Snow Plow Driver and Push Box Operator

About Peabody Landscape Group

Peabody Landscape Group has designed, built and cared for commercial and residential landscapes in Central Ohio since 1982. We are locally owned and based on Dublin Road in Columbus. Our work covers landscape design and construction, commercial and residential maintenance, irrigation, outdoor lighting and commercial snow and ice management, and we grow our own plant material at our tree nursery.

Our crews work the full year, landscape in season and snow in winter. The properties we serve keep the same people and the same standards through all four seasons, and we would like the people we hire to stay with us for the same reason.

The role

We are hiring experienced snow plow drivers and push box operators for our commercial snow and ice program. Depending on your experience, you will drive a company plow truck on an assigned route of commercial properties, or run a skid steer, backhoe or wheel loader with a push box on our larger lots. You will work with our sidewalk crews so that each property is safe and open before the business day begins.

What you will do

• Review your route, site plans, priority areas, and snow stacking areas before each storm.
• Inspect your truck or loader, plow or push box, and spreader before starting, and report any defect or damage right away.
• Plow, push and de-ice assigned lots and drives without blocking walks, entrances, drains, hydrants or accessible parking.
• Coordinate with sidewalk crews and dispatch as conditions change, and return to sites for follow-up service when assigned.
• Record arrival and departure times, conditions, work completed and material used at every site.
• Refuel, clean and prepare your equipment for the next call.

What we are looking for

• Hands-on commercial snow experience, either plowing with a truck or pushing with a skid steer, backhoe or wheel loader.
• A valid driver's license and a driving record that allows you to operate a company vehicle.
• Availability for storm calls at night and on weekends.
• A safe, careful approach to equipment and clear communication with your crew.

Experience on both trucks and loaders, spreader experience and knowledge of Columbus-area commercial sites are a plus.

Pay and schedule

Snow work pays $30 to $35 an hour, based on experience. This is seasonal, hourly work, and the hours follow the weather.

You will be on call from November 15 through the end of the snow season. Crews report to our yard.

After winter, there is year-round maintenance and construction work for those who want to stay, paid at that crew's rate. Year-round work depends on openings and fit and is not guaranteed.

What we offer

• Year-round maintenance and construction work after winter for those who want to stay.
• Room to grow into equipment operation, crew leadership and other skilled work as openings and experience allow.

Physical demands

This work is done outdoors in cold, snow and ice, often at night, and involves standing, walking, shoveling, lifting and climbing in and out of vehicles for long shifts.

How to apply

Apply through Indeed or at peabodylandscape.com/about/careers with a short summary of your snow experience, the trucks, loaders and push boxes you have operated, and your winter availability.

Offers are contingent on a driving record check and a drug test.
