  • Basic familiarity with hand tools and construction environments
  • Reliability showing up on time and ready to work

Required Tools & Requirements

  • Tool belt and basic hand tools (hammer, nail puller, etc.)
  • Valid driver's licence (ability to tow or interest in learning to tow is an asset)
  • Ability to reliably commute to Shawnigan Lake, BC

Experience & Education

  • Previous construction, carpentry, or labour experience is an asset but not mandatory
  • Interest in excavation, trucking, or equipment operation is considered a strong asset
  • Secondary School education preferred
  • English language proficiency required

What We Offer

  • Starting wage of $22–25/hr, with room to grow
  • Apprenticeship opportunities for committed individuals
  • Hands-on experience with custom homes, excavation, and site services
  • Exposure to truck, trailer, and equipment operation with training over time
  • Clear expectations, strong leadership, and real mentorship
  • Long-term advancement opportunities for those who take ownership of their role

  • Are interested in both carpentry and site services (excavation, trucking, trailering)
  • Take pride in clean, safe, well-run job sites
  • Are looking for a long-term opportunity with growth potential
  • Want to develop into a skilled tradesperson or site leader
