A key part of the role is leading the installation of prefabricated panelling systems produced within the Paradigm Group. You will coordinate layouts, deliveries, crane-assisted erection, temporary bracing, structural connections, and corrections so building components are installed safely and accurately.

Access competitive compensation, travel support, benefits, and opportunities to grow as a construction leader.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Lead, direct, and motivate employees, apprentices, subcontractors, and trades to complete daily priorities safely and efficiently.
Plan crew activities, assign work, maintain short-term look-aheads, and coordinate with the Superintendent or Project Manager on priorities and constraints.
Lead the receiving, layout, installation, alignment, bracing, fastening, and connection of prefabricated wall-panel and other panelling systems.
Coordinate panel deliveries, staging, lifting plans, crane activities, sequencing, and safe work zones.
Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, panel layouts, connection details, building plans, specifications, and project schedules.
Verify panel locations, dimensions, openings, structural connections, plumb, level, fit, and weather-protection details before and during installation.
Monitor workmanship and ensure panel installations, framing, floor and roof systems, openings, exterior components, and finishes meet drawings, codes, specifications, and quality standards.
Identify site issues and deficiencies early, develop practical solutions, and coordinate corrections.
Perform hands-on carpentry and installation work as required to support the crew and maintain production.
Coordinate materials, tools, equipment, and deliveries to keep the site organized and productive.
Conduct toolbox talks, enforce safety requirements, confirm appropriate PPE, and model safe work practices.
Complete daily reports, timesheets, progress updates, material tracking, and other required site documentation.

WHAT YOU BRING
Three to five years of carpentry or directly related construction experience, including two or more years leading crews or supervising construction work.
Strong framing and general carpentry skills, with confidence reading drawings, completing layouts, and checking work for accuracy.
Experience with prefabricated or panelized construction, wall-panel installation, crane-assisted erection, modular construction, or similar building systems is strongly preferred.
Carpentry apprenticeship training, Red Seal, or Journeyperson Carpenter certification is an asset.
Strong planning, communication, coaching, documentation, and practical problem-solving skills, with working knowledge of codes, sequencing, building-envelope principles, quality, and safety.
