Job Description
Build Something You Can Be Proud Of
Wilco Contractors Northwest Inc. is looking for experienced 2nd/3rd/4th/Journeyman Carpenters to join our growing team in Edmonton and the surrounding area.

Why Wilco?
At Wilco, we build more than infrastructure—we build communities and strong teams.
Based out of Northwest Edmonton, Wilco is a leading civil construction contractor specializing in earthworks, underground utilities, site development, landscape construction, and community infrastructure.
We're proud of our reputation for safety, quality, and hard work, but just as importantly, we're proud of our people. We believe in supporting each other, sharing knowledge, and taking pride in the work we leave behind.
