Who We Are

Forest Fence & Deck has been a premier destination for expert deck design and installation in the GTA for over 40 years. We specialize in transforming outdoor spaces into places people actually want to spend time. Forty years in, we are entering a new phase, and we are building out the team that supports it.

What Youll Be Doing

Your activities will change from day to day, depending on the current priorities.

Activities will include

• Material and project readiness
• Yard, fleet and equipment readiness
• Project closeout
• Office and administration

Who Youll Work With

You report directly to our Operations Manager and work alongside our field crews, technical designer and office team.



Our Operations Manager owns the schedule, project management and permits. Your job is to make sure that schedule is executable.

What Were Looking For

We care more about attitude and organization than a specific resume. The people who do well here are:

• Proactive, resourceful and diligent — a doer
• Organized and detail-oriented, with a real sense of urgency
• Good communicators who can take direction and work as part of a team
• Able to multitask, prioritize and stay level under pressure
• Comfortable with computers, Excel and Word
• Open to learning, and physically able to handle lumber and yard work
• Able to manage challenges independently

Requirements

• Own vehicle and a valid Ontario drivers license — required
• Comfortable driving and loading company trucks
• Able to lift and handle construction material
• Proficiency in Google Suite (Docs and Sheets)
• Forklift experience or certification is a plus
• Construction or building-supply experience is a plus

Seasonality — the honest version

Fence and deck work is seasonal and we would rather say so up front. Spring through fall is busy: high material volume, back-to-back deliveries, a full yard. Winter shifts toward maintenance, inventory, equipment servicing, supplier ordering for the coming season, and getting our systems in order. The work continues year-round; the mix of duties changes.

Schedule and location

• 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
• In person in Richmond Hill, ON, with regular travel to supplier locations and job sites
