What you will be doing

Lawn Care and Snow removal can be extremely challenging from a physical, environmental and schedule perspective.
This is not a landscaping or heavy equipment position. This is maintenance work done on residential and commercial lawns and snow removal done on residential sidewalks and driveways.
- During lawn season we typically work Monday-Friday from 7AM to 4PM with a half hour unpaid lunch. If it rains, we’ll occasionally have to work on the weekend to get caught up.
During the winter we work after every single snow fall. Work typically starts at 7AM and may go as late as 8PM.
You will start with orientation and practical training, then you will work alongside an experienced operator until you have a demonstrated understanding of company and client expectations, safe and efficient operations, and customer service.
Different seasons will require a different set of tools and skills. You will be expected to recognize which tools are going to work best, and expertly use them to leave a quality finish.
Once you’re fully trained, we will integrate you into a dedicated crew for a set of properties. You must ensure our standards are met at each property while remaining safe.
We are currently seeking full time lawn care operators and temporary labourers for April and May.
