About the role

• Set posts, hang fabric, install gates, and ensure quality workmanship
• Read and execute construction plans (paper and digital)
• Keep projects on schedule and crews productive
• Enforce jobsite safety standards
• Cook directly with contractors and site supervisors
• Solve problems in real time to keep jobs moving

• Able to read and interpret construction drawings
• Physically capable of working outdoors in Texas conditions
• Clean driving record, clean background, drug-free
• Strong work ethic and leadership presence
