About the Opportunity
TRIP Contracting has partnered with Next Step Recruitment to lead the search for experienced Site Supervisors to support upcoming projects. Next Step Recruitment is managing the hiring process on TRIP’s behalf — reviewing applications, conducting initial screening, and introducing qualified candidates directly to TRIP’s project leadership team.

We are hiring two Site Supervisors to lead hotel renovation projects in Nova Scotia (Yarmouth and Sydney). Each project is approximately 4 months in duration, with the potential for extension or future assignments. These are contract roles — ideal for supervisors who thrive in a travel-based work model and are comfortable being fully on site for the duration of the project.

Important: Candidates may be based anywhere in Canada. Flights to and from project sites are arranged and paid for, and accommodation is provided at the hotel for the duration of the project. Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Canada, with at least two (2) years of valid work authorization remaining.

As a Site Supervisor, you’ll live onsite at the hotel and take the lead in coordinating all daily construction activities. These are fast-paced interior renovation projects, where sequencing trades and maintaining schedules is critical — not only to project success, but also to hotel operations and guest experience.

• Track and report any scope changes to the Project Manager in a timely manner

• Schedule: Six days per week, ~9 hours/day. Some supervisors may choose to work Sundays if needed to stay on schedule. Noisy work cannot begin before 8:30 a.m. due to hotel guest activity.

• PPE: Required at all times. Must be comfortable working indoors and outdoors with exposure to construction-related hazards.
