Build More Than Landscapes. Build a Career.

Our client is a dynamic, family-oriented company with a strong commitment to its employees. With an excellent reputation and a positive, team-focused culture, they are growing and looking for people who want more than just a job. They are building careers.

At the heart of their culture are their SHARING values:

Safety. Humility. Accountability. Respect. Integrity. Nurturing. Growth.

If you take pride in creating exceptional outdoor spaces, leading by example, and being part of a company that values its people as much as its performance, this opportunity is for you.

Position Summary

As an Crew Leader, you will oversee the execution of landscape enhancement and hardscape projects from start to finish. You will lead a crew, coordinate materials and equipment, and ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

This is a hands-on leadership role that combines technical expertise, project coordination, and team development. You'll play a key role in delivering exceptional results while fostering a positive and productive work environment.

What You'll Do

• Lead and supervise a crew of 4–5 team members on enhancement and hardscape projects
• Operate heavy equipment, including mini excavators, skid steers, and loaders
• Plan daily work activities and manage crew schedules
• Coordinate materials, equipment, and job site logistics
• Ensure projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget
• Complete daily logs and safety documentation, including JSAs and Toolbox Talks
• Utilize Interloc and SiteDocs to manage work orders, document safety activities, track equipment, and maintain accurate project records
• Maintain tools, equipment, and job site safety standards
• Troubleshoot challenges and resolve issues in the field
• Ensure projects align with design specifications, zoning requirements, and company standards
• Train, mentor, and support new and returning team members
• Communicate project progress, safety concerns, and operational updates to management
• Support winter operations and assist with seasonal duties during the off-season
• Occasionally troubleshoot technology issues, because every Crew Leader eventually becomes part supervisor, part mechanic, and part IT support

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of landscaping, enhancement, or property maintenance experience
• Minimum 1 year of crew leadership or supervisory experience
• Experience operating landscaping and construction equipment
• Knowledge of hardscape installation techniques and landscape construction practices
• Valid driver's license with a clean abstract
• Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills
• Ability to prioritize tasks and adapt in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions
• Ability to lift up to 70 lbs and perform physically demanding work
• Experience with Interloc, SiteDocs, or similar field management and maintenance platforms is considered an asset
• Comfortable using mobile apps and technology (if you can figure out why your phone isn't connecting to Bluetooth, you're already ahead of the game)

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Company vehicle provided
• Consistent, year-round employment with winter transition opportunities
• Competitive compensation
• Training and professional development opportunities
• Opportunities for growth and advancement
• Supportive, family-oriented team environment
• A company culture built on safety, respect, and investing in its people

If you're ready to lead projects, build exceptional outdoor spaces, and work with a team that believes in working hard, having fun, and occasionally pretending to know why the printer isn't working, we'd love to hear from you.
