Job description
Who We Are:
StructureCraft is a unique, family-owned design-build company that employs over 200 structural engineering and construction professionals. We specialize in designing and building timber structures, incorporating steel, concrete and other materials into the projects as well.
Since our beginning in 1998, our team has pushed the boundaries in complex geometry, optimization, digital fabrication, material testing and research. We are involved in mass timber structures, long span roofs, tall wood buildings, free-form timber structures and bridges. Our work has been recognized nationally and internationally, including numerous engineering awards for innovation in timber construction.
We are rooted in our mission of "making beautiful structures possible," which harnesses both traditional principles and paradigm-shifting innovation to bring the inherent properties of materials to their highest use. As a firm of master engineers and timber construction experts with offices in Canada, US, and Italy, we partner with world-renowned developers, owners and architects to create structures that are elegant in their own right and also serve the greater good of a community.
Our head office and shop is located near Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada, but our teams travel all over North America to install the structures that we design.
About the role
We are seeking a Local CDL Class A Truck Driver to join our team for a short-term position on a project in Washington, DC (Anacostia). This is a contract position starting in September of 2026 and ending in May of 2027. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of safety, reliability, and strong organizational skills.
The Truck Driver will move truckloads on 48' and 53' flatbed trailers between a yard and the construction site (approximately 20-minute drive). They will also supervise yard logistics and receiving with a telehandler and will work on the construction site as needed. Telehandler certification is preferred, but StructureCraft can provide training if necessary.
If the individual proves themselves to be a valuable asset to the company, and is interested in travel within the United States, we may offer a long-term job position to them.
