Landscape Enhancement Crew Lead

**Enhancement Foreman - V.I.L. Landscaping (Oakville, ON)**

**Full-time | + performance bonuses | Growth-minded culture | Career path to Project Manager**

**About V.I.L. Landscaping**

V.I.L. Landscaping is one of the GTA’s fastest-growing landscape design-build companies — building **world-class outdoor spaces** across Oakville, Burlington, and the west GTA.
We’re not a “mow and go” company. We design, build, and maintain **high-end, six-figure landscapes** that demand precision, pride, and professionalism.

Our **Enhancement Division** is where craftsmanship meets speed — we handle all the small-to-mid-size upgrades that keep our clients’ properties at that _world-class_ standard year-round.

If you’re a versatile leader who can move fast, manage chaos, and deliver beautiful results — this is your arena.

**About the Role**

The **Enhancement Foreman** runs multiple small, high-value jobs each week — from garden makeovers to patio extensions, lighting, cleanups, and seasonal upgrades.
You’ll lead a small crew (1-3 team members), manage your own truck and trailer, and take full ownership for **delivering quality, efficiency, and profitability** on every project.

This is not a “laborer” role. It’s a **mini-project manager position** for someone who’s hands-on, organized, and hungry to grow.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Project Execution**
- Complete enhancement and light construction jobs ($2K-$25K range) including:

- Fall & spring cleanups, mulch and planting installs
- Garden and lawn renovations
- Light interlock work: curbing, walkways, coping, extensions
- Small carpentry: framing, skirting, planters, pergolas
- Lighting, edging, and softscape finishing work

**Crew & Workflow Management**
- Plan and execute daily workflows — labor, material, and equipment
- Manage crew assignments, load-outs, and jobsite efficiency
- Coordinate material deliveries and dumps with yard and office
- Track estimated vs. actual hours; hit job targets consistently

**Quality & Brand Standards**
- Keep all job sites spotless — no debris, tools, or clutter left behind
- Ensure trucks, trailers, and equipment represent the **V.I.L. standard**:

- Communicate clearly with clients, office, and field support
- Submit daily forms, photos, and job completion updates

**What World-Class Looks Like**

You
- Thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments
- Can lay pavers _and_ plant trees — and love both
- Know how to manage moving parts without losing your cool
- See problems before they happen — and fix them without being asked
- Respect materials, hours, and client experience like cash
- Lead from the front and bring energy to your crew every day

**Skills & Experience**
- 3+ years in landscaping, construction, or enhancement work
- Strong understanding of both hardscape and softscape techniques
- Skilled with skid steers, plate compactors, saws, and trailers
- Confident driving a truck + dump trailer
- Valid G license with clean abstract (D license an asset)
- Comfortable reading scopes, sketches, or plans
- Excellent communication and leadership skills
- Physically fit and willing to work outdoors in all weather

**Compensation & Growth**
- **Hourly Wage**: $27-$35/hr based on experience
- **Bonus**: up to 10% of gross profit per job based on performance
- **Overtime Pay** and Year-End Bonus potential
- **Full-time, year-round work** (landscaping + snow operations)
- Pathway to **Project Manager** or **Division Lead** roles
- Access to training through **Mark Bradley’s Leanscaper Method**, **Paver Pete**, and in-house V.I.L. University
