Position Description Reporting directly to the Superintendent, we’re looking for a Construction Foreman who knows their way around a site and actually enjoys the challenge of bringing a complex mass timber project to life.

We’re growing fast, and we need someone who is a bit of a hybrid – a leader who can mentor the next generation, a problem-solver who doesn’t sweat a tight deadline, and a teammate who isn’t afraid to ask questions to get it right. If you’re self-motivated, obsessed with the details, and ready to help us shape how this division evolves, we should talk.
