• Equipment Mastery: Safely operate and oversee the use of power tools and light equipment, ensuring daily inspections are completed and tools are secured at the end of the day.

• Safety Advocacy: Model a proactive safety culture by participating in hazard assessments (FLHAs) and ensuring all crew members are utilizing proper PPE and following OHS protocols.

• Winter Versatility: Transition to our snow and ice management operations from November through April, maintaining a flexible schedule to ensure our clients' properties remain safe during major weather events.

To truly thrive in this role, you’ll need a solid foundation of skills and the right mindset:

• Knowledge: Working knowledge of grading, drainage, and multi-scope installation (hardscape/softscape); strong understanding of OHS requirements and safe construction practices.

• Skills: Ability to read and interpret site drawings; proficiency with digital field tools (e.g., Aspire, SiteDocs); expertise in operating small equipment like plate compactors and cut-off saws.
