Landscape Foreman (Soft & Hard Landscaping)
Unknown
Description
Sukoon is a Ma'an-certified Abu Dhabi enterprise delivering premium landscaping and garden maintenance across villas and project sites. We're growing our delivery team and looking for an all-round landscape foreman who can run both soft and hard landscaping works — and manage subcontractors to deliver them.
The Role
You'll lead the full scope of our landscaping projects end to end — planting and soft works, hardscape and civil works, and coordinating the subcontractors and crews who deliver them. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to get a site finished to a premium standard, on time and on budget.
Key Responsibilities
Soft landscaping
- Lead planting, turfing, soil prep, and mulching works to spec and survival standards
- Oversee plant health, establishment, and snagging through the maintenance period
Hard landscaping
- Supervise interlock/paving, kerbs, concrete, masonry walls, and surface drainage
- Set out works from construction and landscape drawing
Subcontractor & crew management
- Source, engage, and manage subcontractors for specialist works (e.g. pergolas, water features, electrical, specialist masonry)
- Vet subcontractor quality, scope, and pricing; hold them to programme and standard
- Coordinate subcontractors alongside Sukoon's own crews so works run in correct sequence
- Track subcontractor progress, quality, and snagging
Overall
- Coordinate with the irrigation technician on coverage and commissioning
- Control plant material, civil materials, and consumables — minimise wastage
- Maintain quality, site cleanliness, and HSE compliance across all trades
- Report daily progress, costs, and issues to the project engineer/management
Requirements
- 6+ years' landscaping experience covering both soft and hard works, ideally in UAE/GCC
- Proven ability to manage subcontractors — sourcing, coordinating, and holding them to quality and schedule
- Strong knowledge of regional plants, turf, and soil prep and hardscape methods (paving, masonry, concrete, drainage)
- Able to read landscape and construction drawings
- Understanding of irrigation basics
- Proven ability to lead mixed crews and hit programme deadlines
- Valid UAE driving licence [required]
- English required; Arabic/Hindi/Urdu an advantage
- Quality-first mindset and full ownership of the finished site
Pay: AED4,000.00 - AED7,000.00 per month
