Full job description
Experienced Traditional Timber Framer (Mortise & Tenon)

Shop Location: Benalto, AB (with projects across AB/BC/SK)

You will be required to live within driving distance of Benalto.

Type: Full-time, Permanent
Company: Top Peg Timber Frame Construction

Compensation: $27.00- $38.00 (Depending on Experience)

About the role

Top Peg builds premium custom timber work—ornamental and structural trusses, entries, porches, canopies, pergolas, gazebos, and more. We’re hiring an experienced traditional timber framer who can independently lay out, cut, and fit mortise-and-tenon joinery to tight tolerances, then help lead shop pre-fit and site raisings.

If you have proven skills and can lead a project from start to finish then you will be compensated on the higher side.

What you’ll do

Read shop drawings and perform precise layout (square-rule and scribe-rule).
Cut, fit, and finish mortises, tenons, housings, braces, scarf joints, and draw-bored pegs.
Perform pre-fit, staging, tagging, and install hardware/fasteners.
Site raising/installation with rigging and crane coordination; set posts, trusses, and frames safely.
Contribute to surface prep and finishing, repair touch-ups, and quality control.
Maintain tools, keep a clean and safe work area.
Tools/equipment you’re comfortable with: chain mortiser, beam saw (16-5/16"), circular & track saws, band saw, routers, drill press, chisels, slicks, mallets, layout squares, lasers, telehandler/forklift.
Must-have qualifications

3+ years in traditional timber framing (not just general carpentry).
Proven mortise & tenon skillset
Able to read drawings, convert dimensions, and hit tight tolerances.
Physically fit: lift 50–80 lb, work at height, indoor/outdoor, all seasons.
Strong safety habits; valid driver’s license
Eligible to work in Canada; reliable attendance and teamwork.
