In this full-time role, your primary focus will be structural formwork carpentry, layout, and framing. You will work closely with our site supervisors to ensure the structural integrity of our projects before the pour.

• Collaboration: Work alongside general labourers and supervisors to ensure formwork is safe, accurate, and ready on schedule.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 2–4 years of proven experience in structural concrete formwork, framing, or commercial carpentry.
• Technical Skills: Strong proficiency with layout math, formwork systems (e.g., traditional wood framing or engineered systems), laser levels, and reading blueprints.
• Placing & Finishing: Experience with concrete placement, consolidating, and finishing is considered a strong asset but is not the primary focus.
• License & Transit: Valid Class 5 driver’s license (Full/Non-GDL preferred) and a reliable personal vehicle to commute directly to various local job sites.
• Physical Fitness: Ability to routinely lift 50+ lbs and perform physically demanding labor throughout the day.
