Summer Student Construction Labourer

Louis W Bray Construction is looking for students to join our team from May to August this summer.

 

Do you like working outdoors? Do you want to be part of a major infrastructure project in Ottawa? Are you interested in rolling up your sleeves in heavy civil construction? That’s great! We are looking for people just like you!

Louis W Bray Construction is a family-owned and operated Heavy Civil General Contractor, but we are more than just your regular heavy civil construction company. Our employees never feel like a number or another cog in the wheel. Every employee is an integral part of the organization. We work together, we play together, and we get involved together.
