Is this job for you?
We are looking for someone to join our company long-term; a carpenter who is a skilled and creative problem-solver, someone who is trustworthy as an independent worker who doesn’t need to be supervised, someone who is very friendly/personable who will make customers feel comfortable when they are working in their home, making them want to hire us again for the next job.
This position is on-call/casual to start, with the hopes of growing into a full-time regular job. Approximately 1-3 days/week to start, increasing based on job performance and availability.
Vancouver Door Doctor is a rapidly growing small family business that focuses on quality over quantity. We are looking for a finishing carpenter who is a detail-oriented perfectionist; not construction style/putting up doors as quickly as possible.
