This position is designed for someone who wants to learn the construction industry, develop multiple skilled trades, and build a long-term career. You will work alongside experienced tradesmen and equipment operators while gaining hands-on experience across many different types of construction projects.

• Concrete – forming, pouring, flatwork, slabs, stamped and decorative concrete
• Excavation & Site Work – site preparation, drainage, grading, trenching, utilities, and foundations

• Carpentry – framing, doors, windows, trim, decks, and general carpentry
• New Home Construction
• Home Additions & Renovations
• Commercial Construction

• General Construction & Property Improvements

As your skills and experience grow, you will be given opportunities to take on more advanced work and responsibility.

More importantly, we are looking for someone who:

• Wants to learn a skilled trade
• Is dependable and shows up to work on time
• Is willing to work hard and learn
• Takes direction and accepts constructive feedback
• Is comfortable working outdoors and performing physical construction work
• Is willing to learn multiple trades rather than performing only one type of work
• Takes pride in doing quality work
• Works well as part of a team
• Understands the importance of jobsite safety
• Has dependable transportation
• Has a valid driver's license
• Wants an opportunity to advance within the construction industry

This Is More Than a Laborer Position
Our goal is to develop motivated employees into skilled construction tradesmen and equipment operators.
You may start by assisting an experienced concrete finisher, carpenter, or equipment operator. As you demonstrate reliability and develop your skills, you will be taught increasingly advanced tasks and given greater responsibility.
Someone who starts in this position could ultimately develop skills in carpentry, concrete finishing, excavation, equipment operation, site development, and general construction.
Career Growth
We believe the best tradesmen are developed through real-world experience.
Employees who demonstrate strong work ethic, reliability, craftsmanship, and leadership will have opportunities to advance into positions such as:
