Full job description

Position Summary

This is a senior all-rounder role for a carpenter who can triage, execute, and mentor. You’ll be the person we send when a customer calls and the answer isn’t obvious — a ceiling that’s sagging, a finish that’s failing, water damage of unknown scope, a TI that needs a thoughtful sequence. You’ll diagnose the real problem, propose the right fix, and either execute it yourself or lead a small crew to do it. You don’t need to be a formal foreman or project manager (though you should be capable of running both when needed). You do need to be the carpenter our junior staff turn to when they’re stuck — and the one we trust to make decisions on site that we don’t need to second-guess from the office.

What You’ll Do

Service-call triage: attend customer sites, diagnose the underlying problem (not just the symptom), scope the work, and quote or recommend the right solution
Execute the full carpentry spectrum hands-on: framing, drywall hang/board, taping and mudding (Level 4 / Level 5 finish), tile setting and prep, ceiling grid and tile, doors and hardware, millwork and finish carpentry, repairs and patching
Lead a small crew on multi-day jobs — sequence the work, assign tasks, set the quality bar, and keep the schedule
Mentor junior carpenters, apprentices, and labourers — teach by doing, explain why, and build their skill so we can scale the team
Run Field Level Hazard Assessments, lead toolbox talks, and own site-specific safety compliance under our SECOR-certified safety program
Communicate clearly with customers on site — represent Palladio professionally, manage expectations, and escalate to the General Manager when something is out of scope
Provide accurate material take-offs, labour estimates, and progress reporting to the General Manager and project team
Quality-control your own work and the work of the crew — we deliver finished work we’re willing to put our name on
Step into working foreman or project lead duties when the job calls for it; step back into hands-on execution when it doesn’t

What You BringRequired — Competence (formal cert OR equivalent experience)

Either: Alberta Journeyman Carpenter certificate (Red Seal endorsement strongly preferred), OR 10–15+ years of hands-on construction experience that demonstrates equivalent competence — we care about what you can actually do, not just the paper
All-rounder skill set: you’re confident framing, hanging and finishing drywall, taping and mudding to Level 4/5, setting tile, installing ceiling systems, hanging doors, and producing clean finish carpentry
Service-work mindset: you can walk into a job blind, ask the right questions, find the root cause, and propose a fix that actually solves the problem
Comfortable leading 1–4 people on a job, including scheduling the day, sequencing the work, and signing off on quality
Strong communicator with customers, office staff, and the crew — written and verbal

Required — Tickets, Transportation, Documents

Valid Alberta Class 5 driver’s licence with a clean driver’s abstract
Reliable personal transportation to get to and from worksites and service calls — public transit will not provide the flexibility this role requires. Mileage for work-related travel between sites is reimbursed at CRA-recommended rates
Current Fall Protection, WHMIS 2015, Standard First Aid
CSTS-2020 (or equivalent construction safety orientation)
Legally entitled to work in Canada
Clean criminal record check (required for some institutional client sites)

Nice to Have

Red Seal endorsement on your Journeyman Carpenter certificate
Asbestos awareness (Type 1/2) and lead-paint awareness for service work in older buildings
Aerial Work Platform (scissor lift / boom) operator certification
First Aid Instructor / Fall Protection train-the-trainer
Estimating and quoting experience for small-to-medium service and renovation jobs
Experience with institutional or financial-sector tenant work (CIBC, BGIS, similar)

Pay: $35.00-$40.00 per hour

Benefits:

Company events
Dental care
Extended health care
On-site parking
Paid time off
Vision care

Ability to commute/relocate:

Calgary, AB T2C 3G3: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Experience:

Construction: 5 years (preferred)

Language:

English (required)

Licence/Certification:

Driving Licence (required)
Red Seal (preferred)
