More Than a Labour Job--Your First Step Toward a Trade

Chase Contracting Ltd. is a growing concrete-forming contractor serving commercial and industrial projects throughout the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. Our work includes foundations, structural walls, slabs, tilt-up panels, and multi-level parkades. We are looking for someone who does not simply need a temporary job, but genuinely wants to enter the construction industry and grow into a skilled Carpenter.

The Construction Labourer supports the field team with concrete forming, material handling, site preparation, cleanup, and general construction activities. You will work under the direction of Foremen, Site Supervisors, and experienced Carpenters while learning practical jobsite skills.

Previous construction experience is not required. What matters most is that you are dependable, physically capable, and eager to learn. High-performing employees may be considered for progression into a carpentry apprenticeship, based on demonstrated skills, performance, business needs, and applicable apprenticeship requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist Carpenters with building, installing, bracing, and stripping formwork
• Load, unload, move, organize, and stage construction materials
• Assist with measuring, marking, cutting, drilling, fastening, and assembly once trained

• Keep work areas, material-storage areas, and the general jobsite clean
• Remove nails, fasteners, concrete buildup, and debris from used formwork
• Clean and organize lumber and forming components for reuse
• Retrieve and return tools promptly to keep the crew productive
• Inspect cords, hoses, ladders, tools, and equipment before use
• Report damaged equipment, missing materials, and unsafe conditions
• Wear all required personal protective equipment
• Participate in safety orientations and toolbox talks
• Ask for the next priority when assigned work is complete

Qualifications

• A genuine desire to build a career in construction and eventually enter a carpentry apprenticeship
• Dependable, punctual, hardworking, and willing to take direction

• Comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions
• Willingness to learn the safe use of hand and power tools
• Strong awareness of safety and jobsite cleanliness
• Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation to assigned jobsites are required because some project locations may not be accessible by public transit.

Pay and Benefits

• Full‑time, permanent position, averaging 40 hours per week
• Pay: CA$20.00-$25.00 per hour, based on relevant experience
• Overtime opportunities and overtime pay
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage for eligible full‑time employees and dependants
