A well-established mechanical contractor with a strong reputation in the Lower Mainland, known for doing things the right way on commercial and institutional tenant improvement (TI) projects. This team prioritizes quality, coordination, and long-term relationships over shortcuts, conflict, or “margin-first” behavior.
About the Opportunity
This is the highest-priority hire for the client: a ticketed Field Lead /Mechanical Foreman who can run crews on commercial and institutional TI jobs. Foremen typically lead crews of 3–5 and carry 1–2 projects at a time, staying hands-on while driving install quality, pace, and coordination with site teams and other trades.
They’re flexible on technical background beyond the ticket—what matters most is character and professionalism. They want someone who puts team and client outcomes first, flags issues early (instead of building to flawed drawings), and leads with integrity rather than relying on aggressive change orders or back-charging.
