We are also offering the option to apply to an innovative and unique “Dual Role” position.  You may apply to either a single role or a dual role position. The dual role approach to employment combines traditional landscaping labor with business tasks such as marketing, accounting, or content creation.

The main benefit to a dual role arrangement is the job title and project portfolios you can choose to put on future resumes.
