Job Title: Skilled Construction Laborer – Drywall

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:45 AM – 4:30 PM
Pay: $18–$23/hour (based on experience)
Location: Salem, OR


About the Role:

We’re a growing drywall company looking to add a Skilled Construction Laborer to our crew. This is a hands-on role for someone with experience in construction or drywall work who also brings a mature mindset, strong work ethic, and a willingness to lead by example.

You’ll be working with a team that includes younger, motivated individuals, and we're looking for someone who can help guide, teach, and keep the job moving — someone who’s dependable, grounded, and wants to be part of something long-term.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Assist with drywall installation: hanging, taping, mudding, sanding

  • Load and unload materials, carry drywall sheets, and prep work areas

  • Operate hand and power tools safely and efficiently (screw guns, saws, lifts)

  • Maintain clean and organized job sites

  • Help train and support less experienced crew members

  • Communicate clearly with foreman and team members

  • Follow job plans, schedules, and safety procedures

  • Pitch in wherever needed to keep the project on track


What We’re Really Looking For:

  • Mature and reliable — you show up on time and ready to work every day

  • Leadership-minded — not a boss, but a steady hand others can follow

  • Work ethic over ego — we value accountability more than experience

  • Sees the big picture — understands quality matters as much as speed

  • Team player — works well with others and takes pride in shared success

  • Good attitude — respectful, calm under pressure, and easy to be around


Required Skills & Experience:

  • 2+ years in construction or drywall (hanging, finishing, or general labor)

  • Familiar with tools like T-squares, taping knives, mud pans, screw guns, lifts

  • Able to lift and carry drywall and materials (50lbs)

  • Comfortable working at heights or on scaffolding when needed

  • Familiar with basic job site safety and OSHA standards

  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

  • Positive references or work history preferred
