Why Work Here?

You join a team that values hard work, professionalism, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, while also recognizing and rewarding your efforts. You accrue paid time off at a rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, supporting healthy work-life balance. When overnight travel is needed after the contract period, you receive compensation and per diem to cover expenses. Overtime opportunities are common, with good potential for extra earnings through regular daily overtime and occasional Saturdays with advance notice. Once you transition to a permanent role, you receive two annual stipends for steel-toe footwear and a recurring allowance for work pants every six months. There is a clear opportunity to grow into a lead role, and after becoming a lead post-contract, you are reimbursed monthly for phone expenses, reflecting the value placed on your leadership and communication.

Work Environment

This role is field-based and involves working at a variety of job sites, including banks, offices, schools under construction, and other commercial environments. You typically travel with your team in company vehicles to each site, where you help unload, move, and install furniture and related items. The work is hands-on and physically active, involving frequent lifting, bending, kneeling, and the use of hand and power tools such as impact drills, drills, hammers, mallets, hacksaws, and tape measures. You regularly use dollies and other moving equipment to transport furniture safely. The environment can vary from finished office spaces to active construction sites, so you should expect changing conditions, noise levels, and the need to follow on-site safety practices. Appropriate work attire, including steel-toe footwear and durable work pants, is required to support safety and comfort in these settings. Hours often include standard daytime schedules with regular opportunities for overtime, including occasional Saturdays with prior notice.
