• Work-Life Balance: Consistent, reliable schedule (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; no mandatory weekend shifts).
• Steady Work Pipeline: Consistent year-round project queue across the Allentown-Scranton corridor—no need to spend time bidding jobs or chasing client invoices.
• Growth Potential: Opportunities to advance into Project Management or Operations leadership roles within the company.
• Full Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, Paid Holidays, Life Insurance, 401k w/ matching options
