Carpenter - Restoration

Job posting

Carpenter - Restoration

About the role

You rebuild. Once the loss is under control and the building is dry, you are the one who brings it back to its original condition: framing, drywall, doors, mouldings, cabinets and finishing.

Unlike new construction, every job is different and you work within existing structures: occupied homes, commercial buildings still in operation, details that must be matched exactly. This is full-scope carpentry, not repetitive work.

Key responsibilities

Reconstruction work:

• Perform framing work: walls, floors, joists and roof structures
• Install and finish drywall, taping and surface preparation
• Install doors, frames, mouldings, baseboards and trim
• Install flooring, cabinetry and countertops
• Match existing finishes and details so repairs blend in seamlessly
• Carry out exterior work: siding, soffits, fascia and windows

On the job site:

• Read and interpret plans, sketches and reconstruction scopes of work
• Estimate material quantities and report needs to the project manager
• Protect the premises and the policyholder's belongings during the work
• Follow health and safety regulations and the Construction Code
• Coordinate your work with the other trades on site
• Promptly report any hidden or unexpected conditions found during the work

What we are looking for

• DEP in carpentry or equivalent recognized experience
• Experience in renovation or restoration work is a strong asset
• CCQ competency card is an asset, but not required
• Versatility: comfortable with both rough framing and finish work
• Autonomy and the ability to work with minimal supervision
• Attention to detail: in restoration, the repair should be invisible
• Professional and tidy: you often work in occupied homes
• Valid ASP Construction (health and safety) card, or willing to obtain one
• Valid driver's licence and personal hand tools

What we offer

• Permanent, full-time position
• Day shift, Monday to Friday
• Salary based on experience and prevailing rates
• Specialized tooling and safety equipment provided
• Location: Salaberry-de-Valleyfield - job sites across Montreal and Monteregie

Why join Première Générale

• No two job sites alike: residential, commercial and institutional
• Real carpentry work: full reconstruction, not repetitive tasks
• Stable day schedule with no emergency on-call rotation
• An experienced, well-established restoration team
• Work that matters: you put people back in their home or business
