Landscape Construction Lead/Foreman

Cross Creek Landscape Design & Build

Coeur D Alene, ID • On-site

$50K - $80K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 13 days ago

Job description

Landscape Construction Foreman
Cross Creek Landscape Design + Build  |  Coeur d’Alene, ID  |  Full-Time

Lead the crews building North Idaho’s most ambitious backyards.
Cross Creek Landscape Design + Build takes projects from a fully rendered 3D concept to a finished, resort-quality outdoor space — in-house, start to finish, with no outsourcing the build. We’re growing, and we need a Foreman who can run our crews and equipment to the same standard we hold ourselves to: on time, on budget, and built right.

About Us
Founded and still run by lifelong locals, Cross Creek designs and builds custom hardscapes, water features, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and landscape lighting systems for homeowners across Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho. We keep the work — and the craftsmanship — in-house, which means whoever runs our crews has real influence over how a project turns out and how our name is remembered on that street.

About the Role
You’ll be the person on-site turning a design into reality: running equipment, directing the crew, staying ahead of the schedule, and catching problems before they become budget overruns. Twelve months in, you’ll be the Foreman clients ask for by name — and the one newer crew members go to when something needs to be done right.

What You’ll Do:
  • Operate and direct the use of excavators, skid steers, and dozers on active job sites.
  • Lead the build-out of hardscape features — retaining walls, paver patios, walkways, and driveways — to Cross Creek’s quality standard.
  • Oversee installation of water features, including bubblers, ponds, and custom waterfalls.
  • Install and troubleshoot landscape lighting systems, working with the suppliers we use across the region.
  • Keep projects on schedule and on budget, flagging risks to ownership before they become problems.
  • Manage and mentor crew members on-site, setting the pace and the standard.
  • Communicate daily progress and any site issues to the project manager and ownership.

What We’re Looking For:
Required:
  • 3+ years leading a crew and operating heavy equipment (excavator, skid steer, dozer) on landscape or construction sites.
  • Hands-on experience with hardscape construction, including retaining walls and paver installation.
  • Experience with water feature installation — bubblers, waterfalls, ponds, or similar.
  • Working knowledge of landscape lighting systems and installation.
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
  • A real driver — someone who takes ownership of a job site and doesn’t need to be chased for results.
Preferred:
  • Familiarity with the landscape lighting suppliers and product lines used in the North Idaho market.
  • Knowledge of native plants and trees, (aka what is deer candy and what is not).
  • Experience mentoring or training crew members.
  • OSHA 10/30 or equivalent safety training.

Compensation:
$50,000–$80,000/year depending on experience, plus bonus incentives tied to finishing jobs on time and on budget. This is a role where your performance on every project shows up in your paycheck.
