The Haliscape Advantage

Tired of the seasonal "off-season"? At Haliscape Construction, we provide the option for steady, year-round employment. You’ll spend the warmer months on high-quality landscaping and site prep projects, with the option to transition into our winter operations with premium pay during snow events. We offer a professional, safety-first environment where your skills are respected.

What’s In It For You?

• True Stability: No more seasonal layoffs; work full-time through all four seasons.
• Competitive Pay: A solid base of $25–$30/hr, with significantly higher rates during winter storm response.
• Local Projects: Keep your commute short with work primarily centered in West Bedford and Dartmouth.
• Growth: Work with a supportive crew and well-maintained equipment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Site Construction: Professional operation of excavators, loaders, and skid steers/bobcats for grading, trenching, and hauling (loading and moving materials across the site).
• Winter Operations: Respond to snow events to perform commercial clearing using heavy equipment.
• Equipment Care: Complete daily inspections and basic maintenance to keep the fleet running smoothly.
• All-Hands Approach: Lead by example by assisting with manual site tasks (shoveling, raking, cleanup) when required.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 2+ years of professional experience operating Excavators, Loaders, or Skid Steers.
• Technical Skill: Mechanically inclined with the physical ability to handle up to 55 lbs.
• License & Transport: Must have a valid Class 5 Driver’s License and a reliable vehicle (work sites are not accessible by bus).
• Availability: Flexible, on-call availability is required during the winter months for storm response.

Important Application Note

No Sponsorship: We do not provide sponsorship for the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), PR, or work permits. Applicants must already have permanent legal status to work in Canada.

Next Steps: We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted via Indeed.
