General Scaffold Labourer

Safetech Scaffold Ltd. is currently seeking general laborers for scaffold work in and around Nanaimo. We have a great team of people working within a safety-conscious environment all over Vancouver Island and the lower mainland (and occasionally other places within the province as well). This is a great opportunity to grow knowledge of the trades while furthering a successful career through teamwork and problem solving! An added perk of this job is that it will keep you fit without a gym membership! Previous scaffolding experience is an asset but not mandatory, as the main duties of this position will be to assist experienced crews in the installation and dismantling of scaffold.

• Must have CSA approved steel toe boots and a hard hat.
• Fall Protection Certification (we can provide training).

• Assisting in tracking of on-site scaffolding materials.
• Performing other activities as directed.
