Landscape Construction Workers

LANDSCAPE/CONSTRUCTION CREW LABOURER

Ever wish you could spend your days playing in the dirt and building cool stuff? Maybe you want to put those video game skills to real life use, running some heavy equipment? If this sounds like you then we might have a spot for you on one of our crews.

ABOUT Timberscapes Inc.

It’s become a bit cliché, but let’s be real: A job only feels like a job if it’s boring. So, we do cool stuff too. Post-work barbecues are a must and weekly breakfast meetings are how we fuel up and ensure we’re all on the same page. Enjoying what we do and who we do it with is just as important as getting the job done, right

We will admit that it's not always all fun and games but working outside while enjoying the sun and the fresh air is where you’ll find us Well, at least most of the year, we do enjoy some time off during those winter months. Or, if winter relaxation isn’t your thing, we can always find something to keep you busy.

Timberscapes offers full circle construction site services to our customers when it comes to the land around their home or business. From clearing out trees on a new-build site, to laying the last roll of sod and everything in between, we’ve got them covered. For you that means a lot of opportunities to learn new things and find your groove. Although, we do try to keep everyone in their lane, we also look forward to those all-hands-on deck kinda days when everyone is in one place hammering out the final push on a project. Laughter and tunes have often been heard throughout the neighbourhood.

THE VALUES you’ll need to be in line with: We have 5 that build our foundation

SAFETY: The dangers of our work are plenty, however through thoughtful planning and mitigation these dangers can be minimized. It is our responsibility to prevent injury to ourselves, our customers and those we work alongside at all times. We ensure all our employees are trained to handle all the equipment they use and work in a safe manner.

QUALITY: We strive to always complete things to the best quality standard, within the parameters of the project. If we are not able to produce this quality it is our duty to seek guidance in order to improve. Our clients have trusted us with their projects and they shall receive our best. When we leave a job site, we look back at our work with pride. Clients always comment on our quality of work.

LEAN: At Timberscapes we adhere to the saying “smarter not harder”. Team members shall at all times be striving to produce the most efficient work possible through dynamic organizational practices and stellar time management skills.

GRIT: This is a super important value for us because it is the driver of achievement and success. Grit is independent of, and beyond, what talent and intelligence contribute to our day to day at Timberscapes. Being naturally smart and talented are great things, but to truly do well and thrive, we need the ability to push through and persevere through many aspects of our daily tasks. Without grit, our talents may be nothing more than unmet potential.

LEARN: Much like the trees we care for, from the moment we are put here on earth we begin to grow and to evolve. A hunger to seek knowledge is something that should be engrained in us all and this will fuel our future. The costs of education can be high, however the cost of being uneducated is far greater. Our continuous growth ensures all labour is profitable even if only through the lessons we’ve learned.
