Landscape Maintenance Technician

Immediate Start

Looking for more than just a seasonal job? Find a place to GROW.

Snips Landscape is looking for a Landscape Maintenance Technician to join our team immediately.

Whether you're experienced in professional landscape maintenance or you're newer to the industry and ready to learn, we're interested in people who bring the right attitude, work ethic and desire to grow.

You don't need to know everything on Day 1. You do need to want to learn.

This is currently a seasonal position with an immediate start through approximately late November/early December, weather dependent. There are opportunities for winter snow removal work, and strong team members may have the opportunity to return next season and continue progressing within Snips.

A Place to GROW

Snips Landscape has been serving the Niagara Region since 1979. We're an established landscape company, but we're always working to improve how we train, communicate and develop our people.

We believe good employees deserve more than being handed a trimmer and told to figure it out.

Our team members have access to:

- Structured training through Greenius
- Safety training
- Coaching and team meetings
- A defined career progression pathway
- Opportunities to develop additional landscape skills
- Employee recognition and rewards
- Team events
- Company uniforms
- Opportunities for winter snow removal work

If you want to learn, take on more responsibility and develop your skills, there is room to grow here.

What You'll Be Doing

Approximately 90% of this position is skilled lawn maintenance, including:

- Operating commercial zero-turn and walk-behind mowers
- String trimming and edging
- Backpack blowing and property cleanup
- Maintaining a clean, professional finish on residential and commercial properties

Depending on the season and schedule, you'll also have opportunities to assist with:

- Garden maintenance and weeding
- Pruning
- Fall cleanups
- Planting and mulching
- Small landscape enhancements
- Property detailing
- Parking lot sweeping and seasonal property cleanup





Who We're Looking For

Experience is valuable, but attitude, reliability and willingness to learn matter just as much.

You'll fit well on our team if you:

- Show up ready to work and on time
- Work with a sense of urgency without needing someone to constantly push you
- Have a positive attitude
- Care about the quality of the finished property
- Want to learn and improve
- Take direction and communicate when something doesn't look right
- Notice problems and ask questions rather than simply ignoring them
- Work well as part of a team

Your team counts on you.

We're looking for someone who shows up ready to work, on time, and can be counted on day after day.

- Commercial walk-behind mowers
- String trimmers and edgers
- Backpack blowers
- Truck and trailer operation

Monday–Friday
Approximately 40–50 hours per week
Typical days run approximately 7:00 a.m. to 5:00–6:00 p.m.
