As a proudly Canadian, family-owned business and 2024 Retailer of the Year, we're pretty passionate about building more than just homes. We're building a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and genuinely enjoy showing up each day.

We're looking for an experienced Drywall Crane Operator who knows their stuff, takes pride in a job well done, and brings a positive attitude along for the ride!

The Opportunity

We're on the lookout for a skilled and dependable crane operator to join our delivery team!

This isn't just another driving position. We're looking for someone with strong technical crane operating skills, extensive knowledge of lumber and building materials, and, most importantly, hands-on experience delivering and placing drywall safely and efficiently.

A significant portion of this role will be dedicated to servicing our drywall customers, so we're looking for someone who understands the unique challenges of drywall deliveries, from navigating busy construction sites to safely positioning materials exactly where they're needed.

You'll be an important part of our customers' projects and a familiar, friendly face representing our team out in the community.

If you're someone who can confidently handle a challenging lift, think on your feet, and still share a laugh with the crew, we think you'll fit right in!

What You'll Be Doing

- Operating our 22-tonne vehicle-mounted boom crane to safely deliver and place drywall, lumber, and a wide range of building materials.
- Taking the lead on drywall-focused deliveries, including safe material handling, precise placement, and navigating the unique demands of residential and commercial construction sites.




- Working confidently with a variety of lumber and building products, understanding their handling requirements and safe delivery practices.
- Providing exceptional customer service and building positive relationships with contractors, customers, and fellow team members.
- Safely loading, securing, transporting, and unloading materials using appropriate equipment and procedures.
- Conducting pre-trip and post-trip inspections and keeping your equipment in great working condition.
- Maintaining accurate delivery documentation and following all applicable safety standards.
- Working collaboratively with our dispatch, yard, and delivery teams to keep things running smoothly.

What You'll Bring to the Team We're looking for someone who brings more than just the right tickets. Experience, good judgment, a great attitude, and pride in your work go a long way around here!

The Must-Haves:

- BC Crane Certification Level A, 22-tonne (Required).
- Valid Class 1 or Class 3 driver's licence with air brake endorsement (Required).
- Clean driver's abstract.
- Demonstrated experience operating a vehicle-mounted crane, particularly with drywall deliveries and placement.
- Strong working knowledge of lumber, drywall, and a broad range of building materials.
- Confidence navigating construction sites, assessing lift conditions, and safely placing materials in challenging environments.
- A strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and treating people well.
- Ability to work in a physically demanding, outdoor environment and safely handle materials weighing up to 100 lbs.

A Few Extra Gold Stars If You Have:





- Forklift certification and/or Moffett experience.
- Extensive drywall delivery, packing, and placement experience.
- Previous experience servicing residential and commercial contractors.
- A natural ability to problem-solve, adapt, and keep a positive attitude when the day throws you a curveball!

Why You'll Love Working With Us We know that great people have choices, and we want to be the kind of employer you're proud to choose.

Here's a little of what you can expect:

- Competitive wages that recognize your experience and expertise.
- Comprehensive benefits package.
