We’re hiring. Looking to fill a position for gutter installer. Looking for someone who can handle moving ladders and doing physical work all day, that are consistent and communicative with good work ethic. There is room to grow beyond $22 an hour. I start with a minimum 2.5k/mo, regardless of if there's enough work to keep a crew busy. Pay is twice a month.
Job requirements:
Be able to handle moving and setting up ladders up to 24ft without help.
No fear of heights.
Own an alarm clock and know how to program it.
Have the ability to drive yourself to job sites. (On long drives we will carpool in one of the company’s trucks)
Own rain gear and be comfortable working in all weather conditions (we cancel for thunder/lightning and heavy snow/ice but nothing else).
In certain months we occasionally deal with bees.
Job duties on a typical day;
Show up to the job site which I'll send addresses for in advance. Remove the existing gutters and downspouts without damaging the property. Measure for and install new seamless gutters. Often but not always install gutter protection. Cut up old gutters into small sections stacked into each other. Clean up job site and head home or to the next job depending.
We usually start 9am and work till the job is done, on particularly large jobs till 5pm or dark depending. We work Monday-Friday. Most of the work is local in the greater Portland area. The ad is listed as part time but it varies week to week, some weeks will have overtime some will be 25 hours. The majority of the time its 30-40 hours March-October and 25 hours November-February. Typically jobs take one day OR there is more than one per day. Usually, houses are 1-2 stories tall, rarely 3. We are intentional about the jobs we take on and safety is a priority.
Pay starts at $22/hr for everyone. In the first 30 days I decide if I will keep an employee on or not based on work performance. This could be a single day, or it could be the full 30. Raises are possible and likely for hardworking individuals, and initial pay may increase based on experience. Crew leads in particular earn more ($25-35/hr). If a crew lead position opens, I’ll select from the employees I have for who can be a crew lead if we have someone suitable.
Further, I pay a $2,500/mo minimum (so if I'm not selling enough jobs for $22/hr to be $1,250 per pay period, I will pay for that many hours regardless. This number is divided by 10, if there is a day an employee is scheduled to work that they don't show up, I won't pay $125 of the $1250 salary on that pay period). This way, you've got guaranteed minimum for not coming to work if there is none or you've got higher income when there's more work.
We will be selling the company at the end of the year and it's likely existing employees will become the crew lead with the new owner.
We are looking for good employees that want to work.
