Scot Eckley Inc. is a high-end landscape design-build firm in Seattle creating refined outdoor living spaces for great clients. We would love to talk with you if you are ready to lead construction operations, run detailed residential landscape projects, and develop strong build teams. This role blends project management, operations leadership, and people development, with real ownership and the opportunity to help shape how our construction department operates.

The Role
We are currently seeking a Landscape Project Manager-Construction Operations. This position has three core responsibilities:

Construction Operations
You lead operations for our construction division. You coordinate the overall construction schedule across three crews. You work with our other Project Manager and Estimator to ensure seamless handoffs between design, estimating, and build. You’re accountable for hitting monthly construction revenue targets and maintaining operational consistency across all projects.

You’ll also join SEI’s Operations and Financial Forecasting Team working alongside other managers and key team members to share insights, coordinate resources, and help the whole company move forward together.

Project Management
You serve as the dedicated Project Manager for one construction crew, owning scope, budget, schedule, quality, and client communication for assigned projects. You maintain a current 10-day rolling schedule. You coordinate design, estimating, subcontractors, vendors, permits, and materials to keep production efficient. You solve problems before they become delays or cost overruns.

Team Development & Leadership
You own the people side of construction. You’re responsible for hiring, onboarding, training, and crew development. You conduct performance check-ins with Build Team Leaders. You manage safety training and follow-up. You’re growing a stronger team, developing crew skills at every level and coaching the people who are ready for leadership.

What We’re Looking For
Strong landscape construction experience. You can read plans, anticipate sequencing issues, and deliver high-end residential projects. Clear communicator with clients, build team leaders, subcontractors, and internal teams. Genuinely interested in developing people and building team capability, not just checking boxes.
