Construction Worker

About the Role

Muthler Landscaping is looking for dependable and hardworking Construction Workers to join our growing field team. This is a hands-on role for individuals who are experienced or eager to learn landscape construction, hardscape installation, site prep, excavation, drainage, and tree-related work. You’ll work on a wide variety of projects—retaining walls, patios, driveways, tree removals, grading, trenching, and more.

We are not a mow-and-go lawn company. If you want real work with real equipment—and want to learn how to run skid steers, build walls, and prep sites like a pro—this is the job.

Responsibilities

• Operate or support operation of skid steers, mini excavators, and other landscape construction equipment (training provided)
• Load/unload materials such as pavers, gravel, topsoil, and timbers
• Dig trenches, grade sites, and help with backfill, compaction, and cleanup
• Follow directions from foreman or site supervisor to complete work efficiently
• Maintain safe, clean job sites and assist in daily tool and equipment checks
• Occasionally assist with snow removal, tree work, or seasonal maintenance tasks

Requirements

• 1+ year of experience in construction, landscaping, excavation, or related field preferred (will train the right person)
• Strong work ethic and reliability—must show up on time, ready to work
• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs repeatedly, bend, kneel, and work outdoors in all weather
• Comfortable working with power tools, saws, shovels, and compact equipment
• Driver’s license preferred (not required if reliable transportation is available)
• Willingness to work long days during peak season and occasional weekends as needed

Preferred (but not required)

• Experience with retaining walls, paver patios, or similar landscape installs
• Experience operating a skid steer, mini excavator, or dump trailer
• CDL or interest in obtaining one
• OSHA 10/30 or hardscape certifications (ICPI, etc.)

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Paid overtime after 40 hours/week
• Opportunities to grow into crew lead or equipment operator roles
• Year-round work available for top performers (snow removal, winter services)
• Training on tools, safety, and equipment
• A professional and respectful work environment—no drama, no laziness, no excuses
