Lumen Landscaping | Hamilton, ON | Full Time, Seasonal | $30 to $36 per hour, $50,000 to $60,000 per season

About Lumen Landscaping

Lumen Landscaping is a hardscape and landscape construction company based on the Hamilton Mountain. We build interlock driveways and patios, segmental retaining walls, decks, garden beds, sod, and full plant installations for residential clients across Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas, and Burlington. Our crews are small, the work is hands on, and the quality of the finished product is what keeps our referrals coming.

The Role

We are hiring a Foreman to run jobs from layout through final cleanup. You are the person on site who owns the build: setting grades and elevations, directing the crew, keeping the schedule tight, and making sure the finished product is something the client is glad they paid for. This is a leadership role for someone who still likes being on the tools.

The balance of this season, roughly the next two months, will be spent training and learning how we build. Work then pauses for the winter and picks back up at the end of March or the beginning of April, when you step into the foreman position full time.

What You Will Be Doing

- Interpret site plans, grading plans, and material lists before work begins
- Set out layout, string lines, elevations, and finished grades
- Run and supervise excavation, base preparation, compaction, and screeding
- Install interlock, natural stone, segmental retaining walls, steps, and edge restraint
- Build decks, garden beds, and complete sod and plant installations
- Operate a mini skid steer, plate compactor,



saws, and related equipment safely
- Coordinate concrete subcontractors and material deliveries so the crew is never standing around
- Handle daily material take offs and call in orders as needed
- Direct a small crew, keep everyone productive, and train less experienced hands
- Maintain a clean, organized, safe site and enforce PPE and secure work procedures
- Report to the owner daily on progress, site conditions, and any changes
- Represent the company professionally in front of homeowners

What We Are Looking For

- Minimum one year in hardscape or landscape construction
- Leadership qualities, someone who can take charge of a site and keep a crew moving
- Eager and ambitious, with the drive to grow into running your own jobs
- Working knowledge of base preparation, drainage, compaction, and correct installation of interlock and segmental retaining walls
- Comfortable operating a mini skid steer and compaction equipment
- Valid G licence with a clean driving record, and confident towing a loaded trailer
- Able to lift heavy materials repeatedly and work outdoors in all weather
- Reliable, punctual, and able to run a full day without being managed
- Legally entitled to work in Canada
