About the role

Harvard University Central Administration is seeking a skilled landscape technician to perform all aspects of landscape maintenance and arboriculture across campus, including tree work, turf care, pruning, and irrigation upkeep. You will interpret soil analyses, manage composting operations, support sustainability goals, and collaborate with a team to deliver high-quality maintenance while meeting safety and licensing requirements.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
