About Us:

Bretoba Contracting is a foundation-to-finish construction company known for quality work, collaborative leadership, and strong community values. As our work has expanded into project management and development, and our leadership team supports the operations of multiple businesses.

Relationships are at the core of everything we do. We believe that the small things -- like remembering a birthday, following up personally with a client, or taking the time to celebrate team milestones-- builds trust and long-term success. We're looking for someone who shared that belief and wants to bring it to life in a meaningful, behind-the-scenes role.

Job Description:

As a seasoned Construction Site Supervisor/Foreman with a foundation-to-finish focus, you will be a driving force behind the successful execution of construction projects. We are seeking an individual with extensive on-site building experience and a hands-on approach. This role calls for someone with an exceptional eye for detail, strong sequencing skills, and the ability to guide trades and crews through complex, custom work. The role will involve coordinating and supervising on-site activities, ensuring strict compliance with safety regulations, and collaborating with project managers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in clean, precise workmanship and understands how sequencing, planning, and quality checks impact the final result.

Key Responsibilities:

Hands-On Site Leadership

  • Oversee daily on-site operations, guiding crews and trades through each stage of the build—from early construction through finishing.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, well-organized site; conduct regular safety meetings and inspections.
  • Act as the on-site foreman, assigning tasks and stepping in hands-on when needed.

Quality & Detail Management

  • Perform continuous quality checks, catching issues early and ensuring every stage meets design intent and project specifications.
  • Protect the final fit-and-finish standard by monitoring craftsmanship, alignment, sequencing, and material installation techniques.
  • Maintain an exceptional eye for detail.

Coordination & Communication

  • Coordinate material deliveries, subcontractors, trade sequencing, and logistics.
  • Collaborate with project managers on plans, schedules, and budgets.
  • Communicate professionally with clients, architects, inspectors, and internal teams.

Documentation & Progress Tracking

  • Maintain accurate daily records of labour, materials, equipment usage, and site activities.
  • Monitor progress and proactively solve issues that may impact timeline or quality.

Qualifications:

  • Proven hands-on experience as a Site Supervisor or Foreman in custom residential construction and light commercial.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, especially during finishing stages.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural plans, specifications, and finish details.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, capable of motivating crews and guiding trades.
  • In-depth understanding of construction sequencing, safety regulations, and quality standards.
  • Civic Engineering Tech diploma, Carpentry Certificate, other trade certificates or equivalent experience considered an asset.
  • Class 5 driver's license required.
  • Surveying experience is an asset.

Benefits:

  • On-site amenities
  • Worker housing provided for 1 year
  • Wellness program (after probationary period)
  • Deferred profit-sharing plan (DPSP) (after 6 month period)

Wage range: $80,000-120,000 per year (plus potential for performance-based bonus or wage increase)

Hours 50-60 hours a week
