  • Construction equipment experience (forklift, aerial work platforms, all terrain forklifts, scissor lifts, etc.)

About us:

This position is full-year, full-time plus with flexible schedule, great benefits including 70% company-paid medical, paid holidays and PTO, a matching 401k plan, dental, and vision. We are a 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP) company and when appropriate, we enjoy company-wide profit-sharing.

We actively seek to build an inclusive and diverse workplace where people from all walks of life are welcomed. We are an equal opportunity employer.

New Energy Works operates on the triple bottom line philosophy putting equal emphasis on people, planet, and profit. We’ve been designing and crafting custom homes and fine woodworking across the nation for 40+ years with our 150+ craftspeople, carpenters, designers, dreamers, and community members.

If you think you’re a good fit, please apply today. We look forward to learning more about you.
