Ready to work hard, learn, and build something worthwhile?

Franklin General Contracting is looking for a reliable Construction Labourer to support our residential construction and general contracting crews.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in being dependable, and wants to contribute to a team that values quality, safety, and accountability.

You don't need to be an experienced carpenter to apply. We're open to candidates who are recent to construction and willing to learn, as well as those who already have experience using tools and supporting skilled tradespeople.

The right person will be ready to help wherever needed, follow instructions, and take pride in doing the small things well. For candidates with the right interests and abilities, there may also be opportunities to develop skills in job-site documentation and construction technology.

Franklin General Contracting is a family-owned design/build contractor serving South Glengarry, Cornwall, and the surrounding SD&G; area.

For candidates who are comfortable with technology, there may also be opportunities to take job-site photos, upload project information to JobTread, and support other basic documentation tasks.

What We're Looking For

- A dependable attitude and willingness to learn.
