About the role

Summit Property Group is hiring a Snow Removal Tractor Operator in Orillia for the [2026–2027] winter season. You'll run a tractor with a front-mounted snow blade and a rear-mounted snow blower to transparent commercial lots on an assigned route.

This is an on-call, weather-driven role: when snow hits, you roll out — often overnight, early mornings, weekends and holidays. Experience on a skid steer or wheel loader is a strong asset.

Key responsibilities

- Operate a tractor with a front snow blade and rear snow blower to clear commercial parking lots, entrances, drive aisles and loading areas
- Use the blower to throw snow clear of tight areas, clear windrows and banks, and keep snow off buildings, vehicles and landscaping
- Do manual shovelling and hand salting where needed, such as walkways, steps, entrances and around obstacles the equipment can't reach
- Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections, including the PTO, hydraulics, blade, blower and shear bolts
- Keep accurate logs of service times and site conditions, on paper or by app/GPS
- Watch for hazards such as curbs, islands, parked cars, pedestrians and drainage, and report any property damage right away
- Return for re-clearing as storms continue, and do clean-up passes after the storm ends
- Keep the tractor and attachments clean, greased and in working order
- Communicate with the dispatcher or supervisor about route progress, delays and equipment issues

Requirements





- Valid Ontario Class G licence (full G, not G1 or G2)
- Clean driver's abstract, provided with your application
- At least [1–2] winter seasons running a tractor with a snow blade and/or blower
- Available on-call 24/7 through the season, including nights, weekends and holidays
- Able to work long shifts (often 12+ hours during storms) in cold, low-visibility conditions
- Comfortable doing basic equipment checks: fluids, hydraulics, PTO, lights, blade and blower
- Reliable transportation to the yard, often on short notice
- Able to lift up to 50 lb and climb in and out of equipment repeatedly, and do manual shovelling for extended periods
- Positive knowledge of Orillia roads, or willingness to learn routes before the season

Assets (bonus skills)

These aren't required, but candidates with them will be prioritized.

- Skid steer experience with a bucket, pusher box or snow blower attachment, for tight areas, sidewalks, entrances and stacking snow
- Wheel loader experience for large lots, snow pushing, stacking and piling, and loading trucks for snow haul-away
- Experience with GPS or route-tracking apps for logging services
- Valid WHMIS training and/or an equipment operator certificate
- Basic mechanical skills for minor repairs in the field, like replacing shear bolts

Pay: $25.00-$30.00 per hour

Expected hours: 10.0 – 50.0 per week

Work Location: On the road
