This role requires reliable transportation to travel between multiple job sites and a strong work ethic to stay active and productive throughout the day.

Responsibilities

• Perform demolition tasks in commercial buildings, including removing walls, ceilings, floors, studs, doors, windows, and mechanical systems.
• Carry, load, and dispose of construction debris and materials into dumpsters throughout the workday.
• Use basic hand tools, shovels, and brooms to break down materials, clean up debris, and maintain a tidy job site.
• Work on multiple school and commercial projects, traveling to different job sites as needed.
• Remain on your feet for the majority of the shift and stay consistently busy performing manual labor tasks.
• Follow instructions from site leads and adhere to all safety procedures and site rules.
• Work effectively in hot conditions and adapt to changing site conditions and tasks.
• Wear required safety footwear and use equipment and tools properly to prevent accidents and injuries.

Essential Skills

• Ability to lift and carry at least 50 pounds repeatedly throughout the workday.
• Experience performing manual labor, including demolition and debris removal.
• Comfort working in hot conditions and in physically demanding environments.
• Ability to remain on your feet and stay active for the entire shift.
• Basic experience using hand tools, shovels, and other simple construction tools.
• Reliable transportation to travel independently to various job sites.
• Ownership and use of steel toe boots while on site.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Prior experience on commercial construction or demolition projects is an asset.
• Experience working on school or similar institutional projects is beneficial.
• Interest in growing into leadership roles such as foreperson or crew lead over time.

Why Work Here?

You will join a team that values hard work, reliability, and initiative, offering a strong opportunity to extend your employment beyond the busy summer season if you perform well. Consistently proving yourself on site can open doors to advancement into leadership roles, including opportunities to lead crews and take on more responsibility. This environment rewards those who show up, work safely, and contribute positively to the team, providing a clear path for growth for motivated individuals.

Work Environment

You will work on active commercial construction sites, with a primary focus on school projects, often in hot weather and physically demanding conditions. The role is entirely on-site and involves constant movement, lifting, and manual labor throughout the day. You will use basic construction tools such as hand tools, shovels, and brooms, and you will be required to wear steel toe boots as part of the site safety expectations.
