About V.I.L. Landscaping

V.I.L. Landscaping is one of the GTA’s fastest-growing landscape design-build companies — building world-class outdoor spaces across Oakville, Burlington, and the west GTA.

Our Enhancement Division is where craftsmanship meets speed — we handle all the small-to-mid-size upgrades that keep our clients’ properties at that world-class standard year-round.

If you’re a versatile leader who can move fast, manage chaos, and deliver beautiful results — this is your arena.

About the Role

The Enhancement Foreman runs multiple small, high-value jobs each week — from garden makeovers to patio extensions, lighting, cleanups, and seasonal upgrades.
You’ll lead a small crew (1-3 team members), manage your own truck and trailer, and take full ownership for delivering quality, efficiency, and profitability on every project.

Key Responsibilities

Project Execution

• Complete enhancement and light construction jobs ($2K–$25K range) including:
• Fall & spring cleanups, mulch and planting installs
• Garden and lawn renovations
• Light interlock work: curbing, walkways, coping, extensions
• Small carpentry: framing, skirting, planters, pergolas
• Lighting, edging, and softscape finishing work

Crew & Workflow Management

• Plan and execute daily workflows — labor, material, and equipment
• Manage crew assignments, load-outs, and jobsite efficiency
• Coordinate material deliveries and dumps with yard and office
• Track estimated vs. actual hours; hit job targets consistently

Quality & Brand Standards

• Keep all job sites spotless — no debris, tools, or clutter left behind
• Ensure trucks, trailers, and equipment represent the V.I.L. standard
• Communicate clearly with clients, office, and field support
• Submit daily forms, photos, and job completion updates

What World-Class Looks Like

You…

• Thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments
• Can lay pavers and plant trees — and love both
• Know how to manage moving parts without losing your cool
• See problems before they happen — and fix them without being asked
• Respect materials, hours, and client experience like cash
• Lead from the front and bring energy to your crew every day

Skills & Experience

• 3+ years in landscaping, construction, or enhancement work
• Strong understanding of both hardscape and softscape techniques
• Skilled with skid steers, plate compactors, saws, and trailers
• Confident driving a truck + dump trailer
• Valid G license with clean abstract (D license an asset)
• Comfortable reading scopes, sketches, or plans
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Physically fit and willing to work outdoors in all weather

Compensation & Growth

• Hourly Wage: $27–$35/hr based on experience
• Bonus: up to 10% of gross profit per job based on performance
• Overtime Pay and Year-End Bonus potential
• Full-time, year-round work (landscaping + snow operations)
