Construction Labourer

Are you ready to build something that lasts?

Fredericton Contractors is hiring motivated Construction Labourers for apartment and commercial building projects in Fredericton and surrounding areas. From schools and hospitals to dealerships, warehouses, and apartment complexes — you'll be part of projects you can point to years from now and proudly say, "I helped build that."

If you like rolling up your sleeves, getting your hands dirty, and working outdoors in all kinds of weather, this could be a great fit for you. The job is physical — you'll be lifting, carrying, and moving materials all day — but if you enjoy staying active and see hard work as good exercise, you'll thrive here. If you're the type who likes things neat, tidy, and organized, you'll fit right in, since keeping the site clean and safe is a big part of the role.

This is steady, full-time work with reliable hours and the chance to build something you can be proud of. On top of competitive pay ($23–$28/hr), you'll also get health and dental coverage, RRSP matching, life insurance, and recognition for your hard work. Most importantly, you'll be part of a supportive crew that values safety, teamwork, and having each other's backs.

If you're looking for a desk job or something low key, or don't enjoy working outdoors in all kinds of weather, this isn't the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Assist tradespeople and supervisors on site as directed
• Load, unload, and move tools, equipment, and construction materials around the site
• Keep the site clean, safe, and organized (housekeeping, sweeping, waste removal)
• Operate hand tools, power tools, and small equipment safely
• Pour and spread materials such as concrete and sand
• Carry and place building materials (lumber, insulation, doors, etc.)
• Perform basic measuring, cutting, and assembly tasks
• Help open and close the site each day — setting out and putting away tools and equipment
• Assist in erecting and dismantling temporary structures and barriers
• Pick up or deliver tools and materials

What It Takes to Succeed

• You take pride in working hard, staying focused, and getting tasks done efficiently
• Reliable: show up on time, ready to work every day
• Physically fit: able to lift and carry heavy materials
• Flexible: willing to work outdoors in all weather conditions
• Safety-minded: you'll be part of a team where safety is taken seriously and shortcuts aren't tolerated
• Positive attitude: cooperative, dependable, and respectful toward others
• Team player who can also work independently when needed
• Comfortable taking direction and feedback in a straightforward industry
• Organized, hardworking, and eager to keep learning and growing

What We're Looking For

• This role is best suited to candidates with at least 2 - 3 years of similar construction or labouring experience (preferably on a building construction site)
• Applicants with more experience will be considered
• Valid driver's licence with no major infractions
• Experience with small equipment (skid steers, compactors) is not required but would be an asset
• Willingness to work longer hours when required

What You'll Get

• $23–$28 per hour, based on experience (includes vacation pay)
• Full-time permanent role (40–44 hours per week)
• Hours: 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (4pm on Fridays)
• Health & wellness coverage (prescriptions, dental, vision)
• Employee Assistance Program
• Life insurance and LTD
• RRSP (pension) matching
• Employee recognition program
• Opportunities to grow into other roles such as labourer foreman, equipment operator, or apprentice carpenter
• Work with a supportive crew that values safety, teamwork, and having each other's backs

Location & Travel

• Primary location is Fredericton and surrounding areas
• Workers report directly to job sites (no central yard/office)
• Occasional out-of-town work may be required, with notice provided
