Landscape Construction Foreman / Crew Leader
We handle the sales, the design and the estimating. You take the approved project, organize the crew, build it, and hand over a finished product you are proud of.
You are on the tools with your crew, not in a truck watching them. Our foreman is usually the main person the customer talks to during construction, so you need to be as good with a homeowner's questions as you are with a laser level.
What you will do
- Read the plan and lay the project out accurately
- Run grading, elevations and base preparation
- Build segmental retaining walls, paver patios, drainage and plantings
- Lead a crew of two to four and keep them moving safely
- Track daily hours and material use on your jobs
- Talk to the homeowner during construction and walk the finished job with them
What we need
- Two or more years running a hardscape or landscape installation crew
- Hands-on experience with segmental retaining walls and paver patios, not just supervising them
- Comfortable on a skid steer and a mini excavator
- Solid on grading, drainage, elevations and base prep
- Valid driver's license, clean driving record, able to pass a background check
- Willing to work alongside the crew in Iowa weather
If you are strong on construction and leadership and rusty on the paperwork, that is fine. We will train the software side.
What a normal week looks like
Monday you plan the week, check materials and lay out the job. Tuesday through Thursday you build. Friday is cleanup, punch list and setting up next week. Hours run about 7 to 5 and we are often off early on Fridays. In winter the work shifts to snow operations, which is where the year-round paycheck comes from.
What you get
- Company vehicle for qualified candidates
- 3% retirement match
- Paid time off
- Well-maintained trucks, trailers and equipment
- Year-round employment
- Room to grow with the company
