Job description

Ansept Construction is a general contractor delivering residential renovations, commercial builds, multifamily projects, and restoration work across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

We are hiring a Journeyman Carpenter to set the quality standard across each carpentry scope on site and mentor the crew around them. If you execute complex installations independently and take pride in raising the skill of everyone on your crew, we want to talk.

What You Will Do

• Serve as the on site technical authority for all carpentry scopes, from layout through punch list completion, ensuring workmanship meets company and project standards.
• Execute complex installations, including custom trim, precision flooring transitions, and window and door packages, with accuracy and finish quality.
• Mentor and develop crew members, including apprentices, labourers, and foremen, through hands on instruction, technique demonstration, and real time quality coaching.
• Review project drawings proactively to identify conflicts, coordination issues, or material requirements before they affect the schedule or create change orders.
• Collaborate with the Site Superintendent on scope planning, daily progress, and resource needs.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and ensure tools and materials are stored and accounted for at the end of each day.
• Report safety hazards, material shortages, or workmanship issues to the Site Superintendent or Project Manager promptly.
• Comply with all site safety standards, OH&S requirements, and PPE protocols.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation reflecting journeyman level skill and leadership responsibility.
• A mix of project types, residential renovations, commercial builds, multifamily, and restoration work, for continuous professional development.
• A defined career path with advancement into Foreman, Superintendent, and Project Manager roles as the company scales.
• A quality driven work environment with the materials and tools needed to deliver to standard.
• Support for continuing education and certification upgrades.

What You Need

• Journeyman Carpenter certification. Red Seal strongly preferred.
• Minimum five years of hands on carpentry experience across multiple scopes.
• At least two years of experience supervising, mentoring, or technically leading other tradespeople.
• A valid driver's license and reliable vehicle to travel between project sites across the region.
• Legal authorization to work in Canada.

Nice to Have

• Experience with residential renovation and restoration, not just new build construction.
• Experience placing, cutting, fitting, and installing FRP panels on walls.
• Experience installing baseboards and finish work, including caulking.
• Experience installing MDF cutouts.
• Current WHMIS, CSTS, and First Aid certifications.
• Experience contributing to project scoping, material takeoffs, or estimation.
• Comfortable with digital tools for daily reporting and communication.
• Experience on projects ranging from under $500K to over $2M.
