Construction Labourer

Since 2010, Hawkins Contracting has delivered high-quality, safe, and reliable work across utilities, infrastructure, environmental, and landscape construction. We are a WSIB Gold-level Small Business Health & Safety Leadership Award recipient, a multi-time IHSA Recognition of Performance Achievement winner, and a COR-certified contractor.

Our values - Team, Honesty, Problem-Solving, Ambition, Wellness, Courtesy, and Reliability - are not slogans. They define how work is performed on site, how people are treated, and how success is measured.

If you enjoy physical, hands-on work outdoors and want to be part of a stable team with clear standards and room to grow, this role may be a strong fit.

The Role

As a Construction Labourer, you will support site supervisors and operators by preparing job sites, moving materials, using hand and power tools, operating small equipment, and contributing to a wide range of construction activities. Work is varied and may include concrete, rough carpentry, retaining walls, pavers, site servicing, planting, and general landscape and civil works.
This role requires reliability, initiative, and the ability to work well within a team where many employees have built long-term careers.
