- Keep the work area organized, safe, and productive by helping with housekeeping, material staging, and basic site support tasks.
What you bring:
- Experience working on civil construction, sewer and water, excavation, or underground servicing crews is an asset.
- Comfort working outdoors in all seasons, around active equipment, open trenches, and busy construction sites.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to stay alert, organized, and responsive in a fast-moving field environment.
- A reliable, team-first approach and a safety-focused mindset.
- Working at Heights certification is considered an asset.
