Who are we?
We are a relatively small, and family owned company that has been employing, training and building life-long partnerships with our employees for over 45 years.

What do we do?
We do commercial construction work of all kinds. Where we focus our attention tends to be in the hospital and healthcare sector. We have partnerships with all of the largest hospitals around the greater Springfield Area. When you become a member of our team, its almost like becoming an employee of all of the hospitals too. You get to know and build relationships with their staff. You'll become comfortable in the facilities. Also- hospitals give us work YEAR round, which means layoffs are infrequent and short-lived. We keep a small crew for the expressed purpose of not laying off our employees, so it really only happens once in a blue moon and would rarely last longer than a week.
What we can offer you:
- An opportunity to never have to search for another job again. Continue and end your career as one of our Team-members. So long as you show up to work, ready to work and your philosophy is compatible with ours, you will have a life-long career with us. Our ideal employee would enjoy a team environment where his/her coworkers become like friends and family.
-We break up our talented workforce of carpenters into tiered categories, depending on experience level. When you sit down with us for a job interview, we will take a look at our tiers and come to an agreement on which one best describes your current skill level. You are handed a packet of information which tells you in very plain terms, the requirements of each level and what you'll need to accomplish at your given level in order to "Level-up" or receive a promotion. As a team, we track your progress and help you achieve your goals. We think that this creates a roadmap for our employees to follow, so that they're never in the dark in what is expected of them. It works to create an environment of CLARITY and SHARED accountability.
- Employee bonus program.
- Generous benefits.
- Competitive pay.
- Honest, fair and friendly relationship between employer and employee.
- Work in a sector which doesn't experience much, if any, market hostility so getting laid off is not a common occurrence.
Here is the kicker. There is TREMENDOUS opportunity for growth at our company right now. In the next 5 years, many of our senior Superintendents and Foreman will be hanging up their tool-belts. Young men and women looking to work hard to learn and grow with us will be rewarded a life-long career and job stability. Get one job, and never have to worry about being without work for the rest of your life.

You do not need to be CAPT. Smiley McHappy but if you do not enjoy doing this job as a career, maybe you should be working in a different industry. Yea Work is tough and sometimes it can be a real pain in the ass, but solving problems and building things should be what excites you and makes you want to get up in the morning. This is what we do, so try not to show up everyday looking like somebody spit in your cheerios. Sense of humor is a plus too.
- You need to have your own wheels to get to and from the job.
