About Us

Frost Building Systems is a leading insulated-metal-panel and architectural cladding contractor based in Brantford, Ontario. We design, supply, install and service building envelope systems for cold storage, food processing, industrial and commercial facilities, with roughly sixty active projects at any given time. We are a growing, family-owned business with an in-house drafting team, a service division, construction division and a metal-fabrication operation.

The Chance

We are hiring a Business Associate to work directly with our President — an ideal first role for a recent university or college graduate who wants to see how a whole business actually runs.

You will sit at the centre of the company and help it grow: improving how we work, measuring how we are doing, and getting our name in front of more customers. You will work on our systems, our numbers and our marketing alongside the President and senior managers. Few roles offer this much exposure, this early, to how decisions get made at the top of a company.

This role is a starting point. As you learn the business, there is room to grow into other parts of the company — account management, project management or another area that suits your strengths.
