About The Position

HouseSmart Construction is seeking a dependable construction laborer to support manufactured-home setup and installation at home sites. This hands-on, outdoor role is suited to someone who takes pride in quality work, follows safety practices, and enjoys contributing to a team. The Construction Laborer works under the direction of the Crew Chief and supports site preparation, setup, construction, and cleanup activities.

This is an entry-level role with hands-on training provided. Construction experience is a plus but is not required. Work hours vary according to delivery schedules, job-site conditions, travel, and project needs. The schedule is Monday through Friday, and flexibility is important because some days may finish early while others may require additional time to complete work safely and efficiently.

The role requires physical work outdoors in varying weather conditions, including standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, and crawling beneath homes for extended periods. Employees must be able to lift, carry, push, and pull materials and equipment weighing up to 50 pounds, and travel to assigned job sites as needed. Some positions require operating company vehicles and meeting specific driving qualifications. Those positions require a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record, with an MVR check conducted during pre-employment screening. For positions requiring DOT compliance, candidates must be at least 21 and obtain and maintain a valid DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate by completing a DOT physical.
