It’s not every day you come across an opportunity to work with a company you can feel good about – in a rewarding environment, working towards a clear and exciting vision, as part of an optimistic, hardworking, and high performing team.

Hutten & Co. is looking for a skilled Horticulturist with at least 5 years of private residential maintenance experience or 3 years of experience with a diploma or certificate in Horticulture, and a desire to grow within an evolving department. Does this sound like you?

As a Property Care Crew Leader, beyond your love of plants, you enjoy taking on the challenge of meeting the job targets – from quality standards to hitting the estimated hours and job costs. You’re a seasoned gardener and are confident mentoring others, providing the necessary training and feedback for success!

From creative craftsmanship in stone and wood to delicate plantings and environmental shore solutions, at Hutten & Co. Land and Shore, we create refreshing spaces that connect our rugged land and shores into a place of natural beauty. It’s not easy work, but the satisfaction is huge.

We love what we do and want like-minded people to join our team. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to take the next step in your landscape maintenance career, look no further.

As our new Crew Leader you will be responsible for planning and execution, leadership and mentoring, organization and equipment care, safety and quality standards, and project reporting.

If you were working for us, here are some of the things you would have done last week:

• Supervise, coordinate, and execute on the day-to-day work activities of a crew of 2-3 people
• Oversee and complete warranty work according to Client Care packages
• Regularly communicate with clients about ongoing property care requirements and report back to the Account Manager
• Oversee and complete work at sites ensuring safety, quality, and productivity

• Edging, spring cleanup of gardens, and mulching
• Ongoing garden management, weeding and plant care
• Fall cleanup of gardens and turf and winterization
• Seasonal and specialized pruning and transplanting
• Fertilizing and pest management
• Seasonal colour
• Irrigation and lighting maintenance services
• New plantings and garden expansion
• Improvements such as patio repair, cleaning or drainage
• Operate various tools and equipment, including compact equipment, chainsaws, blowers, trimmers, pruners, wheelbarrows, measurement equipment, shovels, rakes, horticultural implements, etc.

• Read and interpret landscape designs and specifications to complete work activities

• Perform site consultations, technical support, and collaboration with team as required

• Complete quality assessments of completed services and property inspections

• Perform onboarding of new staff
• Complete quarterly performance appraisals on personnel under your care
• Refine, implement and measure divisional best practices and performance metrics
• Conduct on-site orientations with new employees and employees in new positions, covering all company health and safety policies, practices, and procedures

• Ensure that all work activities are carried out in a safe and efficient manner, and that all crew members are in compliance with government and company PPE standards
• Complete and submit all required paperwork or electronic logs on a daily basis, including daily site meeting logs, crew daily forms, equipment daily inspection forms, attendance tracking, time and materials billing summaries, requests for time off, etc.

Success in this role will be about so much more than just quality work efficiently produced as planned. Just as importantly, it will be about making our customers happy by bringing their visions to life while contributing to our team’s growth and people-focused culture through mentoring and training.

This is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to grow in their career, challenge themselves, and take accountability, all while gaining leadership experience.
