  • Planting trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals
  • Weeding, mulching, pruning, and edging

Additional responsibilities:
  • Mentoring and instructing other crew members
  • Tracking and reporting materials, equipment, and labor
  • Upholding MOG's 5-star client service standard
  • Promoting a safe work environment at all times
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
  • 3 to 5 years of hardscape construction experience required
  • Demonstrated experience with paver and stone installation, wall construction, and mortar work
  • Ability to work in a physically demanding environment in varied weather conditions
  • Strong communication skills with clients and crew members
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to work independently

  • Experience with power tools and hand tools at a mastery level
  • Heavy equipment experience (Dingo, skid steer, excavator) preferred
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required
  • Passing a background check and drug screening is required
Schedule:  Full-time, 40 hours per week. Monday through Friday. Typical shifts range from 7 am to 6 pm, depending on client needs, weather, and project scope. Some Saturdays are required during the peak spring and fall seasons. Ability to commit more hours during our busy season. 

Required: Valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle to drive to and from work and various locations. Having a work truck or van is advantageous for consideration of higher pay and/or additional travel stipends 
Must pass Drug Test (for illegal substances) and Background Check 

Work Location: Various locations in the Central and Northern Greater Cincinnati area, and Southern Greater Dayton Regions.
