Full job description

Our partner, Bretoba Contracting, is currently seeking an experienced and detail-driven Construction Site Supervisor / Foreman to join their team in Ingonish, Nova Scotia. This is a full-time, permanent, year-round opportunity for a seasoned construction professional who is ready to play a hands-on leadership role on high-quality builds across rural Cape Breton.

Bretoba Contracting is a foundation-to-finish construction company known for quality workmanship, collaborative leadership, and strong community values. As the company continues to grow into project management and development, its leadership team also supports the operations of multiple businesses.

OVERVIEW

As Construction Site Supervisor / Foreman, you will be the driving force behind the successful on-site execution of custom residential and light commercial construction projects. You’ll guide crews and trades through each stage of the build, protect the quality of the final fit-and-finish, and ensure safety, sequencing, and craftsmanship are never compromised.

Reporting to the ownership and project management team, you will coordinate day-to-day site activities, manage trades and materials, and maintain excellent communication with clients and project stakeholders.

This role is ideal for an experienced builder who takes pride in clean, precise workmanship, has an exceptional eye for detail, and understands how planning, sequencing, and quality checks shape the final product. Candidates must be willing to relocate to the Ingonish, NS area.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Oversee daily on-site operations from early construction through to finishing stages.
Lead, mentor, and motivate crews and trades, assigning tasks and stepping in hands-on as needed.
Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized job site; conduct regular safety meetings and inspections.
Perform continuous quality checks to ensure all work aligns with design intent and specifications.
Monitor craftsmanship, alignment, sequencing, and installation techniques to protect the final fit-and-finish standard.
Identify issues early, troubleshoot problems, and uphold high standards at every stage of the build.
Coordinate material deliveries, trade sequencing, and site logistics.
Collaborate with project managers on construction plans, schedules, and budgets.
Communicate professionally with clients, architects, inspectors, and internal teams to keep all parties informed.
Maintain accurate daily records of labour, materials, equipment usage, and site activities.
Track project progress and proactively address issues that may impact timelines, costs, or quality.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

Proven hands-on experience as a Site Supervisor or Foreman in custom residential construction and light commercial projects.
Exceptional attention to detail, particularly during finishing stages.
Ability to read and interpret architectural plans, specifications, and finish details.
Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to motivate crews and guide trades.
In-depth understanding of construction sequencing, safety regulations, and quality standards.
Civil Engineering Tech diploma, Carpentry Certificate, other trade certificates, or equivalent experience considered an asset.
Class 5 Driver’s License required.
Surveying experience considered an asset.

WHAT THEY OFFER

Full-time, permanent, year-round (non-seasonal) position.
Approx. 50–60 hours per week.
Competitive salary, plus potential for performance-based bonus or wage increase.
Worker housing provided for 1 year.
On-site amenities.
Wellness program (after probationary period).
Deferred profit-sharing plan (DPSP) after 6 months.
The opportunity to work with a close-knit, values-based team in one of the most beautiful regions of Nova Scotia.

JOIN THE TEAM

Do you take pride in precise, high-quality builds and enjoy being at the centre of on-site activity? Are you ready to bring your leadership, craftsmanship, and sequencing skills to a company that values relationships as much as results?

Questions: contact [email protected]

We thank all applicants for their interest. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Pay: $49,808.83-$110,173.48 per year
