Builders Assistant

Oxnard CA

Description

I am a general contractor working for Lawn Master (lawn-master.com), the nations premier manufacturer of all wood, outdoor shade structures. I am looking to hire an individual to assist me with the building of pergolas, gazebos & pavilions throughout the greater LA area. This position does not require a construction background, but familiarity with the use of some basic power tools like an air nailer, hammer drill, regular drill, circular saw, chainsaw, etc. is helpful. As contractor, I will provide all tools, equipment & materials to complete each build, along w/ round trip transportation to & from each days job. As assistant, your primary duties will include the following: - help load & unload materials & equipment from the trailer/tow vehicle - assist w/ preparing job site for setting of structure posts (either physically digging post holes or setting anchors in cement) - assisting w/ overall build of structure (nailing headers in place, drilling holes for header support bolts, etc.) - assisting w/ job site cleanup & reloading equipment, materials & job debris back onto trailer/tow vehicle This position is physically demanding as we are working w/ rough cut lumber that can weigh in excess of 200lbs. Please do not respond if you are not able to lift/carry this amount or are not able to work outside on your feet for 8 hours a day. This position will also require you to successfully pass a background check. Finally, this position does not pay by the hour, instead it pays 20% of each jobs payout. Currently, the average daily build is around $750, which would be $150 to you (before taxes). And as we become a better, faster working team, we will be assigned larger builds or multiple single day builds which means more money to you. If you are interested in this position, please respond to this CL ad w/ some information about yourself, your contact information & your relevant experience. Thank you, Michael
