Gardenzilla Lawn & Garden is looking for an experienced snow shoveler with a driver’s licence to join our busy winter team. We have small, Residential Routes that typically take 8 hours in small to mid sized storms, with a great team and opportunities for year round work for the right applicant.
You will need to commit to being available for every snow event (without exception) from December through the end of March. You will drive a company vehicle and work with one other employee to service about 35 residential properties in midtown Toronto.
