• Keep training sessions interactive, practical, and safety‑focused.
• Contribute to the creation of training materials and track participants using CRM tools.

• Solid background in construction, roofing, or installation work.
• Comfortable with tools and skilled in hands‑on building practices.
• Strong communicator, able to teach and create enthusiasm in group settings.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Physically able to lift/carry 60+ lbs, climb, and work in hands‑on settings.
• Willingness to travel overnight across BC (approx. 25% annually).

Nice to Have:

• Previous experience mentoring, coaching, or training others.

• RRSP matching program
• Health spending account & EAP
