Opportunity for advancement and increased pay based on performance

OTC Landscaping is hiring an experienced Lawn Maintenance Crew Lead for a long-term position. We are looking for a reliable, accountable professional who takes pride in quality work, efficiency, and equipment care.

This is not a short-term position. We are building a strong team and expect professionalism, consistency, and strong attendance.

Position Overview

The successful candidate must have their own reliable vehicle to transport themselves to and from our Barrie yard daily.

You will drive a company pickup truck and trailer to scheduled residential properties and complete lawn maintenance routes to company standards.

You are primarily responsible for lawn cutting. This position is not limited to operating a ride-on mower — the role requires operating self-propelled push mowers as well. The Crew Lead must be prepared for physically active outdoor work throughout the day.

While a second team member handles most trimming, the Crew Lead is expected to trim, weed gardens, and operate a backpack blower as necessary to ensure properties are completed properly.

This role includes participation in spring cleanups in April and fall cleanups in November, with prospect for winter maintenance work for the right candidate.

- Complete routes efficiently and to quality standards
- Complete daily 360° safety inspections and log book checklists
- Maintain equipment (blade sharpening, cleaning, routine upkeep)
- Assist with minor equipment repairs (training provided)
- Maintain clean, professional job sites at all times
