Landscape Gardener

About the Role

We're a small environmentally-focused landscape gardening company based in East Vancouver looking for someone who can help us 2-4 days a week from 7:30-4 Monday to Thursday. During the busy season (April to June) more days are available to those with sufficient experience.

We use battery-powered maintenance equipment to promote a cleaner, more peaceful landscaping experience for staff and customers.

The most important things are to be communicative, self-directive, use good judgment, and have strong interpersonal skills because you will be working with other staff and interacting with clients on a regular basis.

If you're closer to entry level, the wage would start at or closer to $22 an hour and you'll be given raises as you grow in knowledge and skills. If you're very experienced, your wage will be at or closer to $30 an hour.

Cost-shared benefits are available for those working 3+ days.

• Good judgment, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• An ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Good physical stamina and an ability to lift a minimum of 50 lbs. repeatedly through an entire work shift.
• An ability to work with hand tools, small engine equipment, and materials.
• An ability to follow verbal and written instructions.
• Plant knowledge or a strong commitment to learning, and a keen interest in landscape gardening is important.
• A driver's license is an asset but not essential.
• A positive attitude is a must.
• Decent strength and physical fitness is also important given the nature of the work.

• We do a lot of different things so there's quite a bit of variety to our days.
• Sometimes we're weeding or mulching, other times we're doing garden installations or renovations.
• Pruning, raking, debris removal, etc.

We support and encourage workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion through our hiring practices and workplace culture. People of colour, Indigenous people, queer, trans, and non-binary folks, are all encouraged to apply.
