Gibraltar Construction is a commercial general contractor specializing in tenant improvements and interior renovations. As we continue to grow we're looking for a Carpenter to join and support our team. We're ideally looking for someone based in Vancouver, BC.
This role would suit someone with a solid hands-on construction background who is ready to take on more responsibility and develop toward becoming a Site Manager. You don't need to be a 20-year journeyman carpenter. Around 5+ years of good hands-on construction experience, a willingness to learn, and an attitude of getting stuck into whatever needs doing are much more important to us.
What You'll Be Doing
- Support our experienced Site Managers across Vancouver projects.
- Assist with coordinating trades, deliveries, access and day-to-day site activities.
- Communicate with trades, PMs and other members of the project team.
- Complete daily reports, progress photos and basic site documentation.
- Open and close sites when required.
- Maintain clean, organized and qualified jobsites.
- Complete hands-on work as required, including:
- Steel-stud framing and boarding/drywall.
- Doors and hardware.
- Blocking and backing.
- Finishing carpentry.
- Washroom accessories.
- Deficiencies and general site fixes.
- Gradually take on more responsibility and begin overseeing smaller projects independently.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of hands-on construction experience preferred.
- Commercial construction or renovation experience is a strong asset.
- Good general carpentry and construction knowledge.
- Comfortable using basic technology for reports, photos and communication.
- Able to communicate confidently with trades and the project team.
- Valid driver's licence and reliable vehicle.
- Able to travel to projects throughout Vancouver Island.
- Most importantly: a good attitude, willingness to learn, and willingness to jump in and do whatever is required to keep a project moving.
Salary is dependent on experience and ability to work evenings/owns a vehicle. We're not looking for someone who already knows everything. We already have experienced Site Managers who this person will work alongside and learn from. We're looking for someone with a strong hands-on foundation who wants the opportunity to develop into a Site Manager and take on more responsibility over time.
Gibraltar is continuing to grow on Vancouver Island, and we'd like this person to become a long-term part of the Island team as that workload continues to expand.
Pay: $30.00-$38.00 per hour
Ability to commute/relocate
- Vancouver, BC: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)
Application question(s):
- Are you legally eligible to work in Canada?
