The Opportunity

EMBERS Staffing is looking for an experienced Carpenter to support active construction project in Nanaimo. This is hands-on work where your craftsmanship and knowledge of the trade will be put to use from day one — working alongside site supervisors and crews to deliver quality results on time and to code.

It is a long term job opportunity with one of our major clients in construction.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Reading and interpreting blueprints and technical drawings to plan and execute carpentry work accurately
  • Assisting site supervisors with structural layout, planning, and installation across various phases of construction
  • Installing and repairing doors, windows, drywall, cabinets, stairs, and other fixtures to a high standard of finish
  • Assessing the quality of woodwork and materials on site, identifying deficiencies and ensuring work meets project specifications
  • Operating hand tools and power tools efficiently throughout the workday
  • Ensuring all work complies with BC Building Codes, WorkSafeBC regulations, and site-specific health and safety requirements
  • Working in a physically demanding environment — this role requires prolonged standing, climbing, lifting, and carrying heavy materials

What You Need

  • Minimum 3 years of experience with carpentry work
  • In-depth knowledge of BC Building Codes and how they apply to residential and commercial construction
  • Ability to read and work from blueprints and technical drawings with confidence
  • Comfortable operating a range of hand and power tools
  • Strong communicator — you can coordinate clearly with tradespeople, vendors, and crew members on a busy job site
  • Able to manage multiple tasks and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment without compromising quality or safety

Why Work With EMBERS Staffing?

EMBERS Staffing is not your typical agency. Founded in Vancouver in 2008, we are a social enterprise owned by a registered Canadian charity — which means every dollar of profit is reinvested back into programs that directly benefit our workers:

  • Free tool and equipment rentals
  • Access to certified skills training
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Wellness Program
  • Competitive hourly wages and regular work opportunities

We have been placing workers across Metro Vancouver for over 15 years, and we take pride in supporting the people who power our community.
