Canadian Shade
Awning Installer Helper - $20-$25/hr, Occasional to Seasonal
Description
We're Canadian Shade, a family-run awning and shade company based in Innisfil. We install and service retractable awnings, pergolas, patio covers and shade screens for homes and businesses across the GTA, Hamilton and Niagara.
I'm looking for a reliable helper to work alongside our lead installer on installation and repair jobs.
What the work is
Helping on awning installs: staging parts, holding, drilling, mounting brackets, cleanup
Hoisting awnings up ladders to the install height, and working alongside the lead installer on the ladder
Service calls and repairs: fabric swaps, arm and motor replacements, hardware fixes
Loading and unloading the truck, keeping it stocked and organized
Outdoor work in cold weather, and time up ladders at height every day
What I'm looking for
Reliable and on time. That matters more to me than experience
We start and end in Innisfil. Being in the area is a plus.
Genuinely fit for it. You'll be lifting awnings up and down ladders, often 9 to 12 feet, and carrying 50 lbs or more repeatedly. This is the real requirement of the job, so be honest with yourself about it
Comfortable working at height on ladders, no fear of it
Valid driver's licence (G2 or G). Having your own vehicle is an asset, not a dealbreaker
Basic hand and power tool experience. Can read a tape measure and use a drill without being shown twice
Comfortable talking to homeowners, you're the company on site
Nice to have, not required: awning, window, siding, garage door or construction experience, or comfort with basic 12V/120V wiring for motors
Details
$20-$25/hour depending on experience
Occasional, on-call work through the winter.
A few days here and there, not steady hours
If it's a good fit, this becomes a seasonal position of roughly 8 months a year, spring through fall, 3 days a week
Work is booked ahead wherever possible and we text you the schedule.
Please resond by Email.
Paid weekly by direct deposit
Start date: As customer demand requires.
To apply reply through Kijiji with your name and town, a few lines on your experience, whether you have a licence and a vehicle, and your winter availability.
