● Follow instructions, meet deadlines, and take pride in quality work.
What We’re Looking For:

● Professional, motivated, and focused on safety.
● Interest in sustainable building and Passive House construction.
Requirements:
● Valid Alberta driver’s license and own transportation.
● Own tools and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
● First Aid, Fall Protection, Red Seal, or Carpenter Certificates are assets.
● Must be legally able to work in Canada.
