About Cozy Carpentry
We are a custom residential builder focused on high-quality exterior structures and specialty projects — including pergolas, decks, fences, sauna, and other one-off builds. Our work is not production or cookie-cutter. Most projects require careful layout, problem-solving, and a very high level of finish.

We’re looking for an experienced Journeyman Carpenter / Working Foreman who can lead small crews and take ownership of site execution from start to finish.

The Role

This is a hands-on leadership position. You’ll be running small crews, planning the work ahead, and making sure projects are built properly, efficiently, and to a high standard.

The right person is comfortable thinking on their feet, solving problems in the field, and keeping projects moving without constant direction.

Key Responsibilities

Crew & Site Leadership

  • Lead a 2–4 person crew on custom carpentry projects
  • Plan daily and weekly workflow to maintain steady progress
  • Maintain clean, organized, professional job sites
  • Train and support junior crew members
  • Uphold company quality standards on every build

Project Execution

  • Read and interpret drawings and site details
  • Perform layout and construction for custom carpentry work
  • Execute framing, exterior finishing, and specialty installs
  • Monitor material needs and communicate shortages early
  • Troubleshoot site issues as they arise

Quality & Communication

  • Ensure work meets specification and finish expectations
  • Provide clear progress updates from site
  • Identify potential delays or issues early
  • Represent the company professionally when interacting with clients

Requirements

  • Journeyman Carpenter certification (or equivalent proven experience)
  • Strong layout and structural carpentry skills
  • Demonstrated experience leading small crews
  • Ability to work from drawings with minimal supervision
  • Solid problem-solving ability in the field
  • Valid driver’s license, clean driver's abstract, and reliable transportation
  • Professional attitude and strong work ethic
  • Physically capable of performing hands-on carpentry work

Why Work With Us

  • Projects are highly custom and varied — not repetitive subdivision work
  • Small, tight-knit crew where your work actually matters
  • Strong focus on clean execution and craftsmanship
  • Consistent pipeline of interesting exterior and specialty builds
  • Opportunity to grow with a quality-focused company
  • Competitive pay based on experience

Hiring Process

  • Email a photo of a piece of furniture you’ve built for yourself to Info@cozycarpentry.ca. Applications without one won’t be considered.
  • Shortlisted candidates complete a paid practical build and a planning exercise based on a set of project drawings.

Compensation & Schedule

  • Pay Range: $38.00–$45.00 per hour (based on experience)
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday, with opportunities for overtime, weekends, and holidays as needed

Expected Start Date: January 2027(Flexible for the right candidate)

If you want to grow as both a craftsman and a leader while building projects you can be proud of, we’d like to hear from you.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $38.00-$45.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week

Application question(s):

  • Briefly describe a project where you were responsible for layout and crew leadership from start to finish.
  • On custom projects, things rarely go exactly to plan. Describe a time you encountered an unexpected site issue and how you handled it.
  • How many years of experience do you have leading a small crew (2–4 people) on residential projects?
  • What types of custom exterior projects have you personally laid out and built?

Licence/Certification:

  • Driving Licence (required)
  • Red Seal (required)

Work Location: In person
