Overview
We are a small but specialized concrete cutting and excavation contractor looking to grow. Specifically, we are looking to start a waterproofing division in the coming 2026 season.
Seeking someone experienced in hot applied waterproofing who is interested in joining our small team. The ideal candidate will have more than 3 seasons of experience working for a reputable *commercial* installer. Not necessarily someone who has run their own crew and has 20+ years experience but someone who understands waterproofing, can work on a team and has a clean driving record. This is a new area of work for us. As such, it is unlikely that every single day of the season will be spent waterproofing. The ideal candidate would be willing to aid in other projects; mostly concrete cutting and excavation.
