Landscape/Hardscape Construction Crew Member (1+ Yr. Exp. Preferred)

We here at MGS are currently looking for full time seasonal or year round employees to work in the professional landscape industry. We are a younger business that has built itself solely on a positive customer experience, a great place to work for all members of our team, and word of mouth advertising. Nearly all of our current team members have been with us since we/they started. We are focused on building careers for our team members, not just another job or place to work. We enjoy working outside and gain the rewards of looking back on the projects we construct and the landscapes we maintain that put smiles on not only our customers faces, but also the team that pulled off the impossible. Recently adding an excavation and site work division to our company, you can be assured that you can grow right along with us.

We are a small local family owned business that is located in southern Albany County and serves much of the capital area and the Hill-town area. Both owners of the business work right along side our team members each and every day.

Knowledge in areas of building & maintaining landscapes; paving stones, natural stone work, masonry, equipment operation and mechanical skills are important. We as a company are willing to help, train, and teach our new team members to become the best they can be and diversify their skills set. Winter operations include commercial and residential snow and ice management along with shop/equipment maintenance. As much of our work takes place outside and is weather dependent, the winters are slower but do contain a lighter project load. Always a change of scenery.

Valid drivers License is required to drive company trucks.

Rate of pay and benefits are negotiable and based on experience.

Start time is immediate.
