Symbiotic Landscapes is looking for a Landscape Labourer to work alongside our Site Supervisor and Lead Hand on grounds maintenance at North Island College (NIC) in Courtenay and landscape construction for new student housing at Vancouver Island University (VIU) in Nanaimo. This is an entry to intermediate role for someone who enjoys physical outdoor work, wants to build skills in both maintenance and construction, and is ready to be part of a professional, safety‑focused crew. A part‑time option is also available for candidates who wish to work only at NIC in Courtenay.

Role overview and schedule

Standard full‑time option:
2 days per week: Grounds maintenance at NIC Courtenay Campus
3 days per week: Landscape construction (student housing addition) at VIU in Nanaimo
You will support the Site Supervisor and Lead Hand (not run the crew), taking direction and helping keep work moving
1 hour of paid travel time per working day in Nanaimo (to account for regional travel)
Part‑time option (Courtenay only):
2 days per week at NIC Courtenay Campus (Thursday–Friday, maintenance work only)

Assist with mowing using stand‑on zero‑turn and push mowers after training
Use line trimmers and backpack blowers for trimming and site clean‑up
Help shear and prune hedges and shrubs under direction from the Lead Hand/Supervisor
Weed garden beds and assist with basic plant and bed care
Keep grounds, pathways, and common areas clean, safe, and tidy

Construction – VIU Nanaimo Student Housing (3 days/week, full‑time option only)

Assist with softscape work: moving soil and mulch, planting, sod/seed installation, general clean‑up
Help with hardscape tasks: moving and placing pavers and blocks, hauling and placing base materials, raking and basic grading under direction
Assist with compaction, edging, and site preparation as instructed
Support simple irrigation tasks (backfilling trenches, moving materials, cleanup)
Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow all construction site safety rules

Equipment, safety, and standards

Perform basic pre‑start checks (fuel, visual inspection) on small equipment after training
Use all required PPE and follow company and site‑specific safety procedures
Help load, unload, and secure tools and materials; keep trucks and trailers tidy
Work outdoors in all weather while maintaining good effort and a positive attitude

Qualifications

Minimum

Some hands‑on experience in landscape maintenance, construction, or other physical outdoor work (professional or strong personal/seasonal experience)
Comfortable using basic landscape tools (rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, etc.)
Willing and able to learn mowers, trimmers, blowers, and other equipment safely
Physically able to perform outdoor work, lift 50+ lbs, and be on your feet all day
Valid Class 5 driver’s licence and reliable transportation to meeting points/yards

Work style and attitude

Assets (nice to have)

Previous commercial/institutional landscape experience (campuses, strata, industrial, etc.)
Experience with mowers, line trimmers, backpack blowers, or basic construction tools
Comfort working on busy sites with other trades and equipment present

Growth and future opportunities
This is a great entry point into the landscape industry or a step up from basic labour. For the right person, this role can grow into an Equipment Operator or Lead Hand position and eventually into Foreman or Site Supervisor roles as we continue to expand on Vancouver Island.
