About the Role

This is a key position within CS Gardens — responsible for accurately pricing works, managing contracts, overseeing operational teams, and ensuring the profitability and quality of each project.

You’ll be the bridge between clients, our operations team, and the Managing Director. You’ll attend client meetings, assess sites, prepare quotations, and manage the delivery of works to ensure they’re completed efficiently, profitably, and to the high standard expected by our clients.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct site visits, meet clients, and prepare accurate quotations for grounds maintenance, soft landscaping, and fencing projects (with some hard landscaping).

Monitor project performance, margins, and client satisfaction, implementing improvements where necessary.
Represent the CS Gardens brand with professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to detail.

Requirements

Extensive experience in gardening, grounds maintenance, and landscaping (both soft and light hard landscaping).
Strong understanding of time, labour, and cost estimation — able to accurately price jobs and ensure profitability.
Proven experience in contract management, scheduling, and staff supervision.
Experience in fencing projects is highly desirable; some experience with patios or similar works beneficial.
Excellent client-facing and communication skills — confident in presenting, selling, and closing work.
A proactive, organised, and commercially minded individual who takes ownership of their work.
Full UK driving licence.
