Description
Summary:
Join a small, family-owned company building custom decks and outdoor living spaces, where you'll learn a skilled trade and grow your carpentry expertise.
Highlights:
1. Opportunity to learn and develop skilled carpentry and deck-building tasks
2. Work alongside experienced builders on custom projects
3. Focus on character, reliability, and attitude; skill can be taught
Wight’s Deck+Design is a small, family-owned company specializing in custom decks and outdoor living spaces throughout Snohomish County and the Eastside.
We are looking for another full-time crew member to join our small construction team.
Construction experience is helpful, but not required. We are more interested in finding someone dependable, hardworking, positive, and interested in learning a skilled trade. We can teach you how to build.
This is not a large production construction company. We work as a small crew, typically completing one custom project at a time. Our work ranges from deck framing and composite/PVC decking to railings, stairs, roofs, soffit ceilings, lighting, and other detailed outdoor construction.
What You’ll Do
* Work alongside our crew building custom decks and outdoor living spaces
* Carry and organize lumber and construction materials
* Demo existing decks and structures
* Dig, pour concrete, frame, cut, fasten, and assemble
* Learn proper use of saws, drills, nail guns, and other construction tools
* Keep jobsites organized and clean
* Learn increasingly skilled carpentry and deck-building tasks as you develop
* Work outside year-round in Western Washington
We’re Looking for Someone Who
* Shows up on time, every day
* Works hard and doesn’t need to be constantly pushed
* Enjoys physical, outdoor work
* Pays attention and learns quickly
* Takes pride in doing things correctly
* Can follow directions and communicate well
* Is respectful around homeowners, coworkers, and neighbors
* Works safely and pays attention to their surroundings
* Wants to learn and become more valuable over time
* Has a positive attitude and works well on a small team
We care a lot about character, reliability, and attitude. Skill can be taught. A good work ethic is much harder to teach.
Requirements
* 18 years or older
* Valid Washington driver’s license
* Reliable transportation
* Able to repeatedly lift and carry approximately 50 lbs
* Comfortable working outdoors in heat, cold, and rain
* Smartphone
* Able to pass a background check
* Drug-free workplace
Hours & Pay
* Full-time, Monday–Friday
* Typical hours: 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
* Starting pay $20-$28/hour depending on experience and ability
* Overtime opportunities
* Bonus opportunities
* Opportunity for raises as your skills and responsibilities increase
* Year-round work
Why Work With Us?
This can be more than a temporary labor job.
If you’re motivated, we’ll teach you how to build high-quality custom decks and outdoor structures and give you opportunities to take on more skilled work and responsibility. You will work directly alongside experienced builders rather than being one person on a huge construction site.
We’re looking for someone who wants to become an important part of a small company and grow their skills, responsibility, and pay over time.
