What We’re Looking For

• Experience leading crews in installation, construction, carpentry, or a related field
• Hands-on skills with power tools, product assembly, and safe material handling
• Ability to read and interpret plans, drawings, or blueprints
• Strong communication and leadership—able to direct a team and keep projects on track
• High school diploma or GED (minimum); 2–3 years of related installation experience preferred
• Willingness to work in a physical, fast-moving environment (lifting up to 64 lbs, bending, kneeling, etc.)

Why Join Pigott?

• Meaningful Work – projects with leading healthcare, education, and business clients across Iowa and South Dakota
