Drywall Helper jobs in Surrey, BC

Company Overview
DRYSTAR Wall & Ceiling has been a trusted leader in the commercial construction industry for over 25 years. We specialize in projects such as hospitals, schools, prisons and government buildings, and we work across the region from Chilliwack to Vancouver. Join our dedicated team and build a rewarding career with a company that values long-term commitment and excellence.

We're hiring steel stud framers for our large community centre and library project in Burnaby. We have openings at two levels: experienced framers who can work productively from drawings with little supervision, and apprentices with a year or two of commercial framing behind them who want to keep building their skills on a quality job.

What you'll be doing

• Framing steel stud walls, bulkheads, soffits and ceilings
• Building rated and acoustic assemblies, shaft walls and heavier-gauge framing
• Framing openings, headers and box-outs to drawings and partition schedules
• Installing backing and deflection track where required
• Working with the lead hand and site super to keep the job moving and the work built right the first time
• Keeping your work area clean, organized and safe

What we're looking for

Experienced framers:

• Several years of commercial steel stud framing experience
• Comfortable reading architectural drawings and partition schedules
• Able to work independently and keep pace on a production crew

Apprentices:

• 1-2 years of commercial steel stud framing experience
• A good work ethic and a real interest in learning the trade
• Registered apprentices or those working toward Interior Systems Mechanic certification are encouraged to apply

All candidates:

• Own hand tools, reliable transportation and a valid driver's licence
• Fall protection and WHMIS training (or willing to get certified)
• Red Seal or Journeyperson Interior Systems Mechanic is an asset but not required

Why work with us

• Steady work: this is a long-running project, and our backlog of commercial and institutional work (schools, community centres, healthcare and more) keeps our crews busy for the next couple of years
• Good culture: a team that respects the trade, backs its people and treats you like a professional
• Benefits: Medical/Dental Reimbursement program and RRSP matching
• Competitive pay: based on experience
• Room to grow: we support apprentices through their training and promote from within, with a clear path to lead hand, foreman and superintendent roles

If you take pride in clean, accurate framing and want steady work with a company that looks after its people, we want to hear from you.

Pay: $25.00-$42.00 per hour

Benefits:

• RRSP match
