• Maintain a steady work pace to meet production goals in a fast-paced environment.
• Follow all safety procedures and guidelines, including proper use of PPE and tools.
• Keep work areas organized, clean, and free of hazards to support a safe and efficient yard and warehouse environment.
• Collaborate with team members and supervisors to resolve issues and improve build quality and efficiency.
• Adapt to working both indoors and outdoors, adjusting to changing weather conditions while maintaining productivity.
• Participate in training to learn trailer assembly methods and progress toward working independently with minimal supervision.

Essential Skills

• Proficiency in using basic hand tools and power tools safely and efficiently.
• Ability to perform basic carpentry tasks, including measuring, cutting, and assembling materials.
• Experience in construction or general labor work in a production or yard environment.

• Basic electrical experience is a plus, particularly related to cabling or trailer builds.
• Familiarity with BC cabling or similar cabling work is helpful.
• Ability to work independently after training, demonstrating self-sufficiency in daily tasks.
• Willingness to learn new construction techniques and adapt to standardized production processes.

Why Work Here?

You will enjoy a stable schedule with consistent full-time hours and the potential for overtime, providing reliable income and opportunities to increase your earnings. The organization offers clear room for growth, including the possibility to advance into leadership or management roles as you develop your skills. Safety is a core part of the culture, with a strong focus on training, protective equipment, and safe work practices. Tools and PPE are provided, so you can focus on doing quality work while being supported with the resources you need.

Work Environment

This role is based in a large construction yard that includes warehouse buildings with 20-foot garage doors designed to move trailers under cover while work is performed. You will work both outside and inside, with warehouse doors closed during rain or cold weather to provide shelter, and opened during warm months so the environment feels similar to working outdoors in the summer. The setting is a production-oriented construction environment with trailers moved in and out of covered bays. The typical schedule is Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with potential adjustments as needed. Work involves regular use of hand and power tools, adherence to safety procedures, and wearing appropriate PPE provided on site.
