Landscape Construction Labourer

Ground Force Contracting — Edmonton, AB

Ground Force Contracting is a growing landscaping and site development company based in Edmonton. We take pride in doing quality work, working hard, and having a crew that can be counted on.

We are looking for a Landscape Construction Labourer who is dependable, willing to work, and actually wants to learn the trade.

The Job

You will work as part of a crew completing residential and commercial landscaping and construction projects.

Typical work includes

- Dirt work and grading
- Sod installation
- Rock and mulch installation
- Planting shrubs and trees
- Building pathways and other hardscape features
- Retaining walls
- Fence construction
- Loading and unloading materials
- Operating hand tools and landscaping equipment
- General site cleanup and organization
- Assisting operators and experienced crew members as required

This is physical outdoor work. You will be on your feet, lifting materials, moving dirt, working with tools, and working in all types of Alberta weather.

What We Are Looking For

Experience in landscaping, construction, excavation, fencing, concrete, farming, or other physical trades is an asset, but we are willing to train the right person.

More important than having a perfect résumé:

- You show up on time
- You show up consistently
- You are willing to work
- You listen and learn
- You can take direction without needing to be chased
- You care about doing the job properly
- You work well with a crew
- You are comfortable doing physical work
- You take care of tools, equipment and company property
- You can handle being told when something needs to be done differently

If you don't know how to do something, that's okay. We can teach you. What we cannot teach is work ethic, reliability, and whether you actually want to be here.

Who This Job Is NOT For

We are being upfront because we would rather save everyone's time.

This is probably not the job for you if:





- You regularly call in or don't show up
- You expect to be told what to do every five minutes
- You don't like physical work
- You don't want to work outside
- You have a problem taking direction
- You exaggerate your experience
- You are looking for a job you can disappear from after a few weeks

We have plenty of work for people who want it.

What We Offer

- Competitive wages based on experience and ability
- On-the-job training
- Opportunity to learn landscaping and construction skills
- Opportunities for advancement
- Consistent seasonal work
- Potential for year-round employment for the right individual
- A professional but laid-back work workplace
- A crew that works hard and has a sense of humour

Seasonal For the right person, there is also potential for longer-term or year-round employment.

Before You Apply

Please be honest about your experience.

If your résumé says you have landscaping or construction experience, be prepared to actually perform the work you say you know how to do.

We are much more interested in someone who says:

“I haven't done that before, but I'm willing to learn.”

than someone who says they can do everything and then can't.

We are looking for people who want to become valuable members of the Ground Force team.

How to Apply

Tell us what you have actually done.

If you have experience with landscaping, construction, excavation, skid steers, fencing, concrete, farming, or other hands-on work, tell us about it.

If you don't have much experience, tell us what you have done and why you think you'd be a good fit.

We conduct a short initial phone call with applicants and, if it looks like you're a potential fit, we'll get you out to meet the crew and see how you work.

Show up, work hard, learn, and you can build something here.
