Job description

The More You Master, The More You Make.

Since 1975 Thrasher has been redefining what it means to be a contractor. We are a family-owned company with locations across the U.S. specializing in waterproofing, foundations, and concrete repair and we are on a mission to deliver a WOW experience in an industry known for mediocrity. We believe fulfilling work creates fulfilling lives, and we back that up by investing in our people, challenging the status quo, and creating real opportunities for growth. We are not looking for someone to fill a seat; we are looking for leaders who want to make an impact.

Starting Pay: $17–$21/hour, depending on experience, plus bonus potential.

High-Earning Potential: With strong performance, bonus-eligible crew members earn an average of $35–$55/hour total compensation. There’s no cap, so your earning potential grows with your success!

The Role & Core Responsibilities

• Master. Move from Installer to Lead Installer to Team Lead based on skill, not tenure. The better you get, the faster you move.
• Earn. Once you’re a Lead Installer or Team Lead, your crew’s efficiency drives an uncapped bonus. Skill shows up in your paycheck, not just your title.
• Make Customers Happy. Follow our Customer Messaging and Production Core Process and leave every home cleaner than you found it.
• Get Work Done. Review job specs, load the truck, complete the installation at or below the defined labor percentage, and collect payment when the job is done.
• Stay Safe. Work safely and consistently and call out safety concerns the moment you see them.
