Everyone on the team is expected to contribute where needed. We are not looking for someone who believes certain jobs are beneath them.
Skills & Requirements

You should be able to:

Personal Character Requirements
Character matters as much as skill. We are looking for someone who is:
- Honest, ethical and trustworthy
- Punctual, dependable and hardworking
- Detail-oriented and committed to quality
- Proactive and capable of solving problems
- Respectful toward customers, coworkers and other trades
- Willing to acknowledge and correct mistakes
