Landscape Apprentice

AMS Landscaping is hiring a landscape apprentice in Phoenix. The position is designed for someone who wants structured exposure to recurring landscape maintenance, irrigation, cleanup, and tree and plant care while working beside experienced crew members. AMS emphasizes a family-first culture and says its crews are closed on weekends. A successful apprentice will bring reliability and curiosity, then build speed only after learning safe, repeatable methods. What you will do • Assist experienced employees with lawn, plant, tree, bed, irrigation, and seasonal-cleanup tasks. • Learn the safe use, inspection, cleaning, and storage of assigned landscape hand tools and powered equipment. • Help load materials and equipment and keep the truck, trailer, work area, and customer property orderly. • Follow instructions for plant handling, pruning, irrigation checks, debris removal, and finished detail. • Ask questions about unfamiliar plants, tools, or site conditions before proceeding. • Apply coaching consistently and build toward more independent responsibility as skills are demonstrated. How the work fits together An apprentice works within the crew's normal route and project schedule. The lead explains the task, demonstrates the standard, and checks the early result before the apprentice repeats it. Daily learning includes why the work is timed and sequenced a certain way, not only how to move quickly. At each site, the apprentice supports setup, production, inspection, cleanup, and secure loading so the whole crew can move efficiently without sacrificing plant or property care. What the employer is looking for • Interest in learning professional landscape maintenance and plant care through hands-on work. • Dependable weekday attendance and ability to work cooperatively within a family-first team culture. • Readiness for physical outdoor work and commitment to safety around tools, equipment, traffic, and customers. • Prior yard, gardening, nursery, farm, construction, or other outdoor experience is useful and should be included, but the apprentice title indicates a learning role. Schedule, conditions, and compensation AMS lists Landscape Apprentice as a current application choice and says it is closed on weekends. The employer does not publish a wage, daily hours, benefits, or apprenticeship duration, so none have been inferred. Candidates should confirm weekday start times, weekly hours, overtime, starting pay, training milestones, transportation, tools and clothing, benefit eligibility, and whether the position is year-round. This is an in-person horticulture and outdoor position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer. Only compensation and benefits expressly published by the employer are included here; unpublished terms have not been estimated.
