Lead a landscape-construction crew on residential design/build and commercial properties across Central Ohio.

  • Build hardscape and structures called for on the plans: patios, walls, steps, and outdoor structures
  • Run a daily quality walk before the crew leaves the site
  • Complete daily timesheets, field reports, and required photos
  • Keep equipment checked, greased, fueled, and loaded for the next day
  • Communicate clearly with the office, the client on site, and the crew
  • Train crew members on the work and equipment they are assigned

What It Takes

  • 3+ years of field landscape construction experience, or a horticulture/landscape degree with crew time
  • Working knowledge of plant, landscape, and hardscape materials
  • Able to read landscape construction drawings
  • Valid driver's license; able to drive medium-duty trucks with a trailer
  • Comfortable running equipment: skid loader, mini-excavator, saws, tampers
