AKN INTERIORS

Residential Construction Laborer

Location: Bethel Park, PA (Daily travel to residential job sites throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area.)

Build Your Construction Career on High-Quality Residential Projects

AKN Interiors is a fast-growing design-build remodeling company specializing in custom kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home renovations, additions, and detailed interior remodeling. Every project is professionally designed and supported by architectural or technical drawings, an assigned Project Manager, and an organized office team.

We are seeking a dependable, hardworking Residential Construction Laborer to support our carpenters, Project Managers, and other field team members on residential remodeling projects throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, wants steady year-round employment, and is interested in developing broader construction and remodeling skills. You will work alongside experienced tradespeople on customized residential projects rather than repetitive production construction.

The right person takes pride in being reliable, works safely, keeps jobsites organized, follows direction well, and is willing to learn. Previous construction or remodeling experience is preferred, but we will consider candidates with strong mechanical aptitude, a good work ethic, and the right attitude.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist carpenters and other skilled team members with residential remodeling work in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and other interior spaces.
• Perform demolition and carefully remove cabinets, flooring, drywall, fixtures, trim, and other existing materials as directed.
• Load, unload, move, stage, and organize construction materials, tools, and equipment.
• Assist with basic framing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, trim, painting, and other remodeling tasks based on experience and training.
• Prepare work areas before construction activities begin.
• Protect floors, furniture, finishes, and other areas of clients' homes before and during construction.
• Maintain clean, safe, and organized jobsites throughout the workday.
• Remove construction debris and assist with dumpster loading and jobsite cleanup.
• Assist with material pickups, deliveries, and movement between job sites when needed.
• Use basic hand tools and power tools safely and properly.
• Set up and break down tools, equipment, ladders, temporary protection, and work areas.
• Follow architectural drawings, project instructions, and directions provided by the assigned Project Manager or lead carpenter.
• Identify jobsite conditions or potential problems and communicate them promptly to the appropriate team member.
• Help maintain and care for company tools, equipment, vehicles, and materials.
• Follow company safety procedures and all applicable jobsite requirements.
• Communicate professionally and respectfully with coworkers, subcontractors, Project Managers, and homeowners.
• Assist with punch-list items and final project cleanup.
• Help deliver a finished project that meets AKN Interiors' standards for quality, cleanliness, and client experience.

Qualifications

• Previous residential construction, remodeling, carpentry, demolition, maintenance, or comparable hands-on experience is preferred.
• Experience with kitchen and bathroom remodeling is an asset but is not required.
• Familiarity with basic hand tools and power tools is preferred.
• Basic knowledge of construction materials and residential building practices is an asset.
• Ability and willingness to learn new construction skills and take direction from experienced team members.
• Strong work ethic, dependability, and consistent attendance.
• Ability to arrive at job sites on time and prepared to work.
• Strong attention to detail and respect for clients' homes and property.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work productively without constant supervision once a task has been explained.
• Willingness to perform a wide range of construction-related tasks as project needs change.
• Comfortable working in occupied homes and maintaining a professional appearance and attitude around homeowners.
• Comfortable working in a technology-forward company and using mobile applications for project communication, scheduling, time tracking, or documentation.
• Experience using JobTread or another construction-management platform is an asset but is not required.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation are required.
• Ability to travel directly to job sites throughout Greater Pittsburgh, including areas such as Robinson, Wexford, Fox Chapel, Sewickley, Upper St. Clair, Mount Lebanon, Squirrel Hill, and Shadyside.
• Willingness to travel between multiple job sites in the same day when needed.
• Ability to lift and carry at least 50 pounds.
• Ability to climb ladders, kneel, bend, crouch, carry materials, and work on your feet throughout the day.
• Ability to safely perform physical construction work in active remodeling environments.
• Comfortable working in conditions that may occasionally involve dust, noise, temperature changes, and demolition debris.

Experience is valuable, but attitude and reliability matter. Candidates who are mechanically inclined, eager to learn, and interested in building a long-term career in residential construction are encouraged to apply.

Pay and Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, year-round employment.
• Pay: $22 - 26 per hour, based on experience, demonstrated ability, and construction knowledge.
• Company health insurance plan with a substantial employer contribution.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Two weeks of paid time off annually, including one flexible week and the company's scheduled holiday closure between Christmas and New Year's.
• Parental leave.
• Major tools and equipment provided by the company.
• Organized projects supported by detailed drawings and a dedicated Project Manager.
• Hands-on opportunity to learn from experienced residential carpenters and construction professionals.
• Opportunities to develop carpentry and remodeling skills and take on increased responsibility.
• Clear opportunity for advancement into skilled field positions as experience and ability grow.
• AKN Interiors promotes leadership growth and career development from within the company.
• Applicants with criminal records are encouraged to apply.

Schedule: Full-time, Monday-Friday, typically 7:30 AM-4:00 PM. Occasional overtime may be available based on project schedules.

Why AKN Interiors?

AKN Interiors is built differently from the disorganized remodeling environments many construction workers have experienced. Our projects are professionally designed, supported by detailed documentation, and managed by a dedicated Project Manager. Our field team works closely with designers, project managers, and company leadership to keep projects organized and moving forward.

For someone who wants to build a career in residential construction, this position offers the opportunity to work alongside experienced tradespeople and gain exposure to many parts of the remodeling process. You will work on custom kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and whole-home renovations rather than performing the same task every day.

We value people who show up, work hard, take care of the client's home, support their teammates, and want to improve their skills. As AKN Interiors continues to grow, dependable employees who demonstrate initiative and develop their abilities will have opportunities to take on more responsibility and advance within the company.
