General Labourer

COLAS

The Miller Group, a subsidiary of Colas Canada, is a Canadian leader in the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure since 1917. We provide exceptional customer service and operational support using our time-proven construction methods and innovative technologies, alongside the highest quality products and materials. We leverage our global network to foster positive relationships that make a lasting difference in the communities where we live and work. Whether it is making your commute more efficient, keeping our communities safe, or making remote areas more accessible, at Miller we are proud to Build Greatness in everything we do.

Day in the Life

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and jump into the fast-paced world of construction as a General Labourer. Working alongside experienced crews, you’ll support a variety of tasks on paving and concrete projects, helping keep operations running smoothly and safely day-to-day.

From assisting with site setup and preparation to moving materials, supporting equipment operators, and maintaining clean and organized work areas, no two days are the same. You’ll gain hands-on experience working with tools, learning construction processes, and contributing to projects that improve the communities we serve.

Safety will always be your top priority, including:

  • Participating in required safety training and daily safety activities
  • Wearing PPE and following all site protocols
  • Staying alert to potential hazards and supporting a strong safety culture

Whether you’re helping prepare surfaces, supporting paving or concrete work, or performing general site duties, you’ll be an important part of a hardworking team that takes pride in doing the job right.

This is seasonal work and typically begins from the end of April and goes until the middle of December.

Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent is considered an asset
  • 1–2 years of experience in construction, general labour, or site maintenance is preferred
  • Basic knowledge of construction tools and equipment
  • Ability to lift and carry heavy materials (50 lbs or more)

Miller is proud to provide this unique career opportunity, we offer continuous learning, opportunity for growth, and a competitive compensation package. At our core; we are our people. We succeed because we respect our people and invest in their development, safety and well-being. Miller is an equal opportunity employer. At Miller, we believe our workforce should reflect the diversity of the communities we connect. By living our core values of Respect, Commitment, Pioneering and Sharing, we welcome all those who help create the links that bring us together. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of age, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, disability, marital or family status, gender, gender identity or expression.
