Landscape Construction Lead Hand
Hardscape Ottawa — Ottawa, ON
$25–$35/hr depending on experience
We build high-end outdoor living projects across Ottawa — patios, retaining walls, drainage systems, and full backyard transformations.
We’re looking for a Lead Hand who can run equipment, support the foreman, and keep jobs moving efficiently.
This is the role between installer and foreman.
You’re not just pushing a wheelbarrow — you’re helping run the job.
What you'll be doing
You’ll work directly with the foreman and crew to execute projects properly and keep the site running smoothly.
Typical responsibilities include:
- Operating skid steers, mini excavators, and compact equipment
- Operating trucks and trailers
- Assisting with layout, base prep, and installation
- Running trucks and moving materials between sites
- Keeping the crew productive and organized
- Training newer labourers on proper techniques
- Solving problems on site
You’re someone the foreman can rely on to make the day run smoothly.
The type of person we’re looking for
You probably already:
- Have several years of construction or landscape installation experience
- Can operate equipment confidently
- Understand proper base prep and grading
- Work hard without needing constant direction
- Take pride in clean, high-quality work
You’re comfortable being the guy others ask questions to on site.
What we build
Our crews focus on quality installations, not rushed volume work.
Projects typically include:
- Interlock patios and driveways
- Retaining walls
- Fiberglass Pools
- Artificial turf
- Fire Features
- Outdoor Kitchens
You’ll be installing work that families will make memories with for the next 30+ years.
Pay & schedule
- $28–$35 per hour depending on experience

- Opportunity to grow into Foreman or Project Lead roles
We run multiple crews across Ottawa, and strong people move up quickly.
Requirements
- Experience in landscape construction or similar field
- Ability to operate compact equipment
- Valid driver's licence (experience driving trucks and trailers is a must)
- Physically capable of working outdoors daily
- Reliable and professional attitude
