• Following company safety procedures and ensuring assistants do the same
• Communicating professionally with homeowners, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and other trades when necessary
• Taking responsibility for the quality of the crew's completed work

The ideal candidate is hands-on, dependable, and capable of leading others while still doing the work themselves.

• Can plan ahead and identify materials or equipment needed to complete the day's work
• Keeps a clean and organized jobsite
• Treats customers' homes and property with care
• Communicates well with management
• Is comfortable working outdoors year-round
• Can perform the physical work required in swimming pool construction
• Has a valid driver's license and reliable transportation (truck preferred)

Experience operating construction equipment such as a skid steer and mini excavator is a plus.

Competitive hourly pay based on pool construction experience, construction knowledge, leadership ability, and skill level. Benefits available.
