Whistler

Pika Landscapes has been creating and maintaining beautiful outdoor spaces in Whistler and beyond for more than 20 years.

If you like working outside and getting your hands dirty, we’d like to talk to you.

At this time, we're looking only for people with landscape maintenance experience to work full time until the end of our landscape season (Oct 30/26).

We’re known for

- Open book management: everyone learns about the business's operations, financials, and how individual efforts contribute to the overall success. By working together to meet shared goals, everyone can benefit through quarterly profit-sharing payouts.
- Supporting a great work-life balance in a lifestyle-oriented mountain resort town
- Having fun
- Our new vehicles and equipment
- Cultivating a tight-knit, high performing team
- Having systems in place for much of what we do
- Creating growth opportunities for staff:
- transparent organizational structure
- detailed job descriptions and pay scale for each role
- annual budget allocated to key staff education and training

This is a full-time (~40hr/week, Monday to Friday) seasonal role wrapping at the end of October. Rarely do we ask for overtime. There are too many fun things to do at Whistler to work all the time. -----
