We are Chandos

Inclusion, collaboration, innovation and courage.

These values speak to our desire to create places where all people belong, listening and learning from one another in a way that sparks ideas and leads to positive changes in our industry and community. They also demonstrate our commitment to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture. And, if they resonate with you too, we should talk!

We are 100 percent employee owned and proud to be the first and largest B Corp certified national technical builder in North America, meaning we put our values at the centre of everything we do. 

Continuous improvement is core to our success. Championing innovative and collaborative ways to build is just one example of that. Collaborative construction leads to more efficiency, cost savings, social value, and a much better working experience for everyone.

Every day, our teams are working to build places for people to live, work, learn, serve, and play. But above all, we’re building community. And, we’re looking for like-minded people to join us. Together, we can build a better world.

Are you mechanically inclined, organized, and looking for a hands-on role where your work directly supports safe, successful construction projects?
At Chandos, our Tool Technicians are critical to keeping our job sites running smoothly and we’re looking for an Assistant Tool Technician / Driver to support this function.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with tools, takes pride in maintaining equipment, and is comfortable supporting deliveries when needed. It’s also a strong entry point into our warehouse and logistics operations, with room to grow.

We don’t just hire for where you are today—we hire for where you can go tomorrow.

Why Chandos? The Ownership Advantage
