Construction Laborer

We are growing and seeking skilled, reliable construction professionals to join our team specializing in full-scale commercial remodels and renovations of convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery/retail locations. This hands-on role involves all phases of interior remodel work - from demolition through finish installations - to modernize store layouts, improve functionality, and enhance customer experience. Projects typically include updating sales floors, checkout areas, coolers, backrooms, and more. Ideal for experienced carpenters, remodel technicians, or multi-trade construction workers who thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven retail environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform interior demolition: safely remove existing fixtures, cabinetry, countertops, drywall, flooring, drop ceilings, shelving, and other elements while protecting adjacent areas and minimizing dust/debris.
• Frame and build structural elements: install metal or wood stud framing for walls, partitions, bulkheads, and soffits as needed for new layouts.
• Install drywall: measure, cut, hang, tape, mud, and finish sheetrock to prepare for final surfaces.
• Apply FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) panels: install FRP wall panels in high-moisture areas like food prep, coolers, restrooms, and behind counters for durability and easy cleaning.
• Install drop/suspended ceilings: set up grid systems, cut and place acoustic or specialty ceiling tiles, and integrate lighting fixtures or HVAC diffusers.
• Perform tile work: install ceramic, porcelain, or vinyl tile flooring, cove base, and wall tile in sales areas, restrooms, and break rooms (includes layout, cutting, thin-set/mortar application, grouting, and sealing).
• Install metal cabinets, shelving, and countertops: accurately measure, level, and secure stainless steel, powder-coated metal, or laminate cabinets, gondola shelving, display cases, and commercial-grade countertops.
• Relocate and reinstall equipment: safely disconnect, move, and reconnect retail equipment such as coolers, freezers, gondolas, POS systems, shelving units, refrigeration cases, and other fixtures (basic electrical/plumbing knowledge a plus for minor hookups).
• Maintain clean, safe job sites: daily cleanup, debris removal, dust control, and adherence to OSHA/safety protocols in occupied retail stores.
• Collaborate with team leads, subcontractors (e.g., electricians, plumbers), store management, and vendors to meet project timelines.
• Provide progress updates, photos, and reports as required.

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in commercial construction, retail remodels, interior finish work, or related fields (convenience store/gas station/grocery remodel experience strongly preferred).
• Proficiency in multiple trades: framing, drywall hanging/finishing, drop ceiling installation, tile setting, and cabinet/countertop installation.
• Experience working with metal cabinets, FRP panels, and commercial equipment relocation.
• Valid driver's license with clean record (travel to job sites required; company vehicle may be provided for out-of-town projects).
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work on ladders/scaffolding, and perform physical labor for full shifts.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to work efficiently under tight remodel schedules (often overnight or off-hours to minimize store disruption).
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel regionally/nationally as projects demand (home time scheduled).
• Basic hand/power tools (or willingness to acquire); company provides specialty tools and safety equipment.
• High school diploma or equivalent; trade school/vocational training in carpentry/construction a plus.
• OSHA 10-hour certification (or willingness to obtain) preferred.
