Playground Installation + Construction Foreman

Full-Time

Elmira, Ontario (home base)

Who are we?

Our company, Earthscape is recognized as an award-winning design-build firm that specializes in custom playgrounds and high-end residential landscaping. Our main office, fabrication shop and yard are located just outside of Elmira, Ontario in Waterloo Region; a second office/yard is located in Toronto.

We are a group of young, ambitious, creative dreamers and builders who work hard and are exceptionally proud of what we design and create. Our project managers aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and our installation crews know that we trust, and highly-value, their work. It makes for an environment that is extremely positive, productive, fun and rewarding, though admittedly, a bit stressful at times.

What do we need?

As our list of projects continues to grow, we are looking for another playground installation / construction foreman to be based out of Elmira, Ontario, with the potential for travel around North America for playground installations.

A bit about our playgrounds – they are probably not what you might expect – these are epic play spaces built for a variety of clients from cities to schools to non-profit organizations. This definitely isn’t your typical landscape construction job. Before you apply, you MUST check out www.earthscapeplay.com to see what you would be installing/creating.

Now, who are we looking for?

Ideally…you…

  • have more than five years of landscaping or construction experience;
  • can effectively lead a crew of lead hands and labourers to install play spaces across Ontario;
  • are willing to travel for a week or two (2-3 times/year) to installation sites (normally in major cities) across Canada/US;
  • are looking for something new, exciting and creative to be a part of; you must have an imagination and great problem solving skills;
  • recognize the importance of building to high quality standards – we always aim to do a job exceptionally well the first time;
  • want to be proud of your employer and work for a highly regarded industry-recognized leader;
  • are an excellent communicator; capable of being responsible, timely and thorough in coordinating schedules and timetables with subcontractors, material suppliers, staff and the client;
  • create and encourage a safe work environment for your colleagues;
  • can read and interpret scaled drawings and pay attention to all the details that make our playgrounds exceptional places for kids to play;
  • are comfortable operating all types of machinery and have a minimum G license (and preferably Class A restricted).

At Earthscape, education is valued but your experience, attitude, work-ethic and leadership count most.

What’s in it for you?

This job offers the opportunity to work on some of North America’s most interesting playground projects. The pace, challenges and problem-solving opportunities mean you will never be bored. You will have the opportunity to develop and refine a wide variety of skills in our rapidly growing business.
