Original job description
This is a varied, hands-on position covering many aspects of residential construction. Our projects range from new builds to renovations, giving our crew the opportunity to work across multiple stages of the building process.
Typical work may include foundations, framing, roofing, insulating, drywall, painting, exterior work and general carpentry. There may also be opportunities for tractor operation, excavation and other site work depending on the project and the individual’s experience.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys variety, is comfortable moving between different types of work and takes pride in contributing to a project from the early stages through to completion.
No two days at Saltaire are exactly the same. Depending on the project, you could be working on a new build, a renovation, exterior work, framing, finishing, site preparation or helping move a project through its next stage.
Our days are hands-on and collaborative. You’ll work alongside a small crew, take direction when needed and also be expected to recognize what needs to be done and take initiative. Some days are fast-paced and physical, while others require patience, problem-solving and attention to detail.
We work hard, keep things moving and take pride in leaving the job site knowing we’ve made solid progress and done the work well.
At Saltaire, we believe a strong crew is built on mutual respect, a shared work ethic and pride in what we accomplish together.
We value people who show up ready to contribute, take responsibility for their work and are willing to step in wherever needed. Everyone brings different skills and experience to the job site, and we believe those differences make the team stronger.
We work hard, communicate openly and treat one another with respect. We also believe there’s room for humour and personality along the way. At the end of the day, our goal is simple: do good work, support each other.
Benefits & opportunities are based on experience and availability.
