• A strong commitment to safety — for yourself and everyone on your crew
• Strong communication and the ability to work well with internal and external partners
• Physically fit and comfortable performing labour-intensive work in all outdoor weather conditions
• Valid Class 1 driver's license required

• A genuine safety-first culture and real opportunities to grow and move up
