Construction Jobs in Canada

Construction jobs include labourers, carpenters, equipment operators, concrete finishers, roofers, site supervisors and estimators. Residential building, road work and large industrial projects all hire, with the most activity from spring through fall.

General labourer roles are open to people without experience, provided you have safety boots, are physically able and hold the basic safety tickets your province expects. From there, many workers move into an apprenticeship in a specific trade. Employers will ask whether you have transportation, because sites change and start early. For the certified route, see skilled trades jobs and our trades career guide.
