This role is ideal for a hands-on construction professional who enjoys solving a variety of construction challenges each day.

The successful candidate will perform a combination of carpentry, plumbing, demolition, finish work, and general construction tasks while supporting renovation projects from start to finish.

Company-sponsored health insurance with 100% employee-only premium coverage.

Read and follow project plans while maintaining a safe, organized, and productive job site.

What You'll Do

Perform hands-on construction tasks including demolition, site preparation, grading, drainage improvements, excavation support, framing, drywall, finish carpentry, and general renovation work.

Execute work with precision and consistency, following established plans, scopes, and quality standards.

Safely operate hand tools, power tools, saws, and measurement equipment.

Complete assigned tasks independently while collaborating with the broader construction crew.

Maintain clean, organized job sites and ensure tools and equipment are kept in good working condition.

Support other crews or projects as needed based on schedule and workload.

Follow safety protocols at all times and contribute to a jobsite culture focused on doing things right.

We're Looking For

3-5+ years of hands-on experience in residential construction, apartment renovations, remodeling, maintenance, or related construction trades.

Demonstrated experience performing common residential plumbing repairs, and troubleshooting basic plumbing issues is preferred but not required.

Strong carpentry skills with experience in framing, drywall, trim, doors, cabinets, punch work, and general interior renovations.

Experience operating construction equipment such as skid steers, mini excavators, backhoes, or loaders is preferred but not required.

Comfortable working from project scopes, work orders, and supervisor direction while completing work independently.

Detail-oriented with a commitment to producing high-quality, move-in ready apartment homes.

Safety-minded with a strong understanding of OSHA standards and safe jobsite practices.

Dependable, self-motivated, and able to work both independently and as part of a construction team.

Reliable attendance and the ability to travel between properties within the Jackson metropolitan area.

Valid driver's license with reliable transportation to and from job sites.
