About the Role

Crew Leader (Installation & Enhancements)

full-time

Job Description

Lead a crew that builds and improves gardens, from patios and walls to planting and path lights.

What Makes This Role Unique?

  1. You lead employees, not subcontractors. Classic crews are employed by the company, so the people on your crew are the same ones from job to job.
  2. You build the full range. Patios and walkways, retaining walls and steps, planting beds, irrigation, landscape lighting and small Enhancement upgrades.
  3. You build from a plan. Design & Build projects come with a design and a written scope, so you know what finished looks like before you start.

What You'll Do

  • Run multi-phase installation and Enhancement jobs with your crew
  • Keep the job progressing, on track to finish on time or under the time allotted
  • Uphold the quality of the build and check it against the plan before the client walkthrough
  • Source materials and pull the information needed to continue the job
  • Tell the field supervisor or project manager early when a job turns up something unexpected
  • Keep the site safe and tidy, and do routine equipment maintenance on the company schedule

Why Work With Us?

Classic started in 1985 as a nursery in Redmond, and the landscaping business grew out of it. For more than 40 years the same company has designed, built and cared for gardens across Greater Seattle. Crews are employees with benefits, and the work is different every day.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of landscape construction experience

Benefits
