Your Responsibilities
As a Journeyman Carpenter at ACL, you'll be an experienced, capable contributor on site — executing quality work, mentoring those around you, and taking ownership of your scope. Key responsibilities include:

- Read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings independently; flag discrepancies or concerns to your Foreman
- Take ownership of daily task completion and contribute to project schedule adherence
- Mentor and support apprentices and less experienced crew members — share your knowledge and raise the level of the team
- Identify quality issues and deficiencies proactively; bring solutions, not just problems
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in accordance with ACL and OHS standards
- Participate in toolbox talks, safety meetings, and orientations as required
- Communicate material needs and site issues to your Foreman or Superintendent clearly and promptly
- Operate tools and equipment safely; take accountability for the tools and resources in your care
Skills & Qualifications
- Journeyman Carpenter Certificate (Interprovincial or Alberta) required
- Experience with commercial carpentry scopes: wood framing, concrete formwork, interior/exterior finishing, thermal and moisture systems
- Ability to read blueprints and work from technical drawings independently
- Proven ability to mentor others and contribute to a positive, high-performing team
- Valid driver's license (driver's abstract required if operating ACL vehicles)
- Strong commitment to safety — it's not optional here
