General labour and construction labourer jobs in Canada

About these jobs

General and construction labourer jobs rarely need a diploma or a trade certificate. Labourers load and move materials, clean up sites, help tradespeople and run basic tools, and many employers train on the job.

Construction work is busiest from spring to fall. Most sites ask for safety boots and some for a basic safety course such as WHMIS, which employers often provide. Check each posting for the start date, hours and pay.
