Operating out of our 10,000-square-foot facility in Gloucester, Ontario, we combine traditional craftsmanship with advanced robotic automation. Our portfolio includes iconic regional landmarks and secured projects for the Parliamentary Sector and the Canadian Space Agency.
We are shifting our customer care structure to a remote-first model. We are seeking an empathetic, highly organized Customer Support Specialist to serve as the critical daily link between our commercial clients, structural engineers, and our production floor.

What We Are Looking For (Requirements):
- Experience: 1+ years of professional customer service, customer support, or customer success experience. Experience in construction, building materials, manufacturing, or real estate is a major asset but not required.
- Communication Skills: Native-level fluency in written and verbal English. The ability to translate production updates into clear, reassuring client messages is essential.
- Tech Literacy: High comfort level working with remote tech stacks (Slack, MS Teams, Zoom, G-Suite, and CRM tools).

- Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in either the United States or Canada without visa sponsorship.
- Security Eligibility: Must be eligible to pass basic federal reliability/background screening (required due to our public works infrastructure contracts).
Why Apply? (The Perks): - 100% Remote Work: Work comfortably from your home office anywhere in the United States or Canada.
- Premium Tools Provided: We ship a complete corporate remote tech bundle directly to you (Latest laptop, dual monitors, noise-canceling headset, and an ergonomic home-office stipend).
- Top-Tier Compensation: A highly competitive base salary ranging from $55,000 to $72,000 (USD or CAD depending on your home country) with clear paths for annual performance raises.
- Comprehensive Care: Country-specific competitive health, vision, and dental benefits package starting on Day 30, plus short/long-term disability and life insurance.
