Job summary

Alt's Operation in Verona, WI is seeking a seasoned landscape foreman to lead a small crew on install projects year-round. You will read plans, supervise up to two crew members, and ensure quality work while coordinating with designers and managing on-site logistics.

You must have 3–5 years as a crew lead or foreman, strong leadership, and the stamina to be on your feet all day, lifting up to 50 lbs, in all seasons. Snow response duties are included.

Qualifications

• Proven landscape foreman experience is required.
• Three to five years of landscape installation experience as a crew lead or foreman.
• Working knowledge of plant installation, grading, sod, mulch, and landscape feature installation.
• The ability to read landscape plans and coordinate with designers.
• Strong crew leadership and daily job-site documentation skills.
• A valid driver's license and a clean, insurable driving record.
• The physical ability to be on your feet all day and to lift, carry, and plant materials of 50+ lbs, working outdoors in all seasons.

Responsibilities

• Lead a landscape crew (up to two) installing plantings, grading, sod, mulch, and landscape features that transform a property.
• Turn landscape plans into finished installs, coordinating with designers and getting the details right the first time.
• Set the standard on site, keeping your crew coordinated, productive, and looking out for one another while running daily truck and equipment prep.
• Document the job with daily job-site updates so schedules, materials, and progress stay on track.
• Finish with pride, leaving every site clean, planted, and ready for the client to enjoy.
• Build the next generation by training and mentoring newer crew members in the craft.
• Keep clients covered all winter: when the snow flies, you and your crew clear commercial and residential properties. Winter snow response is on-call and can include nights, weekends, and holidays during storm events.
