Garage Cabinet & Slatwall Installer – Tri-Cities (Port Coquitlam Based)

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | Paid Travel Time | Benefits

We're hiring 1 experienced tradesperson — not entry-level, not "willing to figure it out." If you've spent real years with tools in your hands and you're tired of disorganized job sites, this is a step up.

Garage Living Vancouver builds high-end garage spaces across the Lower Mainland — custom cabinetry, slatwall systems, polyaspartic floor coatings — in finished, occupied homes. Not muddy recent-builds. Precision work you can put your name on.

What You’ll Love:

- Monday to Friday schedule
- 6:30am – 3:00pm (starting and ending at our Port Coquitlam warehouse)
- Paid travel time from the warehouse to job site(s)
- Benefits package
- Consistent indoor work environment year-round
- Cross-training in polyaspartic/epoxy flooring, with room to grow into car lifts and other specialty installs
- Professional, culture-first team environment

If you want variety instead of the same job site for months and adding new skillsets, this is it.

What You’ll Do:

- Install cabinetry and slatwall systems to a tight tolerance: measured, level, flush, first time
- Read the scope of work and execute it without hand-holding
- Be the face of Garage Living on site. Greet clients, walk them through the work, and answer their questions with confidence
- Keep job sites clean and organized. You’re a guest in someone’s home, so protect it and leave it better than you found it
- Catch problems before they become callbacks, and flag them early
- Communicate proactively with the Installation Manager and Ops Manager, not just when something goes wrong




- Cross-train into polyaspartic/epoxy floor coating application, with room to grow into car lifts and other specialty installs

Applicants without carpentry or closely-related trade experience will not move forward in our process.

What You Bring:

- Carpentry experience is a must. Finish carpentry, cabinetmaking, millwork, trim, framing, or renovation carpentry. We’re looking for 2 years of real time on the tools.
- You are confident with using: Skill saw, chop saw, jig saw, level, etc.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle; based in or within ~15km of the Tri-Cities
- Client-ready presence. You’re comfortable talking with homeowners, you communicate clearly, and you present yourself the way a premium brand deserves: clean, courteous, in uniform, and on time
- An eye for detail. You notice when something is 1/16" off, and it bugs you until it’s fixed
- Reliability. You show up every day, on time, without being chased
- Ability to work independently and take direction well
- Physical fitness for a full day on your feet, lifting up to 50 lbs

Construction or trades experience is required — as long as you meet our requirements and eager to learn, we’ll train the right person.

If you cut corners, struggle with punctuality, or need constant supervision, this won’t be a fit.

Who Thrives Here:

You take pride in clean, finished work and you think a step ahead.



You’re good with people and you want to build a real career in the trades. You’re looking for somewhere to land, not somewhere to pass through.
