About The Position

Acton ADU is a design-build company that has spent more than 35 years helping California homeowners get more from the properties they love.

We operate on one promise: no surprises. Thoughtful procedures and pride in quality make that promise real, on every project, for every homeowner.

  • Exceptional time management and organizational skills. You handle competing priorities and deadlines with minimal supervision
  • A true self-starter, detail-oriented and dedicated to getting things right, every time
