Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who isn't afraid to work and understands that residential construction requires flexibility.

One day you may be doing paint and drywall touch-ups, the next you may be moving lumber, picking up materials, ordering supplies, installing trim, cleaning out a house, checking on subcontractors, or helping get a home ready for closing.

This is not a position for someone who needs to be told every hour what to do. We want someone who can walk onto a job, see what needs attention, communicate what is needed, and get it taken care of.

Construction or carpentry experience is preferred, but reliability, work ethic, organization, attitude, and willingness to learn are extremely important.
