  • Maintain accurate records of materials and completed work
  • Mentor apprentices and train new workers on tools, materials, and techniques
  • Communicate progress, issues, and solutions with team and supervisors
  • Identify potential quality or safety issues and take corrective action promptly
  • Keep work area clean, organized, and hazard-free

What We're Looking For

  • Minimum 3–5 years of architectural sheet metal experience (commercial or industrial preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of panel systems, flashing, layout, and fabrication
  • Experience leading small crews or acting as a designated Lead Hand is an asset
  • Ability to read and interpret drawings and shop details accurately
  • Valid Fall Protection and WHMIS certifications (First Aid and Aerial Lift tickets are assets)
  • Reliable transportation and willingness to work out of town when required
  • Positive attitude, strong communication skills, and attention to detail

  • Competitive wages based on experience and ticket status
  • Monday–Friday schedule with optional overtime
  • Extended health & dental benefits
  • RRSP matching program
  • Paid vacation and time off
  • Apprenticeship and training support
  • Strong leadership culture with advancement opportunities, including Foreman roles
