That “I just shoveled 7 cubic yards of mulch” look 🤪

My Good Neighbor PDX landscaping is seeking to hire a new crewmember, accommodating a variety of backgrounds and schedules.

We are an ethical landscaping company located in North Portland. We use only eco-friendly, electric tools. No gas, no fumes, no poison, everything is much healthier and easier! We also apprentice young immigrant youth in need of job training. You can see more about us at www.mygoodneighborpdx.com

PAY: $15 - $18 - ideal for someone with a background in manual labor, possesses a clean driving record, and holds a drivers license. Wages will be set based upon experience.

We also regularly distribute tips, give performance bonuses, give profit sharing, and fast food fridays!

SCHEDULE:

Our schedule is flexible, and we are willing to accommodate your schedule. You can potentially work Monday - Friday, or as little as 2/3 days a week. We don't work weekends or holidays (unless you want to). We start typically around 9am and finish around 5pm.

WHAT WE DO:

Anything from mowing, mulching, weeding, general landscaping. Every day is something different, so you can always be learning new skills.

WHAT WE GIVE:

We hope not to have people work for us, but with us. Our leadership style is to empower and train, not to micro-manage and control. We hope to treat all of our co-workers with dignity, honor, and do our best to have fun and keep a positive atmosphere.

We are a young company in our third year. There is potential for increased pay and working together to achieve your career goals. We encourage our staff to work towards starting their own business if that's an ambition, and we make every effort to support your goals. We have previously paid for continuing education in the landscaping field, start up costs for new businesses, etc.

Show up to work on time, carry yourself with respect and professionalism.

Be comfortable working outdoors and in potentially adverse weather (usual summer heat, spring rains, etc).

As we wrap up the season, I’m immensely grateful to our neighbors who’ve hired us this year!

One of the perks of being a MGN client: if we notice your car has a flat tire, we will call you to confirm and fill it up for you if needed! Along with our air compressor for your tires, we carry jumper cables, so if you need basic tire or battery help while we’re at your home, just let us know.
