• Strong background in both residential and commercial work
• Completed apprenticeship strongly preferred
• Comfortable leading projects without needing hands‑on training
• Natural leadership qualities or prior leadership experience
• High integrity, reliability, and pride in craftsmanship
• Self‑starter who is motivated by growth and ownership
• Valid driver's license and own reliable vehicle required; regular travel throughout the Phoenix metro area is part of the role.
