• Hard worker willing to work 50+ hour weeks (with great overtime pay!) while working on site.

After the first two weeks on site, you will receive a performance evaluation and feedback from the site lead. We will focus on evaluating your skills and how you work within our team dynamics throughout this trial period. At the conclusion of the six-week trial period, we (site lead and management) will conduct a mutual assessment to determine if there is a strong fit. If so, we will establish where you fit into our carpenter pay scale and extend a permanent offer at that rate. All candidates will be required to pass a background check before a final offer is extended.

Beyond your professional qualifications, we'd like to get to know you as a person. Please share a brief paragraph about what energizes you outside of work, any passion projects you pursue, or what you value most in your ideal work environment. This helps us understand how your interests relate to transferable skills like teamwork or problem-solving.
