Position Summary

NUQO Modular is seeking an Assistant Site Superintendent / Construction Safety Officer for a five-storey, publicly funded modular housing project in Burnaby, BC.

This is primarily a safety role. You will lead safety on site and, under the direction of our Site Superintendent, support day to day operations. Public projects come with more approvals, documentation and consultant oversight than private work, and you will be comfortable working in that environment.

- Track and close out quality items in FTQ360, our field quality management platform.
- Support deficiency lists and closeout processes.

Mentorship & Collaboration
