Typical Workday

Your day kicks off at the Hebron, IL shop with a short safety check and a quick review of the project plan, then you load tools and materials and head out. Travel is part of the job—some days are long drives, with onsite stays for 7–10 days and other days are local. On location, you rotate between staging, measuring, and assembly so the install stays on pace. You’ll get clear direction from the lead, ask questions when something doesn’t match the specs, and keep the area clean as you go. Wrap up by securing equipment, doing a final sweep, and setting up the next day’s needs.
