As a paratrooper in the Army’s 82nd Airborne, Robert Munoz understood
very well that details mattered. Overlooking a detail could be
devastating to himself, to his team, and to the mission. After nine
years in the Army, Robert decided to transition to a civilian
career. That transition led him in various directions, from a
lineman to a production manager in the food manufacturing industry.
They were great experiences, but Robert knew his destiny was yet to be
determined, the full use of his best skills yet to be employed. His
happy place would eventually be found as a Commercial Estimator &
Project Manager at Schultz Lawnscapes. Robert joined the company in
May 2022.
As a Commercial Estimator & Project Manager, Robert understands
very well that details matter. In this position, Robert creates
customer proposals for large general contractors in the Hampton Roads
region. When Schultz is awarded a contract, he plans the resources
needed, determines the phasing in of materials during installation,
manages the installation crews, and performs the final inspection.
Robert manages the entire project, from proposal to completion. He is
responsible for quality control at every step. It’s in his skillful
management of details that Robert is able to create positive outcomes
for his team, his customers, and the Schultz Lawnscapes organization.
When asked about his favorite projects thus far, Robert reveals, “I
have a lot of fun working on really big commercial projects. It’s
exciting to see projects from start to finish, manage all of the
moving parts and details, and really use my creativity to make the
best decisions along the way.”
He says the most challenging projects are those at military
installations. There are double and triple security checks for the
Schultz crews, additional quality controls, background checks, and a
bit more paperwork involved.
Robert was born in California, raised in New Mexico, attended college
where he ran Division I cross country and track, joined the Army, and
since then has lived all over the country. He is now happily settled
at Schultz Lawnscapes, and we are happy to have him as a member of the
team! In his spare time, Robert enjoys is spending time with his wife
Stephanie and children Mathew and Brooklyn Grace.
