About us
Cambria has been building since 1995, starting in the quick-serve restaurant industry with franchise rollouts, renovations, and reimaging. Over 30+ years, those client relationships and referrals have grown our business into Design-Build and Airport divisions — while we've stayed true to the roots we started with. We're a team-focused company that invests in long-term relationships, both with clients and with the people who work here.
The Opportunity
We are an established commercial general contractor and construction management company seeking an Assistant Site Supervisor / Foreman to join our site operations team.
This is an entry-level supervisory position with a defined path toward becoming a full Site Supervisor. The successful candidate will work directly alongside an experienced Senior Site Supervisor, gaining hands-on experience managing commercial construction projects from site mobilization through turnover.
Our work includes large-scale commercial interior fit-outs and renovations for major retail clients, often in active or occupied environments with demanding schedules and high expectations for quality, safety and coordination.
We are looking for someone who already has a foundation in general contracting and wants to build a long-term career in construction supervision. This position is suited to an individual who is motivated, dependable, coachable and ready to take on increasing responsibility as their experience develops.
Responsibilities
Working under the direction and mentorship of a Senior Site Supervisor, you will assist with:
- Day-to-day coordination of construction activities on site
- Coordination and supervision of subcontractors and trades
- Reviewing and interpreting construction drawings, specifications and site details
- Monitoring construction progress, quality and schedule
- Coordinating deliveries, materials and site logistics
- Maintaining an organized, professional and safe job site
- Identifying site issues and assisting with practical solutions
- Communicating with project managers, subcontractors, consultants and other project stakeholders
- Assisting with site documentation, daily reports, deficiencies and closeout
- Participating in site meetings and trade coordination
- Ensuring work is completed in accordance with drawings, specifications and company standards
- Supporting project turnover and deficiency completion
As your experience and capabilities develop, you will be given increasing responsibility for managing trades, schedules, site coordination and ultimately your own projects.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have:
- 1–3 years of construction experience, preferably with a general contractor
- Exposure to commercial construction, renovations or interior fit-outs
- Ability to read and understand architectural and construction drawings
- Basic understanding of construction sequencing and trade coordination
- Strong organizational and communication skills
- A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving
- Ability to work effectively with trades, project managers and clients
- Solid attention to detail and commitment to quality
- Willingness to learn from experienced site supervision and accept increasing responsibility
- Ability to work independently when required
- Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation
- Appropriate construction safety training/certifications as required
Procore experience is considered an asset but is not required.
Travel & Scheduling Requirements
Our projects are driven by client schedules and may be located outside the immediate local area. Candidates must therefore be flexible regarding working hours and project location.
The position may require:
- Night work
- Evening or weekend work when required by the project
- Out-of-town assignments
- Travel to projects throughout the province
- Occasional out-of-province assignments
Candidates should be comfortable with the travel and scheduling requirements associated with commercial retail construction.
Career Development
This position is intended to develop into a Site Supervisor role.
You will work alongside experienced construction professionals who can provide practical mentorship in site management, trade coordination, scheduling, quality control, client expectations and project delivery.
We are particularly interested in candidates who are looking beyond their next job and want to build a long-term career with one general contractor. As your knowledge, judgment and leadership capabilities develop, there will be opportunities to take ownership of increasingly complex projects and progress into a full Site Supervisor position.
We value people who demonstrate initiative, reliability, accountability, a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn. Construction knowledge can be developed; attitude,
commitment and the desire to take responsibility are equally important to succeeding in this role.
What We Offer
- Full-time employment with an established commercial general contractor
- Direct mentorship from experienced Senior Site Supervisors
- Hands-on experience on significant commercial and retail projects
- Structured opportunity to progress into a Site Supervisor position
- Exposure to the complete construction process from mobilization through turnover
- Increasing responsibility based on demonstrated ability and performance
- Opportunity to develop a long-term career within the company
- Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications
If you have a foundation in construction and are looking for an opportunity to develop into a professional Site Supervisor, we encourage you to apply.
Due to the sectors we serve and the flexibility of our human capital, background checks will be required as a bona fide occupational qualification.
