- Show up prepared, on time, and ready to work
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe jobsite
- Have the judgment to know when to make a decision and when to ask a question

- Pay up to $30/hour for the right candidate, based on experience, capability, and demonstrated skill
- Consistent opportunity with an established construction and restoration company
