About Handshake Services
Handshake Services Inc. is a Prairie-based agricultural and industrial construction, maintenance, and general contracting company operating across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
We specialize in grain handling systems, seed cleaning facilities, fertilizer plants, and bulk material handling infrastructure. Our team delivers full-scope solutions including design coordination, equipment supply, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance support.
With a growing multi-division footprint, a nearly 25,000 sq. ft. fabrication facility, and a strong reputation built on integrity, workmanship, and long-term client relationships, Handshake has become a trusted partner across Western Canada’s ag and industrial sectors.
The Role
Handshake Services is expanding across the Prairies and is hiring a Regional Lead Foreman based out of Lethbridge AB to support and lead field operations.
What You’ll Do
- Oversee multiple job sites and ensure high-quality execution
- Lead, train, and support crews as the team expands
- Work hands-on in the field while building structure and consistency
- Support manpower coordination, scheduling, and site execution
- Coordinate subcontractors, cranes, and rigging operations
- Assist with estimating, takeoffs, and project planning
This role will begin heavily field-focused, with a clear path into more project management and leadership over time.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong mechanical / millwright background
- Experience in agricultural or industrial construction
- Proven ability to coordinate subcontractors and crane operations
- Solid rigging knowledge and crew leadership experience
- Ability to read drawings and lead complex installations
- Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
This is not a purely execution role —estimating and planning experience are strong assets, though we are willing to train the right candidate.
Required Background
Candidates must have direct experience in agriculture-related project environments, including:
- Grain handling systems
- Seed and fertilizer facilities
- Equipment installation and maintenance
Travel
- Primary focus: Lethbridge and Southern Alberta
- Some travel across Saskatchewan and occasional support in Alberta
Our goal is to build consistent local work so our team can be home as much as possible — this role is key to making that happen.
