Required:
reliable transportation, steel-toed non-slip footwear, own basic hand tools, ability to pass a drug test and background check) What We're Looking For We are not looking for someone who has mastered every construction trade. We are looking for someone with a solid general understanding of construction who is willing to work, learn, and take pride in the finished product. The right person should be able to take direction, work independently when necessary, and understand that getting a job done and getting a job done correctly are not the same thing. Attention to detail matters. Showing up matters. Taking care of tools and materials matters. Leaving a job site clean matters. And if something isn't right, we expect our crew to address it rather than simply saying, "good enough." Some projects will be straightforward; others will require problem-solving and teamwork. We want someone who is willing to jump in, help the crew, and continue developing their skills.
