• Strong organization and communication skills
• An excellent understanding of rough and finish carpentry methods and techniques

• Commitment to Amsted Design-Build and team members

We feel you should consider applying if you like the idea of the following:

• Knowing that the work you do makes a difference: Our team-player employees are the basis of our solid foundation on which we built our reputation of 30+ years as an award-winning and life changing design-builder of interiors, renovations, additions and custom homes.
• Having a voice and being heard: We are looking for someone who can bring initiative to the job and has recommendations and solutions to our challenges. We will listen; your opinions will not fall on deaf ears.
• Feeling appreciated: a strong work ethic, loyalty and accountability is appreciated… and rewarded.
• Learning new skills and getting your hands dirty: Literally and figuratively. Simply put, we want someone who won’t back down from a challenge when things get “dirty”. We want someone with a sense of teamwork, not entitlement, who’s adaptable, not rigid. Although you will need many skills to apply, we feel that certain skills can be learned while attitude and personality cannot.
• Giving Back: We sponsor several charitable events and causes with money, services and expertise.

As you can see, this is a dynamic position that requires many skills.  If you feel you can bring these skills to our team, then we would like to hear from you!  Please forward your resume and a letter explaining to us why YOU are the right fit for Amsted Design-Build along with your salary expectations to Caree.McCullough@ Amsted.ca
