  • Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate assembly and installation of furniture and components.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment and take direction from a foreman.
  • Reliability and willingness to travel to various job sites as required.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
  • Experience in construction, carpentry, or framing that supports strong mechanical and installation skills.
  • Background in automotive or mechanical work, including tasks such as oil changes or basic repairs.
  • Familiarity with AV equipment installation and working with electrical panels and related components.
  • Comfort working in active office and healthcare environments with potential client interaction.
  • Interest in growing into roles such as lead installer, foreman, project coordinator, project manager, warehouse associate, or driver.
Why Work Here?

You join a supportive team culture that values growth, recognition, and internal promotion. You benefit from overtime pay for hours worked over eight in a day and reimbursement for parking and mileage when traveling to a second site in the same day. You have clear pathways for advancement into leadership, project management, warehouse, or driving roles as you demonstrate your skills and reliability. You enjoy a workplace that invests in team-building through outings and BBQs, and offers competitive benefits once you transition from contractor to permanent employee.

Work Environment

The role involves traveling between sites, sometimes more than one in a day, and working under the direction of a foreman in a team-based environment. You regularly use hand and power tools, follow detailed blueprints and schematics, and handle furniture components and related equipment.
