Job posting
Carpenter — Restoration
About the role
You rebuild. Once the loss is under control and the building is dry, you are the one who brings it back to its original condition: framing, drywall, doors, mouldings, cabinets and finishing.
Unlike new construction, every job is different and you work within existing structures: occupied homes, commercial buildings still in operation, details that must be matched exactly. This is full-scope carpentry, not repetitive work.
Key responsibilities
Reconstruction work:
Perform framing work: walls, floors, joists and roof structures
Install and finish drywall, taping and surface preparation
Install doors, frames, mouldings, baseboards and trim
Install flooring, cabinetry and countertops
Match existing finishes and details so repairs blend in seamlessly
Carry out exterior work: siding, soffits, fascia and windows
On the job site:
Read and interpret plans, sketches and reconstruction scopes of work
Estimate material quantities and report needs to the project manager
Protect the premises and the policyholder's belongings during the work
Follow health and safety regulations and the Construction Code
Coordinate your work with the other trades on site
Promptly report any hidden or unexpected conditions found during the work
What we are looking for
DEP in carpentry or equivalent recognized experience
Experience in renovation or restoration work is a strong asset
CCQ competency card is an asset, but not required
Versatility: comfortable with both rough framing and finish work
Autonomy and the ability to work with minimal supervision
Attention to detail: in restoration, the repair should be invisible
Professional and tidy: you often work in occupied homes
Valid ASP Construction (health and safety) card, or willing to obtain one
Valid driver's licence and personal hand tools
What we offer
Permanent, full time position
Day shift, Monday to Friday
Salary based on experience and prevailing rates
Specialized tooling and safety equipment provided
Location: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield — job sites across Montreal and Monteregie
Why join Première Générale
No two job sites alike: residential, commercial and institutional
Real carpentry work: full reconstruction, not repetitive tasks
Stable day schedule with no emergency on-call rotation
An experienced, well-established restoration team
Work that matters: you put people back in their home or business
