Qualifications

This is an experienced leadership position. We are looking for someone who can take responsibility for both their own work and the performance of the crew they are leading as well as working with all the staff and management.

Required:

- Previous experience leading or supervising a crew
- Previous commercial sidewalk snow removal experience
- Experience using walk-behind and hand-operated snow removal equipment such as power brooms, snow blowers and backpack blowers
- Comfortable performing physically demanding snow removal by hand, including shovelling and ice removal

- Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic
- Ability to work independently and make good decisions in the field
- Ability to perform physically demanding outdoor work for full shifts in changing weather conditions
- Reliable transportation to and from work

Previous commercial landscape maintenance experience is strongly preferred.

Please note: Our snow removal work is focused on sidewalks and pedestrian areas using hand tools and walk-behind equipment. This is not a heavy-equipment operator position. We do not use skid steers, Bobcats, loaders or similar large equipment for this role.

Winter Schedule & Guaranteed Hours

A minimum of 30 paid hours per week is guaranteed during the winter season.

Availability for every snowfall is required.



Reliability during snow events is extremely important to this position.

Snow shifts typically begin at approximately 9:00 AM, depending on the timing of snowfall and site conditions. There is no set end time on snow days. Shifts continue until assigned properties are completed and may be long depending on snowfall, ice and weather conditions.

When snowfall does not provide 30 hours of work, remaining guaranteed hours may include ice checks, sanding, filling sand bins, equipment and vehicle maintenance, shop organization, training, site inspections and other company duties.

Applicants must understand that while a minimum of 30 hours is guaranteed, actual hours during snow events may be considerably higher depending on weather conditions.

Summer Schedule

During the landscape maintenance season, this is a full-time seasonal position, generally Monday through Friday.

Occasional weekend work may be required during peak periods or to make up for weather-related delays.

Our summer work includes regular commercial and multi-family property maintenance including mowing, trimming, edging, hedge trimming, weeding, cleanup and related property maintenance.

The Person We're Looking For

We don't expect someone to know our properties, routes or procedures on their first day. We will train the successful candidate on how Solstice operates.

We do need someone who already knows how to lead people, operate equipment and take responsibility in the field.

We're looking for someone who is dependable, level-headed and confident. Someone who can solve everyday problems, recognize when they need to ask a question, help newer employees improve and keep a crew moving while maintaining a high standard of work.

This is not a position where the supervisor watches everyone else work. Our crew leaders work alongside their crews and lead by example.

For the right person, this has the potential to become an key long-term role within Solstice Landscape Maintenance.

Pay: $26.00-$30.00 per hour
