• Collaborate with team members and foreman to complete projects within client timelines and quality standards.
• For foreman-level roles, lead installation crews, coordinate daily tasks, and ensure construction and installation work meets project requirements.

• Ability to handle inventory tasks, including tracking tools, materials, and hardware on job sites.
• Comfort working from basic blueprints and layout drawings to ensure accurate installation.
• Willingness to travel periodically to other locations, such as regional offices, when local workload is light.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced construction and installation environment.

You join a team that values reliability, hands-on craftsmanship, and collaboration on meaningful projects that shape modern office environments. The role offers steady, full-time hours with opportunities to take on additional responsibilities, including foreman-level leadership for those with advanced construction experience. You gain exposure to a variety of installation and construction tasks, develop your technical skills with tools and blueprints, and work in an environment that communicates schedule changes in advance and supports travel opportunities to other locations when needed.

The work environment is primarily inside commercial office buildings, focusing on furniture installation and related construction tasks. You work Monday through Friday, with some Saturdays and Sundays when client deadlines require additional coverage. Typical days run 9–10 hours, with start times generally between 5:30 AM and 7:00 AM and wrap-up around 4:00–4:30 PM. At times, construction schedules may require evening work, such as shifts from approximately 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with these changes communicated 1–2 weeks in advance. The role involves regular use of hand tools and cordless drills, physical labor including unloading trucks and moving furniture, and adherence to safety practices on active job sites. Some travel is required when local workload is slow, including occasional week-long assignments at a regional location such as Des Moines.
