Title: Lead Carpenter, Finishing

Location: This is an on-site position. We will assist with relocation to Hazelton, BC / or commute from Smithers or Terrace BC
Remuneration: $44 - $52 / hour or salary with benefits negotiable for the right candidate
Seed the North is an architect-led ecological restoration company located on a beautiful 160 acre property above the Skeena River, with dramatic views of Stekyoden Peak. Construction of our seed orchard and campus began in 2020. Our context is rural and remote. We work with local craftspeople and locally sourced timber, from harvesting to finishing. We seek beauty in simplicity, with occasional flourishes and eccentricities. Some of our smaller projects lean toward a “Builders of the Pacific Coast” aesthetic, while the larger ones bring together the local timber frame building culture with industrial minimalism. Wood and structural expression feature in all of our projects.
We are hiring a finishing carpenter to spearhead the completion of an architectural cabin. Our team of architects, carpenters and local contractors, suppliers and fabricators are ready to support you. Services have been brought to the two sites, foundations are complete and the structure is being raised. We will provide a complete set of construction drawings.
While it may be possible to commute from Smithers or Terrace, residing in Hazelton is preferred and we will support you in this endeavor. The ideal candidate will enjoy living and working in a rural and remote environment, and may like to engage in the adjacent world-class fishing, hunting, hiking, paddling, mountain biking and skiing.
