Location:

Arundel, Maine (projects throughout Southern Maine — from Kittery to Brunswick and west toward Bethel/Sunday River)

About the Company:A Landscape construction firm specializing in complex, custom hardscape and landscape projects across Southern Maine. Unlike traditional landscape companies focused on maintenance and “cookie-cutter” residential work, this team takes on unique, ground-up projects that blend craftsmanship, creativity, and technical precision. The projects often include full-site development, grading, drainage, patios, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces — executed with an emphasis on quality, safety, and teamwork.

We maintain a tight-knit, family-like culture where employees are valued, empowered, and encouraged to grow. Work continues year-round, including stonework through the winter — and no snow plowing.

Position Summary:

The Hardscape Site Foreman / Mason Project Lead will oversee all aspects of high-end landscape construction and masonry projects — from reading plans and setting grades to leading field crews and ensuring top-tier craftsmanship. This is a hands-on leadership role ideal for an experienced mason who can balance both field execution and light project coordination.

You'll manage a small crew, work independently on job sites, and ensure projects are completed safely, on schedule, and to design specifications. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable running a crew and interacting professionally with homeowners, builders, and design partners.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all on-site hardscape construction activities, including excavation, layout, grading, and installation of patios, retaining walls, walkways, and stone features.
• Interpret and work from blueprints, site plans, and grade elevations.
• Supervise and mentor crew members — providing hands-on training and ensuring efficient, safe, and high-quality workmanship.
• Coordinate with the Hardscape Manager to review plans, budgets, timelines, and material needs prior to project kickoff.
• Communicate clearly with office staff, vendors, and clients regarding project progress and material requirements.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site at all times.
• Identify and communicate potential change orders or design adjustments before performing the work.
• Operate equipment (tractors, trucks, saws, compactors, etc.) safely and effectively.
• Continue masonry and stonework through the winter season — no snow removal required.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in landscape or hardscape construction, with proven masonry skills.
• Ability to read and interpret plans, set grades, and direct crews with minimal supervision.
• Clean and valid driver's license required.
• Proficient in use of construction tools, tractors, and oversized trucks.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Professional demeanor with clients and co-workers.
• Experience building with natural stone, block, and brick preferred.
• Formal education in construction, landscape design, or related fields is a plus.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Hourly Rate: $30–$40+ per hour (DOE; negotiable for highly skilled candidates)
• Benefits include:
• Health & Dental Insurance (multiple plan options)
• 8 Paid Holidays
• Earned Time Off: 40 hours first year; up to 120 hours by year three
• Simple IRA with 3% company match after 3 years
• Short-Term Disability
• Paid Parental Leave
• Tuition/Education Reimbursement
• Flexible Schedule (especially during winter months)
• Year-round employment — no plowing

Why Join:

• Be part of a craftsmanship-driven company building some of Maine's most distinctive hardscape projects.
• Enjoy steady year-round work without snow removal or seasonal layoffs.
• Work with a supportive, family-oriented team that values skill, autonomy, and professionalism.
• Advance your career — whether you're a master mason ready for more responsibility or a foreman looking for stability and growth.
