About the Role

We are looking for dependable, hard-working, and fast-paced Skilled Drywallers and Framers to join our dedicated internal division. In this role, you will be a critical driver on our large-scale multi-family apartment buildings and commercial builds. Whether you are a seasoned framing/boarding professional or an up-and-coming installer looking to max out your skillset, we offer a high-production, inclusive environment with plenty of room to advance your career.

Key Responsibilities

• Framing & Drywalling: Measure, cut, and construct both metal and wood stud frameworks, and efficiently install drywall panels for multi-family apartment units and commercial spaces.
• System Installations: Install thermal and acoustic insulation and apply professional caulking to meet strict building codes and quality standards.
• Production Pace & Collaboration: Work effectively in a high-production, fast-paced environment alongside other site teams to keep project phases ahead of schedule.
• Hands-on Development: Take pride in your craftsmanship while remaining open to coaching, or bring your seasoned expertise to help mentor junior installers on the crew.
• Site Maintenance & Safety: Take initiative in keeping individual units and broader commercial job sites clean, organized, and running safely.

What We’re Looking For

• The Experience: Solid experience in commercial or multi-family residential (apartment) framing, boarding, or finishing. Experience with both wood and metal framing is a strong asset.
• Specialized Skills: Experience working comfortably on stilts is considered a major asset for high-production boarding and finishing.
• Mindset: Someone who shows up ready to work, takes real pride in tight joints and straight studs, and brings a team-first attitude.

• Mobility: A valid Manitoba driver’s licence and a reliable vehicle to travel to various job sites within Winnipeg.
• Physical Capabilities: The ability to lift 50+ lbs, stand for extended periods, and work safely on ladders, scaffolding, and at heights.
