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
