Maintenance Foreman: Lead Our Labor Crew

Build Your Leadership Career with Mountain Valley

Mountain Valley Maintenance | Eagle Valley, CO

$30 to $34 per hour + overtime + $1,500 minimum snow season retention bonus + full benefits

Full-time, year-round | Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm | 4am starts on storm days

Bilingual English and Spanish required | Applications accepted on an ongoing basis

The Opportunity

Mountain Valley Maintenance is looking for a working foreman to lead our maintenance labor crew. For over 20 years we have been a stable, year-round employer in the Vail Valley, taking care of the associations and homes where hundreds of Valley residents live. This crew handles the outdoor work that keeps those properties safe and looking good: snow removal in winter, landscaping and irrigation in summer, and general maintenance labor all year.

You will report to our Maintenance Manager and lead a crew of 4 to 6 laborers. This is a separate crew from our technician team. You will be in the field with your crew every day, running the work and doing the work.

Why This Position Matters

•        Real Responsibility: You run the crew: daily assignments, quality, safety, and training are yours

•        Year-Round Stability: Same hours and same paycheck in January and July, no seasonal layoff

•        Career Growth: This is the step from laborer or lead to true crew leadership, with a path toward management

•        Your Bilingual Skills Are Essential: Our crew and our clients speak both languages, and you are the bridge between them

What You Will Do

Crew Leadership

•        Lead, train, and motivate a crew of 4 to 6 maintenance laborers

•        Give clear safety and work instructions in English and Spanish, and run short daily safety talks

•        Set the example on the job: quality, pace, safety, and respect for the properties and residents

•        Track crew hours, daily job notes, and site photos in our Jobber software

•        Help the Maintenance Manager with hiring, training, and performance feedback for the crew

Snow Operations (Winter)

•        Run plow routes and shoveling crews during storms, starting at 4am when snow falls

•        Operate plow trucks, skid steers, and snow blowers, and keep the crew working safely on ice and in cold

•        Apply deicer, clear walkways, stairs, and entries, and check every site before leaving it

•        Communicate storm progress and problems to the Maintenance Manager and property managers

Landscaping and Irrigation (Summer)

•        Lead mowing, trimming, planting, mulching, weed control, and cleanup on association grounds

•        Run irrigation spring startup, seasonal adjustments, repairs, and fall winterization

•        Inspect properties for hazards, drainage problems, and repair needs, and report them

General Maintenance Labor (Year-Round)

•        Lead hauling, debris removal, painting, staining, minor repairs, and property cleanup projects

•        Keep trucks, trailers, and equipment clean, fueled, inspected, and ready for the next day

•        Order and pick up materials, and keep track of what the crew uses

What Your Week Looks Like

Most of the year you are in by 8am for a quick crew huddle with the Maintenance Manager, then on the road with your crew to the day's properties. You check in on each site, work alongside the crew, handle questions from property managers and residents, and close out the day with hours and notes in Jobber by 5pm. On storm days the schedule changes: the crew starts at 4am so walkways and drives are clear before residents leave for work, and we rotate weekend storm coverage so no one carries every storm.

What You Bring

Required

•        3 or more years of experience leading a crew in snow removal, landscaping, grounds, or similar outdoor maintenance work

•        Experience operating plow trucks and skid steers

•        Able to speak English and Spanish well enough to give safety and work instructions to the crew and talk with clients and property managers, and to read and write basic notes, checklists, and text messages in both languages

•        Valid driver's license with an insurable driving record (CDL not required)

•        Able to use a smartphone or tablet for time tracking, photos, and job notes

•        Available for 4am starts on storm days and a share of weekend snow coverage

•        Authorized to work in the United States

Preferred (We Will Train the Right Person)

•        Irrigation experience or certification

•        Colorado Certified Operator or Qualified Supervisor pesticide license, or willingness to obtain one in your first season

•        OSHA 10 and First Aid/CPR

•        Experience with Jobber or similar field software

•        Knowledge of mountain plant material and high-altitude turf care

Leadership Qualities We Value

•        Respect: You treat every crew member with dignity

•        Patience: You teach rather than criticize

•        Fairness: You distribute work and opportunities equitably

•        Communication: You listen as much as you direct

•        Safety First: You get the crew home safe every day, no exceptions
