• Physically capable of standing, walking, lifting (up to 50 lbs), and using tools for extended periods.
• Willingness to work as part of a team and follow safety protocols at all times.
• Prior experience in general labor, landscaping, construction, or sanitation is a plus—but not required.
• Must pass a drug screening and background check.
