Job Description

Are you a disaster restoration professional with emergency mitigation experience?

In this role, your hands-on industry experience will be critical to keeping jobs moving, teams aligned, and clients confident. You'll play a key role in ensuring our sites are safe, efficient, and operating at the high standard our clients expect.

competitive wage based on experience

and an

exceptional extended health plan

A Day in the Life of a Site Supervisor

The day kicks off with a site visit and a focused tailgate meeting. You walk the team through safety protocols, today's priorities, and any scope updates. You've already reviewed the in-house work orders from the Project Managers and built out detailed materials lists. The crews are prepped, protected, and powered up.


Before the first hammer swings, you're already five steps ahead-revising scopes where needed, checking delivery times, and identifying potential bottlenecks. Whether it's demolition or repairs, you make sure every action meets First Onsite's high standards of quality and efficiency.

Late Morning - Problems? Solved.

When a surprise issue arises on a job site-like hidden water damage behind a wall-you're the one they call. You quickly assess, redirect the crew, update the scope, and keep things moving. You're not just supervising-you're leading, coaching, and constantly course-correcting in real time.


You move between sites, inspecting work, offering direction, and checking that every crew member is where they need to be. Your attention to detail helps prevent rework, delays, and safety issues. You don't just manage projects-you elevate them.

Afternoon - Keeping Momentum Strong

The pace doesn't slow after lunch. You're updating the Construction Operations Manager and Project Managers with clear status reports. You monitor staff performance, review time sheets, and make sure team members are working efficiently and effectively.


You lead by example-showing junior crew members how to work smart without cutting corners. You notice who needs support and who's ready to take on more. Your leadership isn't just about timelines-it's about building capable, confident teams.

End of Day - Every Detail Counts

You finish the day the same way you started: with your eyes on the details. One last walk-through confirms that safety procedures were followed, scope requirements were met, and the site is clean and ready for the next phase.


Your projects stay on track because you keep them that way-from materials to morale, from schedules to site safety. At the end of the day, you leave knowing you made progress-not just on the job, but with your team and your clients.

Qualifications:

Minimum 3 years experience as a lead water technician or equivalent within the restoration/emergency (or a related) industry Detailed understanding of reconstruction practices for commercial properties that has suffered water, wind, mould, fire and vandalism damages Experience with Canadian building codes and electrical, or plumbing, or mechanical and related codes.
