What is a trade apprentice?

A Trade Apprentice job is an entry-level position where individuals receive hands-on training in a skilled trade while working under experienced professionals. Apprentices typically earn a wage while learning and may also complete classroom instruction to gain technical knowledge. These roles are common in industries like construction, electrical work, plumbing, and manufacturing. The apprenticeship period varies by trade but often lasts from one to four years. Upon completion, apprentices may receive certification or licensure, allowing them to work as fully qualified tradespeople.

As a Trade Apprentice, you'll typically assist experienced tradespeople with a variety of hands-on tasks, such as preparing materials, using basic tools, and following instructions to complete job-related assignments. Your daily duties may include measuring and cutting materials, assembling parts, maintaining equipment, and cleaning up work areas. You'll gain direct exposure to different aspects of the trade, learning both practical skills and industry standards. This on-the-job training, combined with occasional classroom instruction, helps you gradually take on more complex responsibilities and build a strong foundation for future advancement.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the trade apprentice position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Trade Apprentice, you need a foundational understanding of your chosen trade (such as electrical, plumbing, or carpentry), a high school diploma or equivalent, and a willingness to learn on the job. Familiarity with hand and power tools, safety equipment, and industry-specific training or certifications (like OSHA 10) is often required. Strong work ethic, attention to detail, teamwork, and good communication set top apprentices apart. These skills and qualities are essential for mastering technical tasks safely, adapting to evolving work environments, and building a successful career in the trades.

As you develop your skills and prove your abilities, opportunities may include increased responsibility, higher compensation, Journeyman status, crew leadership, supervision, and other roles as our company continues to expand.

**We're not just looking for someone to fill a position today. We're looking for people who can become an important part of our company tomorrow.


What We're Looking For

Previous construction experience is helpful, but not required for the right candidate.

We're looking for applicants who have:

  • A valid driver's license
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening
  • Ability to regularly lift 50+ pounds
  • Strong work ethic and dependable attendance
  • Willingness to learn and accept instruction
  • Positive attitude and team-first mentality
  • Interest in developing professional carpentry skills
  • Desire to build a long-term career in construction


Employment Requirements

As part of the Alyeska Builders team, employees are expected to:

  • Maintain a valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
  • Complete OSHA-10 certification before employment (company-provided if needed).
  • Complete one company-approved continuing education course every six months (provided by the company and completed on your own time).
  • Report any driving violations that may affect employment responsibilities.


Benefits

  • Competitive pay based on experience and skill level
  • Year-round employment
  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance
  • Retirement Plan with Company Match

  • Company-paid DOT physicals (when applicable)
  • Hands-on training and career development
  • Opportunities for advancement as Alyeska Builders continues to grow


A Career With No Earning Ceiling

Your earning potential doesn't stop when your apprenticeship ends.

As you develop your skills and advance toward Journeyman status, you'll have opportunities to increase your earning potential and responsibility. After reaching Journeyman status, employees become eligible for
annual 1–3% performance-based wage increases, creating continued opportunities for financial growth throughout their career with Alyeska Builders.


Schedule

  • Full-time, year-round employment
  • Monday–Friday
  • Overtime and occasional Saturdays during the busy construction season


**Limited Apprentice Openings

We intentionally maintain a
limited number of apprentice positions so our apprentices have the opportunity to work alongside experienced team members, receive hands-on instruction, and develop their skills. If you're dependable, motivated, willing to learn, and looking for more than just another job, this could be the opportunity to learn a trade and build a career with a growing Interior Alaska company.
