We were going to make a pun about hedge trimmers… but most don’t know enough about our cutting hedge technology! : )
All jokes aside, come join the Hedge King team this April and be one of the limited number of people in Ottawa who are skilled in the art of hedge trimming.
Hedge King is seeking reliable and hardworking individuals to join our existing team as Landscape Labourers. This is a full-time position spanning from April – November (50+ hours per week) with an opportunity to work throughout the winter months as well. As we invest a high amount of training and coaching in our employees, candidates must be able to work for a minimum of seven months (this position is not suited for students with only summer availability). At Hedge King, we are committed to our employees and want to provide our team members the opportunity to learn and grow with the company. Hedge King is rapidly expanding with lots of opportunities for advancement within the company.
