- annual budget allocated to key staff education and training

**This is a full-time (40hr/week, Monday to Friday) seasonal role. Depending on weather, it starts early April and concludes in early December. Rarely do we ask for overtime. There are too many fun things to do in Whistler to work all the time.**

- Interact with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of job materials
- Set daily and weekly goals to ensure your crew meets targets
- Coach, teach and motivate your crew with the aim of improving quality, productivity, safety and morale over time
- Liase with client and/or general contractor on a daily basis as needed

- Job paperwork:

- Read through job packages thoroughly before commencing a job
