What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hardscape Foreman position at Alt's Operation?
Hardscape Foreman | $31–$38/hr
Put your hardscape experience to work leading a crew on paver patios and retaining walls, take pride in builds that last, and grow with a team that rewards skill.
- Work outside, not behind a desk.
- Run your own hardscape crew.
- Build patios, walls, and outdoor spaces that last for decades.
- Drive past your work and say, "My crew built that."
- Grow with one of the largest, fastest-growing outdoor companies in the area.
This is an experienced foreman role. You should already be trained in the craft and ready to lead a crew on day one.
What You'll Own
Lead a hardscape crew (up to two) installing paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, outdoor kitchens, and fire features that customers show off to their neighbors.
Turn site plans into finished builds done right the first time: layout, base prep, grading, and compaction with clean lines your crew takes pride in.
Set the standard on site: keep the crew protected, on schedule, and stocked, running daily truck prep and equipment like skid steers, compactors, and saws.
Finish every project with pride by leaving each site clean, organized, and ready for the client to enjoy.
Build the next generation of talent by training and mentoring newer crew members in the craft that makes an Alt's build stand out.
Keep our clients up and running all winter: when the snow flies, you and your crew clear commercial and residential properties during storm events. Snow response is on-call and can include nights, weekends, and holidays during storm events.
What You Bring
-Proven hardscape foreman experience is required. This is not an entry-level or trainee position. -You should come in already trained and able to run a crew with minimal oversight.
- Three to five-plus years in hardscape or landscape construction, with real crew-leadership experience.
- Command of paver patios, segmental retaining walls, and hardscape installation from base to finish.
- The ability to read a site plan and run a job with minimal oversight.
- Comfort operating a skid steer and other equipment (a strong plus, not a dealbreaker).
- The physical ability to be on your feet all day and to lift, carry, and set materials of 50 lbs (pavers, block, and stone) working outdoors in all seasons.
- A valid driver's license and a clean, insurable driving record.
- Pride in craftsmanship and the kind of leadership a crew wants to follow.
Why Alt's Operation
- Competitive pay of $31–$38/hr based on your experience.
- Year-round work: hardscape season plus paid winter snow work, so your paychecks don't stop when the temperature drops.
- 401(k) with company match, plus health, dental, life and disability insurance.
- Real room to grow: we've gone from 2 people to a team of over 100 during the snow season, and we build our leaders from within. There's no ceiling here.
- A company vehicle provided to foremen after your first 90 days.
- Top-tier equipment and the backing to take on the projects other companies turn down such as steep slopes, shorelines, and design-builds that turn into award-worthy spaces.
- A family-oriented crew where everybody has a voice and hard work gets respected.
- Uniforms and PPE provided.
-Overtime paid at time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a week.
- Snow pays more here: when you're out removing snow, you earn a higher snow wage on top of your regular pay.
Where You'll Shine
Be the foreman crews want to work for. Take ownership of builds that transform a property. Solve the hard problems other companies walk away from. And build something you can drive past for years and say, "My crew did that."
