Job description
Franklin General Contracting

South Glengarry, ON | Full-time | $25 to $32 per hour, based on experience

Franklin General Contracting is looking for a dependable General Carpenter who has solid construction experience, takes pride in doing quality work, and can carry out assigned tasks independently.

We're building a stronger field team so our crews can handle more work without compromising the quality and care our clients expect. We need someone who can take a plan or a clear set of instructions, understand what needs to be done, and follow through.

This is a hands-on role for a carpenter who is comfortable working independently on assigned tasks while collaborating with a lead carpenter and the rest of the crew.

Franklin General Contracting is a family-owned design/build contractor serving South Glengarry, Cornwall, and the surrounding SD&G area. Our projects include custom homes, renovations, additions, and other general contracting work.

What You'll Do

  • Perform hands-on carpentry and general construction tasks across residential and general contracting projects.
  • Measure, cut, fit, assemble, and install materials according to project requirements.
  • Assist with framing, finishing, drywall, and other construction activities within your skill set.
  • Read and follow construction drawings, measurements, and instructions.
  • Complete assigned work with attention to accuracy, workmanship, and detail.
  • Work independently on tasks you are qualified to perform and ask questions when clarification is needed.
  • Coordinate with the Lead Carpenter and other team members to keep work progressing.
  • Maintain an organized work area and handle tools and materials responsibly.
  • Follow site safety requirements and use tools and equipment appropriately.
  • Communicate progress, challenges, and material needs before they become larger problems.

What We're Looking For

  • Approximately three to five years of construction experience.
  • Practical carpentry skills and experience working on residential or general contracting projects.
  • The ability to complete assigned tasks independently without needing constant supervision.
  • Comfort using common hand and power tools safely.
  • The ability to take measurements and read construction drawings or plans.
  • A dependable, organized approach to work and a commitment to quality.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a crew.
  • A valid driver's licence and reliable transportation to job sites.

Experience with finishing carpentry, drywall, or a range of residential construction activities is an asset.

Character Matters Here

We value people who show up ready to work, take responsibility for their tasks, and treat the people around them well.

We want a carpenter who understands that good construction is not just about working quickly. It's about doing the work properly, communicating when something isn't right, and being someone the rest of the crew can depend on.

If you take pride in your work, are willing to learn, and want to be part of a team that holds itself to a high standard, we'd like to meet you.

What We Offer

  • $25-$30 per hour, based on experience and capability.
  • The opportunity to work alongside experienced construction professionals.
  • A chance to develop your skills and take on greater responsibility as you grow.
  • A team that values quality workmanship, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • The opportunity to contribute to a company building stronger, more independent crews.
