Snow Sidewalk Crew Member / Foreman

Lawn Lad is hiring dependable Snow Sidewalk Crew Members and Foremen for our commercial snow operation. We’re looking for people who can work safely and efficiently during winter storms, operate sidewalk snow equipment, and take responsibility for completing assigned work.

Previous snow experience is helpful but not required for Crew Members. Experienced candidates with strong judgment, a valid driver’s license, and leadership ability may be considered for Sidewalk Foreman / Crew Leader positions.

This is weather-driven work. Snow events can occur days, nights, weekends, and holidays, and some events require extended shifts. When snow comes, our customers and the rest of the team are counting on us.

What You’ll Do

• Clear commercial sidewalks, entrances, steps, and pedestrian areas
• Operate snowblowers, Snowrators, power brooms, spreaders, and other sidewalk snow equipment as assigned
• Shovel and push snow and apply deicer
• Work safely and efficiently throughout the snow event
• Follow the assigned route and snow-event plan
• Protect company equipment and customer property
• Communicate problems promptly
• Stay engaged until assigned work is complete and you are released

Foremen/Crew Leaders also drive company vehicles, organize and direct a small sidewalk crew, and take responsibility for completing their assigned route.

What We’re Looking For

• Dependable availability for weather-driven snow events
• Reliable transportation to report for work at any time of day or night, including during winter weather
• Ability to perform sustained physical outdoor work, including repeated shoveling, pushing snow, and lifting/carrying 50-lb bags of deicer
• Good judgment and ability to work as part of a team
• Previous commercial snow experience is a plus
• Valid driver’s license required for Foreman/Crew Leader assignments

Pay & Winter Season

$18–$32/hour, based on experience, qualifications, and assignment.

Winter work generally runs from November through mid-April and is weather dependent.

Year-Round Opportunities

Lawn Lad also has year-round landscape positions available for qualified candidates interested in continuing with us beyond the snow season.

Sidewalk Subcontractors

Experienced individual subcontractors and established sidewalk crews are also welcome to apply for subcontract snow work. Subcontractors are assigned their own route or group of sites and are responsible for completing that work to Lawn Lad standards during the storm event.

Subcontractor rates start at $50/hour and increase based on crew size, equipment, experience, and assignment. Subcontractors must maintain commercial vehicle and general liability insurance.

Pay: $18.00 - $32.00 per hour
