CARPENTER

We are missing one thing...YOU!

I love that from the top down there's a sense of a "work family." The people here really care about each other. When there's a challenge or a problem, there's a team of people to help overcome that challenge. Nobody is left alone on an island. Creativity is encouraged, especially when it comes to creating clients who are raving fans. This includes internal clients too. We recently completed "operation whoop-whoop" where the Sales team delivered whoopie pies to everyone else in the company. It made everyone feel appreciated!

PROJECT MANAGER

Family-Oriented

Blackdog as a company is very family oriented. They provide the correct work life balance to be successful with your career as well as build your family. The leadership staff is top notch and always seems to be solution focused. My experience at Blackdog has been excellent. Client satisfaction is at the top of what the culture of the company is. The best part of my job is working with the team of carpenters and project managers with a higher goal for individual success as well as company success and the best client satisfaction.
