About Us
At Agile Construction Limited, we believe the finishing touch is what truly sets exceptional projects apart. Based in Vancouver, BC, we are a precision-focused finishing contractor serving residential, commercial, and institutional clients across the construction industry. Our experienced team understands that the final details define the overall quality of a build — and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of craftsmanship, reliability, and efficiency.
Door and hardware installation is one of our core specialties. We handle everything from wooden and metal door systems to full hardware packages — including hinges, locksets, closers, panic devices, thresholds, and specialty accessibility hardware — on projects of all scales. As we continue to grow and take on new projects across the region, we're looking for skilled tradespeople who share our commitment to quality and precision to join us on a project basis.
Job Overview
We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Door & Hardware Installer to join us on a project basis in the Greater Vancouver area. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on expertise across residential and commercial door systems — from traditional wood and hollow metal doors to advanced electrified, automatic, and ADA-compliant hardware. You take pride in precision, can read a set of drawings, and deliver clean, code-compliant installations that make both clients and inspectors happy.
Projects are primarily based in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The ability to mobilize for out-of-area projects across British Columbia is considered a strong asset.
