. Put the word, “ ” in the subject line of your reply (or initial Facebook Message), and I’ll give your resume the same respect you’ve given this job description. I’ll actually read it! Any application that does not have in the subject line/message, will be printed out, wadded into a ball, and tossed into the trash via sky hook, nothing but net.

JOINING THE TEAM:

Most of the people who work here have been here for several years. This is not a place with a lot of turnover, and that should tell you something. This is a truly amazing job for the right person.

At Red Shovel we love what we do, because we make a big DIFFERENCE in the experience of the people we serve.

If YOU think you might be one of us and this might be for you? I’d love to hear from you. You can attach your resume to an email, and in the email tell me about yourself. Tell me a story. And a fabulous new opportunity could be just an email away.

I’m Kenny Grebe, owner of Red Shovel Landscape and Groundskeeping, where we’ve been the #1 Rated Landscape Company in all of New Mexico for years, because we’ve been training and empowering the best Yard Tech Team in the business for years.

I’m hoping you have lots of landscaping experience, but even if you don’t, that’s not a deal-breaker. We can train and teach you everything you need to excel in this field. That’s not the problem.

The problem is, I can’t teach someone to have humility and kindness in the workplace.
I cannot train someone to have a servant’s heart toward the customer they are serving.
I cannot give someone the ability to relate to people from all walks of life and treat everyone equally, with respect.
I need someone who brings those qualities with them to this job interview.

Because the things that really matter, are those things you bring with you: the natural abilities and attitudes of a top performer:

INTEGRITY: To you, doing the job RIGHT isn’t just a nice goal. It’s a duty. That’s just how you roll.
EXCELLENCE: You always keep a clean truck, clean tools and a clean shirt. Because that’s how it’s done.
HEART: You genuinely like people.

I don’t hire people if all they have is skill; I hire the people who have the highest work ethic and most eagerness to become exceptional at what they do. And then I make sure they get the training they need, make the money they deserve and then insure they have enough time for their FAMILY. Because a burned out employee with an unhappy home life doesn’t work.

Our goal is to be the BEST, not the cheapest. And that’s why I happily admit:

I put my employees FIRST. Customers come second.

Why? Because it’s only happy employees that can make happy customers!

It’s that simple. And that truth has led us to the pride we take in having the best team, the most knowledgeable people, basically the happiest landscape company around! Happy to work smarter and harder and make more money than all the rest.

Do you like to work smarter AND harder?
Do you want to make more money and enjoy more freedom?

Great! Then here’s how you’ll start:

Guaranteed 40 hr work week
Your own truck and phone
$13 - $16 hr to start (increasing with training and experience!)
Plus Up to $8,000.00 in available Bonuses and Commissions.

I realize that someone like you already has a job, but, this job is way better! Because I understand your problem:

You are overworked.
You are underappreciated.
You don’t make the money you deserve.
You don’t have steady enough work, year-round.
You’re not being given the opportunity to ADVANCE.

But I strive to deliver what great working employees need:

Freedom to spend extra time on your work, enough time to make sure it all looks and works perfectly. We do it right. We know you don’t drag your feet on a job. And we try hard to make sure you’re home with your family in time for dinner!

Steady work all year long. You don’t want to have to worry about being “let go” in the slower times of the year. But we work all four seasons. I believe in full-time work, and career opportunities for my Team, not seasonal work.

Enough time off with your family. Because an overworked, burned out tech is not the goal. We put our employees first, customers second; Because we know that it’s happy employees that MAKE happy customers!

Better pay, more opportunity. I believe in paying you more than average salary to start, and let you rise to the occasion and BE that level of employee. And then give you a path to rise as high as your skill and desire drives you to go.

JOINING THE TEAM:
Most of the people who work here have been here for several years. This is not a place with a lot of turnover. That should tell you something. This is a truly amazing job for the right person. No one here ever says, “that’s not my job.” We work together. We help each other, and we all succeed.

REQUIREMENTS:
Enthusiastic
A multi-tasker
Engaging and energetic
Outgoing
Proactive; You look for the things that need to be done.
Trustworthy – don’t need micromanaging
Work well with a Team
Work well alone
A great sense of humor (the humorless will be fired!)
Genuine heart for people

Oh, and of course, no addicts, abusers or excuse-makers. Basically, no riff-raff. But that’s not you, right?

EDUCATION:
You don’t need to be able to do calculus and speak French.
But morons, whiners, idiots, lazy people and drama queens need not apply.

ATTITUDE:
Like we said, you can’t teach the right attitude. You’ve either got it, or you don’t.

JOINING THE TEAM:
Most of the people who work here have been here for several years. This is not a place with a lot of turnover. That should tell you something. This is a truly amazing job for the right person.
