The LHC is responsible for overseeing and executing carpentry work on residential and/or commercial construction projects as assigned. This role involves assisting the Site Superintendent with work as assigned and leading a team of Trade Partners and labourers, ensuring quality craftsmanship, maintaining safety standards, and keeping project site work on schedule, within budget, and of the highest quality standards.

Assign tasks, set work schedules, and ensure efficient workflow on-site.
Collaborate with project managers, site supervisors, and other trades to maintain smooth operations and schedule adherence.
Act as the primary point of contact for carpentry-related concerns and troubleshooting.

Quality Control & Safety Compliance

Inspect work to ensure it meets company standards, building codes, and client expectations.
Enforce safety protocols and compliance with Occupational Health & Safety regulations.
Conduct site hazard assessments and implement corrective measures as needed.
Ensure tools, equipment, and materials are used and maintained properly.

Project Coordination & Problem-Solving

Monitor project progress to the six-week look-ahead schedule, and report any delays, issues, or material shortages to supervisors.
Assist in estimating material requirements and ordering supplies.
Identify and resolve construction challenges to keep projects on schedule.
Work efficiently to minimize waste and maximize productivity.

Administrative & Reporting Duties

Maintain records of work completed, materials used, and any site issues.
Assist in time tracking, job costing, and documenting progress.
Communicate with Superintendents and Project Manager regarding project status and any necessary adjustments.

Qualifications & Experience

Journeyman Carpenter Certification or willingness to work towards a Journeyman Ticket.
Minimum of 3+ years of hands-on carpentry experience, including leadership roles.
Strong understanding of construction techniques, materials, and building codes.
Ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings.

Ensure compliance with company policies, legal requirements, and industry standards.
Maintain stringent health, safety, and environmental standards.
