Relationships are at the core of everything we do. We believe that the small things —like remembering a birthday, following up personally with a client, or taking the time to celebrate team milestones—builds trust and long-term success. We’re looking for someone who shares that belief and wants to bring it to life in a meaningful, behind-the-scenes role.

Job Description:

As a seasoned Construction Site Supervisor/Foreman with a foundation-to-finish focus, you will be a driving force behind the successful execution of construction projects.

The role will involve coordinating and supervising on-site activities, ensuring strict compliance with safety regulations, and collaborating with project managers, subcontractors, and other stakeholders.

This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in clean, precise workmanship and understands how sequencing, planning and quality checks impact the final result.

• Communicate professionally with clients, architects, inspectors, and internal teams.

Documenting & Progress Tracking

• Monitor progress and proactively solve issues that may impact timeline or quality.

Qualifications:

• Proven hands-on experience as a Site Supervisor or Foreman in custom residential and light commercial construction.

• Exceptional attention to detail, especially during finishing stages.

• Ability to read and interpret architectural plans, specifications, and finish details.

• Strong leadership and communication skills, capable of motivating crews and guiding trades.

• In-depth understanding of construction sequencing, safety regulations and quality standards.

• Civic Engineering Tech diploma, Carpentry Certificate, other trade certificates or equivalent experience considered an asset.

Benefits:
