At Jason Roy Home Renovations, we believe the people behind the work matter just as much as the work itself.

We're looking for an experienced Journeyperson Carpenter who can lead a job site and be trusted with the full range of residential renovation work — not just one specialty. We specialize in residential renovations and custom projects where the work varies day to day, and we need someone who can take a project from framing through to final finish without needing to be walked through it.

This is a lead role. You'll be running the site, guiding our apprentices, and making the calls that keep a job moving and done right.

We get a lot of applicants who are strong in one area but haven't done the full range above. For this role we need someone we can hand any part of a renovation to and trust it'll get done right, so please only apply if you've been actively working across most or all of these tasks for 5+ years, using Canadian building codes on the job.
