We welcome you to consider being part of our team that makes visionary installations a reality! Please note: this is not an install only position, nor is it an entry level position.

You

Are you an experienced installer or finish carpenter by trade, who also enjoys fabrication? Our install team executes temporary and permanent installations that run the gamut; every project is different! We need someone that can utilize project specifications, drawings, and tried and true installation methods to wow our clients. We expect everyone on the team to play a part in monitoring project progress, quality and forecasting needs to complete the project on time within budget.

Travel Required + Build in the Shop in Down Time

Installs can range from days to weeks and vary from local to national. Installs require folks that are reliable and flexible. Installations are often deadline sensitive and can span the weekend and mean long, challenging days. But, there's nothing more rewarding than nailing the finished product!

When there is downtime from installs, the installer must be able and willing to participate in other production related work such as fabrication, tech up, and prepping for upcoming installs in the shop.

An essential function of this role is driving to the job site. It could be in one's own vehicle, company fleet or a rented vehicle, so a clean and local driver's license is required. For travel, a Real ID or Passport is required.

How We Take Care of Our Installers

• Paid travel time, including travel from PDX to your destination hotel
• More than competitive per diemfor travel and onsite days of $75/day
• Reasonable travel schedules, typically 1–2 weeks maximum, with rotating crews available for longer projects
• Company-provided spending resourcesfor legitimate field needs while traveling
• Company vans / company rented vehiclesfor local jobs
• Competitive mileage reimbursementwhen using your personal vehicle
• Specialized and larger installation tools/equipment provided by Axiom
• The opportunity to work directly with the people who design and build the work you install

We ask employees to give us their all, and in turn, we help them live a rewarding life with the balance they need to enjoy their career at Axiom. We offer opportunities for growth, excellent pay ($28 - $34/hour), medical, dental, vision (plus additional cost dependent coverage options) and 401k/Roth investment options. Best yet, you accrue 20 days of PTO in year two!
