  • Unload, sort, and carry steel beams, metal sheets, insulation and fasteners around the job site
  • Use basic power tools to assist in fastening steel framing, wall panels and trim under direct supervision
  • Keep the job site clean, organized, and safe by managing debris, packing up tools, and organizing materials daily
  • Operate power tools safely and efficiently
  • Strictly follow all OSHA guidelines and company safety rules, including the constant and proper use of PPE
  • Be ready to travel out of town for multiple days at a time, working efficiently on remote jobsites with the crew
Qualifications & Requirements:
  • Minimum 1 year of verifiable experience in general construction, roofing, framing or a related labor trade

  • Ability to follow precise verbal instructions
  • Valid driver's license
