• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality workmanship.
• Ability to lead a crew, communicate expectations, and keep jobs moving.
• A proactive, goal-driven mindset with a strong work ethic.
• Someone who takes initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do.
• Strong communication and customer service skills.
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.

Bottom line? We want someone who knows their craft, takes ownership, and leads from the front.
