CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANT — RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION

Alexander Walker Homes / Max Flo Construction
Columbus / Powell, Ohio
Full-Time, Permanent | Primarily Field-Based
$22–$27 per hour, based on experience

PLEASE READ THE POSITION REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE APPLYING.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a career in residential construction and grow toward a Project Manager or Superintendent role.

This position combines jobsite coordination with practical field work. Your day may include checking subcontractor progress, documenting a punch list, picking up materials, helping with a rental-property repair, and updating ownership on what needs attention.

You do not need years of project management experience. You do need reliability, organization, clear communication, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in working on construction sites.

ABOUT US

Alexander Walker Homes / Max Flo Construction is a family-owned real estate and construction company in Central Ohio. Our work includes new homes, residential renovations, rental turns, property maintenance, and repairs.

You will work closely with ownership and experienced construction professionals. Responsibility will increase as you demonstrate good judgment, follow-through, and the ability to handle assignments independently.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Visit jobsites to check progress, workmanship, safety, and upcoming needs.

• Help coordinate subcontractors, vendors, inspections, and schedules.

• Follow up on incomplete work and communicate delays or problems early.

• Assist with material ordering, pickups, deliveries, and jobsite logistics.

• Help complete quality-control walks, punch lists, and rental turns.

• Keep project photos, schedules, task lists, and updates organized.

• Assist with basic repairs, maintenance, cleanup, and smaller construction tasks when appropriate.

• Learn to identify field problems, ask useful questions, and help develop solutions.

• Gradually take ownership of smaller projects as your skills develop.

• Participate in a rotating after-hours schedule for true rental-property emergencies.

REQUIREMENTS — PLEASE CONFIRM THESE BEFORE APPLYING

• Available for permanent, full-time work Monday–Friday during normal construction/jobsite hours.

• Able to work onsite throughout the Columbus/Powell area.

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for travel between jobsites and material pickups.

• Comfortable spending most of the workday in the field.

• Willing to occasionally perform basic construction, repair, maintenance, and cleanup tasks.

• Comfortable with the $22–$27/hour compensation range.

• Willing to participate in the rotating emergency schedule.

• Currently authorized to work in the United States without requiring current or future employer sponsorship.

If you need to relocate, explain your relocation plan and the date you can begin working onsite.

WHAT WE VALUE MOST

• Showing up prepared and following through.

• Keeping track of details without constant reminders.

• Communicating professionally with ownership, subcontractors, vendors, and residents.

• Taking responsibility when something goes wrong.

• Asking for guidance before attempting work beyond your training.

• Learning from feedback and taking on increasing responsibility.

• Treating routine maintenance and smaller assignments with the same care as larger projects.

HELPFUL EXPERIENCE — NOT ALL REQUIRED

• Construction Management coursework or a degree.

• Construction internships, co-ops, or field experience.

• Residential construction, remodeling, carpentry, maintenance, landscaping, or other practical trade experience.

• Reading construction plans.

• Scheduling, estimating, material tracking, or project documentation.
