  • Strip and prepare forms safely and efficiently.

Landscape Carpentry & Structures

  • Collaborate with designers and project managers to ensure design intent and quality standards are met.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work area.

Quality & Safety

  • Uphold Fossil's high standards for accuracy, craftsmanship, and finish quality.
  • Follow company safety protocols and ensure safe use of tools and equipment.
  • Work efficiently outdoors year-round in varying conditions.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Minimum 5 years of carpentry experience, including architectural and detailed concrete formwork.
  • Experience constructing outdoor landscape structures such as decks, pergolas, and fences.
  • Strong understanding of form design and construction, rise over run calculations, and the 3-4-5 method and other basic construction math formulas
  • Proficient with hand tools, power tools, and concrete forming systems (snap ties, walers, bracing).
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings and elevations.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to high-quality finishes.
  • Positive attitude, reliability, and a strong work ethic.
  • Comfortable working outdoors year-round.

Compensation & Benefits

At Fossil, we take care of our people. Here's what you can expect:

  • Competitive wages: $32–$40/hour based on experience.
  • Eligible for annual performance bonus.
  • Company-matched group savings plan (RRSP, TFSA, and savings).
  • Extended health benefits – dental, vision, prescriptions, health care, life & disability insurance.
  • Excellent training and professional development opportunities within a career-oriented company culture.
