About Us We are a busy, growing landscape supply and operations center located just north of Devon, serving commercial and industrial clients across the Greater Edmonton Area.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled, safety-focused Skid Steer Operator who can handle both precision snow clearing and equipment transport.

In this role, you will be responsible for operating skid steers (wheeled and tracked) to push, stack, and load snow on commercial parking lots across Edmonton. You will also be responsible for safely loading, strapping/chaining down, unloading, and towing machine trailers behind company trucks in winter driving conditions.

- Safety & App Tracking: Use a personal smartphone to clock in/out, view digital site maps, perform pre-operational machinery inspections, and complete FLHAs (Field Level Hazard Assessments) via the Connecteam app.
- Daily Maintenance: Conduct daily pre-trip checks on equipment and trailers (greasing grease points, checking hydraulic fluids, lights, electric brakes, and tie-down gear).

What We Are Looking For

- Machine Experience: Minimum 1–2 seasons of proven experience operating skid steers (wheeled/tracked) specifically for commercial snow removal.
- Trailering & Towing Experience: Proven ability and comfort towing, backing up, and maneuvering light-duty commercial truck and trailer combinations on winter roads.
- Equipment Securement: Thorough understanding of proper load securement laws (chaining/strapping equipment safely to trailers).
- Licensing & Abstract: Valid Alberta Class 5 Driver’s License (Class 3 is an asset) with a clean driver’s abstract to satisfy commercial auto insurance requirements.
- Reliability & Transport:



Must have dependable personal transportation to get to our shop/yard north of Devon early in the morning during severe winter storms.
- Smartphone & Tech Literacy: Working smartphone with active mobile data to use the Connecteam app for site maps, time tracking, and digital FLHAs.
