Original job description

Forest Fence & Deck - Richmond Hill, ON

Full-time, permanent $23 per hour
40 hours per week

The short version

This is the role that keeps our jobs moving. Material ordered, received, staged and delivered. Locates booked. Yard and trucks organized and ready. You report to our Operations Manager and take the day-to-day operational load off him, so he can stay focused on running projects and looking after clients. If you like being the person who makes sure nothing is missing on crew day one, this is your role.

Who We Are

Forest Fence & Deck has been a premier destination for expert deck design and installation in the GTA for over 40 years. We specialize in transforming outdoor spaces into places people actually want to spend time. Forty years in, we are entering a new phase, and we are building out the team that supports it.

What You'll Be Doing

Your activities will change from day to day, depending on the current priorities.

Activities Will Include

Material and project readiness
Yard, fleet and equipment readiness
Project closeout
Office and administration

Who You'll Work With

You report directly to our Operations Manager and work alongside our field crews, technical designer and office team. Our Operations Manager owns the schedule, project management and permits. Your job is to make sure that schedule is executable.

What We're Looking For

We care more about attitude and organization than a specific resume. The people who do well here are:

Proactive, resourceful and diligent - a doer
Organized and detail-oriented, with a real sense of urgency
Good communicators who can take direction and work as part of a team
Able to multitask, prioritize and stay level under pressure
Comfortable with computers, Excel and Word
Open to learning, and physically able to handle lumber and yard work
Able to manage challenges independently

Requirements

Own vehicle and a valid Ontario driver's license - required
Comfortable driving and loading company trucks
Able to lift and handle construction material
Proficiency in Google Suite (Docs and Sheets)
Forklift experience or certification is a plus
Construction or building-supply experience is a plus

Seasonality - the honest version

Fence and deck work is seasonal and we would rather say so up front. Spring through fall is busy: high material volume, back-to-back deliveries, a full yard. Winter shifts toward maintenance, inventory, equipment servicing, supplier ordering for the coming season, and getting our systems in order. The work continues year-round; the mix of duties changes.

Schedule and location

40 hours per week, Monday to Friday
In person in Richmond Hill, ON, with regular travel to supplier locations and job sites

Forest Fence & Deck is an equal opportunity employer and encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply

Responsibilities

Coordinate material ordering, receiving, staging, and delivery, and ensure job sites, the yard, vehicles, and equipment are ready for crews. Support project closeout and office administration while helping the Operations Manager keep project schedules executable.

Requirements

Candidates should be proactive, organized, detail-oriented, communicative, able to prioritize and work independently, and comfortable using computers and office software. A personal vehicle and valid Ontario driver's license are required, along with the ability to drive and load company trucks and handle construction materials; forklift experience and construction or building-supply experience are advantages.
