Who We Are
True North General Contracting is a Thunder Bay–based construction company built on Quality, Honesty, and Integrity.
We take pride in our work — from renovations and additions to decks, kitchens, and new builds — and we work hard to maintain clean, organized, professional job sites. Just as important, we believe True North should be a great place to work, not just a place to punch the clock.
One of our biggest commitments to our team is steady, year-round employment. We do our best to avoid winter layoffs so our crew can count on consistent work and reliable income.
Why Work at True North
We know skilled tradespeople have options. Here’s why people choose to work with us:
Stability and Work-Lift
Work that doesn’t disappear in winter.
Year-Round Work
We keep work moving through the winter so you’re not laid off every year. The goal is steady hours and steady income you can actually plan your life around.
Monday–Friday Schedule
We run a normal work week. Nights and weekends aren’t the expectation here — we plan jobs properly so you’re not constantly living at the site.
Flex Time When Needed
Real life happens. If you’ve got appointments, family stuff, or something important, we’ll work with you where we can — as long as we keep the job moving.
Pay & Benefits
Take care of the work — we’ll take care of you.
Competitive Pay
You’re paid based on what you bring to the table — skill, experience, and reliability. If you’re a strong worker who can be counted on, we make sure you’re compensated like one.
Health, Dental & Vision
We offer benefits that actually matter — not just bare minimum coverage. The goal is to help you stay healthy, stay working, and take care of your family.
Time Off You Can Actually Use
Everyone needs downtime. We provide paid vacation and make it realistic to take it — so you can recharge without feeling like the job falls apart when you’re gone.
Tools, Support & Growth
We invest in Our people.
Mileage Reimbursement
If you’re driving for work, we don’t expect you to eat that cost. We reimburse mileage when it makes sense, so you’re not paying out of pocket to get the job done.
PPE & Select Tools Provided
We provide the PPE you need and help with select tools so you’re set up safely and properly. We run professional sites — and that starts with the right gear.
Room to Move Up
If you show up, lead well, and take pride in the work, there’s room to grow into foreman and supervisor roles. We’d rather promote good people than constantly hire strangers.
The True North Way
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by three simple values:
Quality.
Honesty.
Integrity.
These aren’t slogans on a wall — they show up in how we build, how we treat clients, and how we treat each other on site.
