The Opportunity

We’re looking for a hands-on Operations Manager to lead our Medicine Hat division. This is not a desk job—while you’ll oversee operations, manage teams, and drive project success, you’ll also be in the field when needed, assisting with installations, troubleshooting equipment, and ensuring job sites run smoothly.

• Build & Maintain Strong Client Relationships – Foster long-term partnerships with clients, consultants, and municipal partners, ensuring high customer satisfaction.
• Team Leadership & Development – Hire, train, and mentor site managers and field crews, ensuring a motivated and high-performing team.
• Operate & Maintain Equipment – Assist with operating skid steers, mini hoes, and other heavy equipment when needed and ensure proper maintenance.
• Ensure Safety & Compliance – Conduct site inspections, enforce safety regulations, and promote a safety-first culture among employees.
• Financial Oversight – Track project budgets, approve expenses, and implement cost-saving measures while maintaining high-quality standards.
• Administrative & Reporting Duties – Maintain records of project progress, safety incidents, and equipment usage, and support invoicing and contract compliance. 

Performance Expectations & Accountabilities

The Operations Manager (MH Division) will be measured on the following key performance factors:

• Project Execution & Contract Fulfillment – Ensuring projects are completed on time, within scope, and in alignment with contractual obligations.
• Operational Efficiency – Maximizing resources, workforce productivity, and equipment utilization to enhance project outcomes.
• Budget & Financial Management – Ensuring projects are successfully executed within budget while adhering to all contractual obligations.
• Health & Safety Compliance – Maintaining a zero-incident workplace and enforcing all industry safety regulations and site standards.
• Client & Consultant Relations – Strengthening client satisfaction and professional relationships through effective communication and project delivery.

We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in commercial landscaping, irrigation, construction, or project management preferred
• 2+ years in operations management with leadership responsibilities preferred
• Proven hands-on experience—you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and help in the field
