About the role

Lakeland College is looking for a skilled and creative Horticultural Technician to join our Grounds team.

If you’re passionate about working outdoors, bringing landscapes to life, and making spaces safe, sustainable, and beautiful year-round, this is the role for you.

Every season offers something different-turf care in the summer, planting and pruning in the fall, snow management in the winter, and planning fresh designs in the spring-making this a truly dynamic and rewarding position.

Why Join Lakeland?

At Lakeland College, you’ll do more than maintain campus grounds-you’ll help shape a welcoming, inspiring environment for students, staff, and visitors. Here, your work is noticed and appreciated.

We offer:

  • A chance to make a visible impact on our vibrant campus environment
  • Opportunities for professional growth, training, and development
  • Competitive pay and benefits to support your wellbeing
  • A supportive, team-oriented workplace where collaboration and creativity thrive

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and enhance campus grounds through seasonal turf care, planting, pruning, and landscape upkeep
  • Install, maintain, and repair both hardscapes (paths, patios, retaining walls) and softscapes (gardens, trees, lawns)
  • Support snow removal and ice control during winter months
  • Contribute to landscape planning and design projects
  • Operate equipment safely and assist with daily maintenance and minor mechanical upkeep

Job Requirements

  • Diploma in horticulture or a related field
  • At least two years of hands-on horticulture experience
  • Knowledge of hardscape and softscape installation methods
  • Valid Landscape Pesticide Applicators License
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
  • A positive, team-oriented attitude and leadership ability
  • Experience with landscape design and software is an asset

Additional Information

This is a Temporary Full-Time AUPE position within the Grounds Department, based at our Lloydminster campus.
The competition will remain open until November 30, 2025, or until a suitable candidate is found.
