About the Role
Agronomy Manager – Commercial Landscape
Texscape Services | Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
Texscape Services is looking for a hands-on Agronomy Manager to own our fertility and weed-control program across our commercial portfolio. This is a working manager role: you'll build routes, run the spray program, diagnose turf and ornamental problems, and turn what you see on property into enhancement sales. If you get excited about soil tests, pre-emergent timing, and nailing a calibration, we want to talk to you.
What You'll Do
• Program & Scheduling: Build and manage annual agronomic calendars and routes: fertilization, pre-emergent, post-emergent, insect/disease apps
• Field Agronomy: Scout properties, diagnose turf/ornamental issues (weeds, disease, insects, irrigation, soil)
• Communication: Report agronomic issues to Area Managers with clear recommendations and photos
• Enhancement Sales: Identify upsell opportunities, price proposals, and route them to the correct Area Manager
• Equipment: Calibrate spray rigs, backpacks, and spreaders, and verify application accuracy
• Chemical Math: Calculate mix rates, tank loads, product needs, and inventory ordering
• Compliance: Complete TDA application records, maintain SDS/labels, and ensure licensing and technician supervision compliance
• Team: Train and supervise spray techs on safety, calibration, and application quality
You Might Be Our Person If…
• You've pulled over to look at someone else's lawn and diagnosed it from the truck
• You read product labels for fun and have opinions about the fine print
• You get excited about soil test results
• You have a favorite nozzle, and you can explain why
• You keep your own turf test plot at home
• You can tell dallisgrass from crabgrass at 20 feet
• You constantly check soil temps to time your pre-emergent
Compensation & Benefits
• $70,000 – $80,000 per year, depending on experience
• Company truck
• Company phone
• Laptop
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Two weeks paid time off
• CEU reimbursement
