Position Summary
We are seeking experienced, self-sufficient Flooring Installation Crews to join our project-based team as independent contractors (1099).

  • Achieve precise seams, transitions, and flash coving where required.
  • Accurately measure, cut, and fit flooring materials with a high degree of craftsmanship.
  • Maintain a professional, safe, and clean job site.
  • Communicate effectively with clients, project managers, and FCI staff throughout the project.
  • Work reliably and efficiently with minimal supervision.

Requirements
  • Minimum 3 years of professional flooring installation experience (rolled goods, hardwood, carpet, vinyl, laminate, etc.).
  • Demonstrated expertise with tight seams, custom rolled goods, or heat-welded seams preferred.
  • Reliable transportation and valid driver's license (ability to travel across Chicago's North Side).
  • Must carry own insurance (GL/WC/Auto) for all jobs.
  • Ability to lift 75 lbs and perform physically demanding work.
  • Own tools and equipment appropriate for flooring installation.
  • Professionalism, punctuality, and strong client service skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in both residential and commercial projects.
  • Ability to accept and manage direct material deliveries.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish or other languages) is a strong plus, to better serve our diverse clientele.
  • Certifications in flooring specialties (heat welding, moisture mitigation, etc.).

What We Offer
  • Steady pipeline of premium residential and commercial projects.
  • Competitive pay per project, commensurate with experience and quality of work.
  • Flexible scheduling and autonomy for skilled crews.
  • Supportive team and efficient operations.
