About Us 

At Green View, we’re more than just a landscaping company—we’re a trusted partner for outdoor excellence across Central Illinois. For over 70 years, we’ve built our reputation on quality, follow-through, and results that speak for themselves.

What You’ll Do 

As a Grounds Maintenance Account Manager, you’ll own a book of business and the outcomes behind it: budgeting, sales, job management, quality, and retention across mowing, bed maintenance, enhancements, irrigation, turf, and plant healthcare. 

• Set yearly budgets: collaborate with the Division Director to set ambitious but attainable goals, based on historical data and a strategic approach to growth. 

• Be part of the community: actively represent Green View through involvement in non-profits and community organizations that are aligned with Green View’s core values, where you’ll build and maintain lasting relationships with community leaders, trade partners and potential future customers. 

• Drive sales: prospect, qualify, estimate, and close maintenance contracts and seasonal add-ons; renew recurring contracts each year; generate enhancement upsells from site walks; take part in ongoing sales and communication training to further develop your skills 

• Lead operations: plan weekly schedules and optimize routes, align labor and materials, and make field adjustments to hit deadlines and quality standards. 

• Support clients: serve as primary contact; conduct site walks; present proposals; resolve issues quickly; ensure payments are promptly collected; protect margin and relationships. 

• Develop teams: coach crew leaders; set expectations; lead weekly team meetings; run quality audits and tailgate talks; reinforce safety and workmanship. 

• Manage to numbers: track on-site %, hours vs. estimated, callbacks, incidents, and gross margin; take corrective action when indicators slip. 

• Coordinate resources: partner with Inventory/Shop on materials and equipment readiness; align with Office/Admin on invoicing accuracy. 

• Winter operations: plan and execute snow program (routes, callouts, vendor coordination) for your accounts.
