Job Description

Sun Certified Builders Cooperative (SCBC) is looking for a Apprenticing Carpenter (Level 1 or 2)

to join our team.

Are you interested in a career opportunity in high performance new construction and

renovations? Would you like to participate in a democratic business structure as a co-op

member?

SCBC is an employee-owned worker co-op offering training, career development, and

competitive wages. After completing a probationary period and successful review processes,

employees are eligible to become members in the co-op. Becoming a member allows you to

participate in the management and governance of the co-op, and entitles you to a share in

equity dividends as a part-owner.

SCBC promotes justice, equity, diversity, decolonization, and inclusion (JEDDI) and has a

diverse hiring policy. We seek to be representative of the demographics in the communities we

work in and provide a supportive environment for anyone interested in joining our team. We

value a highly collaborative culture and use an Integrated Project Delivery method of project

management that brings all stakeholders to the table and fosters mutual help, respect, and

development.

Our business is high performance new builds and renovations in both residential and small

commercial buildings using Passive House methods and principles. We use advanced framing

methods and a Larsen truss wall system to prefabricate and install high performance building

components. We use the Passive House Planning Package and DesignPH for energy modelling

to design and build some of Manitoba's most energy efficient and resilient buildings with

ultra-low carbon footprints. Our mission is to curb climate change by constructing highly efficient

buildings that have a net neutral or even negative lifetime carbon footprint.

We focus on high quality craftship and attention to detail. Demand for high performance

buildings is growing and we need new members to increase our capacity.

Successful applicants must be able to get to job sites within the city. We also work in

surrounding communities so the ability to work out of town is an asset, as well as a class 5

drivers license.

Send a cover letter and resume to info@suncertifiedcoop.com. Cover letter should outline your

experience in carpentry and interest in working in a co-op with an environmental sustainability

focus.
