Night work (typically 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM) is a definite part of working at Bricon. It may not happen immediately, but all candidates must understand and accept that night shifts will be a regular part of this role, it is a matter of when, not if.

Day-shift projects occur occasionally but should not be expected as the norm.

PROJECT PROFILE

Our typical projects are smaller retail and commercial builds lasting 6 to 12 weeks. Our larger projects range from $3 to $5 million in size and span 6 to 8 months. We are not a mega-project firm, candidates coming from $50M+ hospital, arena, or oil-and-gas backgrounds are typically not a fit for the scale and pace of our work.
