Landscape Foreman

About Rescaped We design and build bespoke outdoor spaces across Auckland, Queenstown, Wanaka and Cromwell. We're proud of the quality, detail, and care that go into every project — and just as proud of the team we've built along the way. About the Role Do you take real pride in building outdoor spaces that people fall in love with? We're looking for an experienced landscaper or builder to lead our crews and take ownership of our high-end residential projects across the Southern Lakes region. As our Landscape Foreman, you'll own each project on the ground — from taking the handover and planning the work, through to running the site day to day and handing over a finished space our clients are proud of. You'll be on the tools alongside your crew while keeping an eye on the bigger picture: timelines, quality, safety and budget. What You'll Be Doing - Project Ownership: Take the handover, plan the work, and run the site day to day from start to finish. - Hardscape & Softscape Delivery: Lead the team across pool and spa surrounds, concrete, stonework, paving and retaining walls, decks, pergolas, louvres, fencing, gates, screens, drainage, lawns and planting. - Team Leadership: Lead by example on the tools, keep the crew motivated, and get the best out of the people around you. - Client & Subcontractor Liaison: Communicate clearly with clients and subcontractors to keep every project on track. - Quality & Safety: Keep the site safe, organised, and working to the standard our clients expect. - Training & Career Progression - We're growing, and we want our Foremen to grow with us. You'll have real support to develop your leadership skills, room to mentor junior team members, and genuine opportunities to step up further as Rescaped expands. What We're Looking For - Technical Experience: Hands-on experience across concrete, paving and timber construction, including decking, pergolas and retaining structures. - Leadership: A confident, reliable leader who can guide a crew and keep momentum on complex builds. - Problem-Solving: Adaptable, and quick to troubleshoot issues on site. - Craftsmanship: A genuine eye for detail and pride in producing top-tier work. - Communication: Comfortable talking with clients, subcontractors and your team alike. - Culture Fit: Someone the rest of the team would genuinely enjoy grabbing a coffee — or a cold drink — with after work. We take our culture seriously. - A full, clean driver's licence What's On Offer - Competitive pay: $40–$50 per hour, based on experience - Company vehicle provided for work-related travel - Tools, uniform and PPE provided - Ongoing training and a genuine pathway to grow your career with us - A supportive, sociable team that takes pride in doing things properly - The chance to work across some of New Zealand's most spectacular locations - 3.5% KiwiSaver contribution Why Rescaped We're a close-knit, growing team that backs our people.
