• General carpentry and fabrication experience
• Experience reading drawings, measurements, and site plans
• Experience with concrete forms and basic foundations
• Understanding of low-voltage LED wiring and components
• Strong problem-solving ability in the field
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work outdoors, and work at heights (bucket trucks, ladders)
• Valid driver’s license (CDL is a plus)

Additional Experience

• Construction or general contracting background
• Mechanical or automotive experience
• Metal fabrication or machining
• Crane or rigging experience
• Sign installation experience (not required)
• OSHA 10/30 certification
• CDL or experience driving larger trucks
