BUILD. CLEAN. RESTORE. REPEAT. Join the Team in Chatham as a General Labourer!

At First Onsite, we're more than just restoration - we're rebuilding hope, homes and businesses post catastrophes like floods or fires. We're currently looking for a General Labourer to join our team in Chatham, where every day brings something new on our reconstruction sites.

Our General Labourers earn a competitive hourly wage based on experience. We offer an exceptional extended health plan, including medical, dental, and vision. You'll also have access to an employee assistance program, educational assistance, professional development, internal growth opportunities, national career movement, and a healthy work/life balance.

A Day in the Life of a General Labourer

As a General Labourer at First Onsite, your day starts with a strong focus on health and safety-you lead by example, following all policies and promoting a clean, hazard-free job site. Whether you're taking direction from the Lead Hand, Water Technician, or Lead Carpenter, you're a team player who contributes to smooth and efficient project execution. You're hands-on, assisting with material handling, climbing ladders, lifting, and navigating tight spaces like attics and crawlspaces. Every day brings a new opportunity to learn and grow, especially when it comes to mastering procedures for environmental work.

You treat property owners and co-workers with respect, always maintaining a professional attitude. On-site, you stay mindful of company policies like smoking regulations and ensure customer questions are passed along to the appropriate team lead. You remain ready and willing to respond to after-hours emergencies, and your teamwork shines through as you support your crew, look out for others, and help wherever you're needed most.

Qualifications:

• 1-2 years of experience in construction, restoration, or general cleaning work (preferred)

• Comfortable using a variety of hand and power tools (preferred)

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Valid, unrestricted driver's license - FULL G ONLY

• Ability to pass a criminal background check

• Physically capable of lifting heavy materials and working in confined or tight spaces
