Haliscape Construction is a locally owned landscape and construction company based in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). We're looking for dependable, hardworking individuals to join our crew for year-round outdoor work.

From spring through fall, you'll help complete landscaping and construction projects - grading soil, laying sod, planting trees and shrubs, and building patios, walkways, and retaining walls.

• Participate in on-call snow removal operations during winter (shoveling, salting, clearing snow)
• Work flexible hours during snow events (early mornings, evenings, weekends as needed)

• Minimum 1 season of landscaping, construction, or outdoor labor experience preferred
• Valid driver's license and personal vehicle required - job sites are not bus or transit accessible, and on-call winter shifts may require travel at any time
• Physically capable of lifting, digging, and working in all weather conditions
• Dependable, safety-conscious, and team-oriented
