Monday to Friday, day shift. Home every night, no camps and no rotations.
We build shops — residential, commercial, and farm. Post-frame and wood-framed structures, start to finish. The cladding is the part the customer sees for the next twenty years, and it's the part we're most particular about.
This posting is for a Level 2 cladder. That means two to three years on the tools and enough time on metal that we can hand you a standard wall and walk away. You're not expected to know everything yet. You're expected to run the ordinary work to standard on your own, and to ask before you touch anything unusual.
If you can run a straight screw line, keep your overlap right, and put your hand up when something doesn't look correct instead of screwing it down anyway, we want to talk to you.
The cladding work:
- Wall and roof panel installation on post-frame and wood-framed structures
- Correct panel overlap, fastener spacing, and straight screw lines, no wandering rows
- Trim work: base, corner, J-trim, eave and rake, ridge cap, gable trim, closures
- Flashing and trimming out overhead door, man door, and window openings
- Cutting panel cleanly and keeping hot shavings off finished metal
- Working off ladders, scaffold, and lifts at height
- Checking your own work before it moves to the next stage
If you've also framed post-frame — setting posts, girts, purlins, trusses, bracing — that's a strong plus. Our crews build the structure and clad it, so the more of that sequence you know, the faster you move up the ladder.
What your day looks like:
- Show up on time, in PPE, ready to go before the huddle starts
- Take your assignments at the morning huddle and get moving
- Run standard tasks on your own, to a standard that doesn't need correcting
- Work off a job sheet and take your own measurements on the ordinary stuff
- Ask your Lead Hand before anything out of the ordinary. That's the job at this level, not a failing
- Start showing the Site Assist and 1st year guys how to do what you already know
- Flag problems the moment you see them
- Clean your area and secure materials and tools before you leave
What you need:
- 2-3 years of construction experience, with real time on metal cladding
- Comfortable with hand and power tools; can work from a job sheet and simple drawings
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver's licence
- Willing to work outdoors year-round in Alberta weather
- Steel toes worn every day, every site
- Able to lift, climb, and work at heights
Nice to have: first aid, fall protection ticket, forklift or telehandler experience, post-frame framing experience, own hand tools.
What we're actually looking for. We can teach building. We can't teach these:
- You own your mistakes. If you cut it wrong, you say so right away.
- You show up. On time, ready, 95%+ of the time. If you're going to be late, you call before your start time, not after.
- You don't freelance. The Lead Hand sets the plan. You execute your part and speak up if something's off.
- You're still learning. Every rung here has a skills threshold, and we'll tell you exactly what yours is.
- You take pride in how it looks. A crooked screw line is the first thing a customer notices, and the last thing they forget.
What we offer:
- $26-$29/hr depending on what you can carry without help, not on how long you've been in the trade
- A real ladder with a number on every rung: Site Assist, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Lead Hand. You'll be told which rung you're on, what the one above pays, and what has to be true before you get there
- A written 90-day review with a planned raise if you're performing
- Year-round work, we're not a seasonal outfit
- Structured training, weekly toolbox talks, and 30/60/90-day reviews
Photos of cladding work you're proud of will move you to the top of the pile.
Pay: $26.00-$29.00 per hour

- Dental care
