Markstone Landscaping is a full-service, year-round landscaping company specializing in construction, maintenance, and snow operations across the GTA. With a reputation for quality and reliability, we take pride in building and maintaining outdoor spaces for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Our commitment to safety, efficiency, and professional standards makes us a leader in the industry.
Position Summary Reporting to the Operations Manager, the AZ Driver is responsible for the safe and efficient transport of equipment, materials, and vehicles between local job sites, yards, and suppliers across the GTA. This is a local, hands-on role - not a long-haul or over-the-road position. The driver works directly alongside our landscape crews on-site, helping load, unload, and set up equipment, rather than simply making deliveries and moving on. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of a job site team, not just behind the wheel - candidates with only long-haul/OTR experience and no interest in site-based, physical work are not a fit for this role.

Communication
- Communicate delivery schedules, delays, or site issues to the Operations Manager
- Coordinate with crews and dispatch to ensure timely equipment availability
Qualifications
- Valid AZ license with 2+ years of driving experience
