We are hiring a Site Assistant / Carpenter for a fixed-term position on our new McDonald's restaurant build in Penticton, BC — a ground-up, single-storey wood-frame quick-service restaurant at 698 Eckhardt Ave W.

- Energetic — takes on challenges with enthusiasm
- Humble — willing to admit a mistake and take ownership
- Personable — builds solid relationships with trade partners and co-workers
- Reliable — dependable and punctual — on site before trades, stays after they leave
Qualifications:
- 3+ years' experience in the construction industry
- Carpentry ticket or trade qualification an asset — we welcome apprentices (Level 1, 2, 3) and Red Seal Carpenters
- Solid hands-on construction knowledge — understanding of the construction process, materials, tools and machinery, and trade sequencing
- Ability to work independently without close supervision

- Must have independent transportation and the ability to get to the Penticton site
