About Lawn 'N' Order Custom Landscapes
We're a Winnipeg-based design-build landscaping firm. We take outdoor spaces from concept to finished build high-end patios, retaining walls, drainage, full backyard transformations the kind of work that makes the neighbours jealous. We invest heavily in the people who make it happen, and we're not looking to fill a seat for the season. We're looking for someone who wants to build a career here.
The Opportunity
This is a design-build Technician role on our Construction crew. You'll take projects from prepped site to finished space laying base, setting stone, building structures, and putting the final touches on a transformation you can stand back and be proud of. If you already know your way around a job site, take real pride in craftsmanship, and want to grow into the people who run our builds, this is the seat.

What You Bring
- Experience that shows. At least one full season in landscape construction, hardscape, general construction, or a related trade or equivalent hands-on build experience. You're comfortable on tools and on a job site.
- Self-starter. You take direction and initiative you see what needs doing and move on it without being told twice.

Where This Goes Your Path to Grow
We don't have one ladder; we have several, and the right one depends on where you're strongest. Technicians here have moved into:
- Technician → Lead Hand → Team Lead running our builds
- Pathways toward estimating and project management for people who show the head for it

We don't map your whole career in a job ad we map it with you, in person, once we see how you work. The runway is real, and we'll tell you exactly what unlocks each step.
