• Load, unload, and organize construction materials and equipment.
• Perform repairs, adjustments, and general installation tasks as directed.
• Maintain clean and organized jobsites and assist with cleanup when needed.
• Follow all jobsite safety procedures.

Requirements

• Previous experience in construction, landscape installation, fencing, concrete work, or similar hands-on labor.
• Must have experience using hand and power tools.
• Ability to accurately read a tape measure.
• Comfortable digging, lifting, carrying materials, and working outdoors.
• Ability to lift approximately 50–75 lbs.
• Willingness to learn fence installation techniques and assist experienced crew members.
• Reliable transportation and dependable attendance.
• Ability to work overtime when needed.
• Steel-toe boots required.

Preferred Experience

• Metal cutting and assembly
• Construction site preparation
• Use of post-hole diggers, augers, grinders, and drills

Ideal Candidate: Someone who has worked on a construction, landscaping, or installation crew, knows their way around basic tools, and isn't afraid of physically demanding outdoor work. Previous fencing experience is a bonus, but a strong work ethic and practical hands-on skills are most important.
