NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS

Read carefully. If you don't meet every item below, this role is not for you. 1. A minimum of 5 years of hands-on interior residential remodeling experience. Concrete, exterior, outdoor, and commercial work do not count toward this requirement. 2. Fully bilingual. Fluent English and Spanish are both required. 3. A people person. You are a team player who lifts the team up like a coach while staying firm on the company's standards. 4. Professional with clients. You explain things clearly, communicate with clients professionally, and deliver high-level customer service. 5. Patient and calm under pressure. Plans change, problems come up every day, and clients and crews will ask you the same questions more than once. If you get frustrated easily, lose your temper, raise your voice, snap at people, or get short with them when things go wrong, this is not the job for you. 6. Coachable and process-driven. You take feedback without getting defensive or upset, and you follow the company's processes, SOPs, and systems. 7. You see what's wrong before anyone points it out. Some people walk into a room and notice the crooked outlet cover, the tile that's off by a hair, the trim gap, the paint line that isn't clean. Other people walk into the same room and see nothing. If that's not how your brain works, this job will be miserable for you and for us. We are looking for the first kind of person. 8. High standards. You hold yourself and the work to them every day. 9. Solution-minded. You see problems as challenges and come with solutions. 10. Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. Many projects move at once, and things move quickly. If you're used to a slower rhythm, this is not the role for you. 11. A strong professional reputation in the community. References are required. 12. Must pass a pre-employment drug test. This is a drug-free workplace. A Plus, But Not Required Experience managing a construction company or construction team. We look for the right attitude and personality first. Management experience can be developed, but the traits above cannot. Schedule, Pay & Career Path This role starts Monday through Friday, hourly, at $45

• 50 per hour depending on experience.

Fridays are a late day, with an end time of 7:30 PM. Occasional Saturdays as projects require. The path from here is to take on your own projects. As you prove you can run them to our standard, this role moves into a salaried management position working Monday through Saturday. If a six-day week isn't something you want long term, this is not the right fit. Why Join Us? Be part of a company with a rich history of delivering excellence in design and craftsmanship. Work alongside a talented, passionate team committed to creating exceptional spaces. Room for growth within the company. If you are passionate about remodeling and possess the necessary skills, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity to contribute to our dynamic team.
