Skilled Laborer

Roaron Construction is a construction company operating out of the lower mainland. The general work zone is Abbotsford to West Vancouver but job sites occasionally vary throughout the province. Jobsite location frequency is often dictated by population density, meaning Surrey and Vancouver are popular. The crew and equipment warehouse is located in Aldergrove. Primary work times are 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday but can vary based on overtime and client requirements for the work to be completed. Some weekend work and rare night work can be expected.

The work may focus on concrete, asphalt and waterproofing applications. Jobs can vary from concrete repairs, to carbon fiber reinforcement, new construction, parkade restoration, drainage solutions, landscaping and brick paver repairs, excavation work and more. The same task is rarely worked on for more than a week, so the ideal candidate must have the desire to learn, adapt, and handle the changes associated with doing different types of work each day.

Considerations for the workers:

• All ESA rules are followed at a minimum and often better to reward the workers.
• Member of ICBA providing benefits such as Extended Health Care, Dental, Vision, Life and Dependent Life, Accidental Death and Injury, Emergency Travel Assistance, Self-Pay options, Employee Assistance Program, Foot Orthotic and Hearing Equipment.
• ICBA offers Family coverage, not personal coverage without difference in costs.
• Per diems to ensure that employees have financial support for daily expenses while travelling for work.
• 2 weeks of paid vacation
• 8 sick days
• Professional development support
• Crew get togethers for social events

The right candidate will be a team player and gain unique and valuable skills. Roaron prides itself on being timely and educated. The employees are a part of the journey and reward is recognized from commitment and loyalty to the job.

There is zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol on any jobsite or in any company vehicle at any time. Often, jobsites are part of a larger general contractor site and the site rules will be extended to the crew.
