Nursery Yard Manager

A BIT ABOUT YOU

You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for the natural world. Outgoing, confident, and people-oriented, you have an innate ability to lead the conversation and help others find effective, exciting solutions. When interacting with the team, you’re insightful, engaging, and always a positive voice to rely on. You prefer objective-based work with a defined goal in sight, but when faced with the unexpected, you have a remarkable ability to adapt and make quick decisions to identify solutions. You’re continually looking for new ways to improve what you’re doing, especially when it helps you and your team better meet your shared goals. And you’re at the point in your career where you want to build something – at a place where you’re excited to make a difference.

A BIT ABOUT US

We like plants, people, and beautiful spaces. John Mulhall came to Omaha in 1953 to landscape, and now, three generations later, we’re as committed as we’ve ever been to making Omaha a more beautiful place to live. Today we’re a team of a few hundred people, but our focus remains the same: working together to engage our community and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world. And we have fun doing it.
