Open Positions

Seasonal positions based in North Bay, ON. Work runs spring through late fall. Experience is valued but attitude matters more - we can teach skills, we can't teach reliability.

Seasonal Entry Level

Landscape Labourer

The backbone of every project. You'll be on-site doing the physical work that makes great landscaping happen - digging, compacting, laying stone, moving materials, and keeping the job site clean and organised.

  • Assist with interlock, grading, sodding, fencing, and other installs
  • Move and place materials including aggregate, stone, and sod
  • Operate hand tools and basic power equipment
  • Follow crew lead direction and safety standards
  • Reliable attendance - weather drives the schedule
Seasonal Experienced

Crew Lead

You've been on job sites before and know how to keep a crew moving. As crew lead you'll be responsible for daily project execution, keeping things on schedule, and making sure the quality standard holds from first shovel to final cleanup.

  • Lead a small crew of 2-4 labourers on active job sites
  • Interpret project plans and communicate scope clearly to the team
  • Ensure quality control across all phases of construction
  • Coordinate material deliveries and equipment logistics
  • 3+ years landscaping or construction experience required
Seasonal Skilled Trade

Equipment Operator

We use heavy equipment on grading, drainage, and excavation work. If you know how to operate a skid steer, mini-excavator, or plate compactor safely and efficiently, we want to hear from you. Bonus points for a valid driver's licence and clean abstract.

  • Operate skid steer, mini-excavator, and compaction equipment
  • Grade sites to spec - drainage and slope accuracy matter
  • Perform pre-operation checks and basic equipment maintenance
  • Valid G-class driver's licence an asset
  • Experience with residential landscaping or construction preferred
