Build great projects. Take pride in your work. Grow with us.

Neighbourhood Contractors is a growing residential renovation and construction business looking for an experienced Lead Renovator / Lead Carpenter to join our team.

We specialize in residential renovations, secondary-unit conversions, multi-unit construction, decks, and fences. With several exciting projects coming up, including secondary-unit conversions and a new multi-unit build, we're looking for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in doing things right, and can confidently take the lead on site.

We're a small business that believes in good workmanship, treating people well, and creating a positive work environment. You'll work directly with the owner, with the opportunity to take ownership of your work, help train a labourer or apprentice, and grow into a larger leadership role as the business continues to expand.

What You'll Be Doing

- Completing residential renovation and construction work with minimal supervision.
- Taking a scope of work provided by the owner and seeing it through to completion.
- Leading and directing a labourer or apprentice on the job site.
- Working on secondary-unit conversions, multi-unit residential construction, and general renovations.
- Performing a variety of carpentry and finishing work, including framing, drywall, mudding and taping, flooring, cabinetry, trim, and tiling.
- Building decks, fences, and other exterior structures.
- Organizing daily tasks, planning the work, and keeping projects moving efficiently.
- Ensuring work is completed safely and to a high standard.
- Identifying potential problems, finding practical solutions,



and communicating with the owner when needed.
- Keeping job sites organized and making efficient use of materials and time.

What We're Looking For

- Experience in residential renovations, carpentry, or residential construction.
- Solid practical skills and an understanding of residential construction methods.
- The ability to work independently and manage your time effectively.
- Confidence directing another worker and helping them develop their skills.
- A positive attitude, reliability, and pride in the quality of your work.
- Good problem-solving skills and the ability to recognize when to ask questions.
- A valid driver's licence and reliable transportation.
- The ability to communicate clearly and work well as part of a small team.
- A criminal record check is required as a condition of employment.

We're not expecting one person to know absolutely everything. We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in residential construction who is comfortable taking responsibility and willing to keep learning.

Compensation & Wage Scale

$30–$35 per hour, depending on experience and skill level.

We believe in recognizing valuable work and rewarding people as they develop their skills and take on more responsibility.
