About Us  

Life is complicated enough. At Akash Homes, we believe building a home shouldn’t be. We’ve grown fast by doing things differently - removing surprises, prioritizing quality, and delivering homes that feel as good as they look. We’re scaling quickly across Western Canada, and we need people who are ready to dig in and help shape what comes next. 
 

If you haven’t heard of us: Akash Homes is a homebuilder headquartered in Edmonton, with active communities in Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg. We have an ambitious growth trajectory—and we’ve doubled year over year. We’re now one of the top 5 builders by permits in Edmonton and top 20 in Calgary. We’ve grown from a small (but mighty) team of 17 in 2023 to over 75 in 2025 (and counting). This kind of growth isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the culture we’re building, the people we're investing in, and the momentum we’re proud to sustain. 

The Role 

We are seeking a Site Assistant to join our Construction team in Calgary, Alberta. 

The Opportunity 

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands on, working outdoors, and being part of a fast paced construction environment. As a Site Assistant, you will work alongside the Site Superintendent to ensure homes are built safely, efficiently, and to Akash standards. 

You will play a critical role in maintaining job site organization, supporting inspections, and helping ensure trade partners meet quality expectations. This is a strong entry point into residential construction with exposure to multiple phases of the build process and opportunities for long term growth. 

At Akash Homes, growth happens quickly. You will be trusted with responsibility early and expected to take ownership of your work. 

Top 3 Priorities for Your First 6 Months 

1. Maintain safe, clean, and organized job sites that support efficiency and reflect Akash standards. 

1. Support quality control processes by assisting with inspections, identifying deficiencies, and ensuring completed work meets expectations. 

1. Develop strong working relationships with Site Superintendents, trades, and project team members to help keep builds on schedule. 

What You’ll Own 

• Maintain clean and organized job sites, including waste removal, sweeping, vacuuming, and snow clearing when required. 

• Ensure safe access to homes under construction by maintaining pathways and temporary walkways. 

• Support quality control efforts by preparing sites for inspections and performing general labour tasks. 

• Conduct site inspections and assist with quality checks to help ensure work meets Akash standards. 

• Coordinate with Site Supervisors and Project Managers regarding material deliveries, timelines, and workflow priorities. 

• Support and reinforce high standards with trade partners and subcontractors to help maintain timelines and quality expectations. 

• Perform minor repair and finishing tasks including framing adjustments, drywall touch ups, painting, deck stair and railing installation, and similar small scope construction work. 

• Safely operate hand tools and power tools to complete assigned site tasks. 

What You’ll Bring 

• Experience in general labour or residential construction is preferred. 

• Understanding basic construction principles and job site safety practices. 

• Strong time management and organizational skills in a fast-paced environment. 

• Proactive problem-solving ability and willingness to take initiative.

• Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment. 

• Physical capability to lift materials and work in varying weather conditions. 

• Reliable transportation. A truck is preferred. A clean Driver’s Abstract is required. 

We are less focused on formal education and more focused on reliability, work ethic, and a strong desire to learn and grow in residential construction.
