Part-time Construction Supt/Carpenter/Handyman DFW

Dallas TX

Description

I am in need of a part-time experienced working commercial construction superintendent, carpenter or handyman. This person could be "retired", in-between jobs or currently employed. Future work will vary based on the number of service calls we get in but will probably be a few hours a month to start with and will likely lead to more service calls per month. The majority of jobs will be in the DFW area but a few jobs (if you are willing to drive) might be within an hour plus drive. All of these jobs would be independent work that is typically real flexible and can be scheduled around your work/school/church and family hours. Some of the work would need to be done "after retail hours" - (early mornings or late evenings) but could be scheduled any day/night of the week including weekends. Most of the work is interior so we hardly ever get rained out. The majority of the jobs are for quality national retail stores or restaurant chains. I will pay for ALL of your time and your gas to drive to and from these jobs whether it is for a survey, pictures, an estimate or the actual job itself. I would prefer that you are located in or near Dallas NOTICE - WE ARE FINISHING UP A REMODEL OF AN UPSCALE TEXAS BASED RESTAURANT CHAIN AND MY SUPT. WILL NEED SOME HELP THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK FOR SEVERAL NIGHTS. WORK MAY INCLUDE BASE INSTALLATION, HANGING LIGHT FIXTURES, CEILING TILE INSTALL + FURNITURE DEMO-INSTALLATION. ALL OF THE WORK WOULD BE DONE AFTER EVENING CLOSING AT 10 PM. PAYMENT WOULD BE MADE BY CHECK THIS FRIDAY AND NEXT FRIDAY. IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AS INSTRUCTED BELOW I am looking for someone that has prior commercial construction experience in some or most of the 10 following tasks and trades for the future jobs that will come. If you specialize or are limited with the following trades, please let me know and I can contact you when I need your skill in your location as required (i.e., electrician, plumber, flooring guy, etc. - higher pay rates). 1. Repair or patch/fix/skim drywall (small jobs) and working with interior FRP wall panels/trim pieces 2. Prepare, prime and paint interior walls/doors (not big jobs - you must be able to paint!) 3. Install commercial metal frames/doors/hardware/closers/panic bars/accessories 4. Repair/replace ceiling grid and tile or other various carpentry type repairs including wire shelving. 5. Install wood trim/rubber base + light floor repairs (ceramic/grouting/vinyl/carpet - small jobs) 6. Repair/adjust/install cabinet doors/hardware + bathroom hardware/accessories/grab bars 7. Be able to repair dumpster enclosures/swinging gates/fences and other misc. exterior repairs. 8. Have some light electrical skills for replacing can lights, 2x4 ceiling light fixtures, GFCI's, etc. 9. Chip out ceramic-quarry tiles, set new tiles, grout and clean-up (small jobs) 10. Have some light plumbing experience for fixing faucets, drain pipes/supply lines under a sink. You would need to have your own basic hand/power tools, own a reliable vehicle (preferably a pick-up truck or SUV but not required) and PPE Please DO NOT apply if you: are not physically fit (must be able to pick up 40 lbs.), use/abuse alcohol/drugs or have a recent felony conviction, are not punctual, are not organized, have personal hygiene issues, do not communicate well, are not able to work well with others or are not able to follow simple instructions (see my request for how to reply below)! You must be at least 25 years old, speak and understand English, be able to add/subtract and use a tape measure, have a state issued driver's license, have good hygiene/manners/people skills and own reliable transportation. You must be able to pass a drug test and background check. You also must own and be able to use a smart phone that can take and send pictures. Lastly, you must be able to COMMUNICATE throughout the job (ie: visit a store, look at the issue, give a quick estimate of the material and labor needed to do the repair, go buy the materials {I pay VISA over the phone for all materials}, do the work, take some pictures and then send {text/e-mail} me the info). I do not want to have to baby sit you! This is not a job for someone who needs me to put gas in their car to go look at the project or is down to their last dime. I don't want any drama and I am sure you don't want it from me either! I want you to be an independent sub-contractor but at the same time keep me up to date of what is going on with the job. I pay very quickly by sending a check by USPS out to you within 24 hours of you finishing a job. I get paid 90 days after I submit a billing to the corporate office. If you have read and understand all of the above, please send me a short e-mail with the following: 1. Commercial construction experience. If you only have residential, that may work as well. 2. If you own your own tools/PPE and what kind of vehicle you drive. 3. Your phone number so I can call you (I will be calling from a 205 phone prefix). I usually wait a few days to call someone after I review multiple replies. What is the best time for me to call you? Please make sure your voice-mail is set up! 4. Your first name and what you like to be called 5. What general area or town do you live in? I do not need your street address until I start sending you checks. 6. What hours do you typically have available to work and what you are currently doing? 7. Anything else about yourself that would be helpful for me to know. The successful applicants who have been hired in other cities, typically answer each question in order numerically and only send a resume if they have answered the 6 or 7 questions. If you DO NOT answer the six (6) questions above (you will FAIL the open book written test) and I will NOT call you. You are welcome to also include a resume but answering the 6 or 7 questions is critical! I have found that the people who can not answer these simple questions can not usually communicate very well. I own a small growing construction company which specializes in the interior construction, renovation and mostly repair of commercial retail stores in seven southern states. I have been in business since 2001 and work with a wide variety of well-known national retail stores. I have plenty of references that you can contact if you are concerned that this is scam. This is not a one and done proposition nor will it ever lead to a full-time job. It is what it is, part-time flexible work where you can use your construction talents and communication skills to make good money on the side. Business is starting to pick up in the DFW area and is making it where I need to hire someone in this market.
