Carpenter
Valdek Construction Inc. — Winnipeg, MB _ Full-time, year-round $28–$34/hour_
Build real skills on real projects, year-round. Valdek Construction is a Winnipeg renovation company specializing in home additions, basement renovations, and full home remodels. We’re hiring a Carpenter to work alongside our Lead Carpenter on quality residential builds — with steady hours, interior work through the winter, and a clear path to grow into a lead role.
Why this job is different
- $28–$34/hour depending on experience and certification
- Year-round, full-time work — interior projects through the winter. No seasonal layoffs.
- Done at noon on Fridays. 9-hour days Monday–Thursday, 4 hours Friday.
- Weekends are yours. The odd weekend comes up on a deadline, but it’s rare and we schedule around your life.
- Learn from strong leads: work directly under an experienced Lead Carpenter who teaches, not just delegates
- A real growth path: we develop carpenters into Lead Carpenters — and we support apprenticeship training along the way
- Benefits after 90 days — dental, drug, and health practitioner coverage (75% employer paid) — plus sick days
- $500/year tool allowance after 90 days, and Valdek-branded work wear
- Crew meetings in-house every third Friday — your input shapes how we build
What you’ll do
- Obtain measurements and calculate the size and amount of material needed
- Cut, shape, and install framing, insulation, drywall, trim, cabinets, shelving, doors, and finishing hardware
- Read blueprints and drawings and help turn them into a plan for the day’s work
- Work at an efficient pace and take care of tools and equipment to help keep projects on or under budget
- Keep the jobsite clean, safe, and orderly; tools and materials put away at the end of the day
- Communicate with clients in a friendly, professional manner when needed
- Report any vehicle, equipment, or tool damage to the Lead Carpenter immediately
Who we’re looking for
- 2+ years of carpentry experience — residential renovation experience is a strong asset; registered apprentices are welcome to apply
- Takes pride in craft and genuine satisfaction in a quality product
- Plans ahead: thinks about the next step before starting the current one
- Punctual, respectful, presentable, and driven to keep learning
- Class 5 driver’s licence and reliable transportation to jobsites
