Overview

Backyard Escape Studios is a fast-growing company that creates modern garden sheds and all-season studios for clients across Ontario. We are a small business in need of a labourer with manual labour or construction experience. The job would include working in the shop pre-fabricating various components of our structures as well as going out on installs to build up our structures.
