About ClearWorks

ClearWorks is an all-season commercial services company with major winter maintenance operations across Southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area. During the winter we perform snow plowing, salting, and grounds maintenance for municipal, construction, and commercial sites. Our clients depend on their sites being open, protected, and presentable when the weather turns, and we take that seriously. Our growing team values reliability, attention to detail, and work you can be proud of.

The Role

As a Winter Plow Operator (Crew Lead), you'll run a two-person crew (you and one Operator) and be accountable for how that crew performs. You'll respond to callouts, assemble your team, keep the work compliant and high quality, and be the day-to-day contact for clients on site. You'll also be hands-on: plowing, salting, and clearing alongside your Operator, servicing numerous sites within your shift. In most cases the plow vehicle will live with you.

You'll report to our General Manager and operations team, and you're our eyes and ears in the field. We rely on you to flag what's working, what isn't, and what your crew needs.
