You’ll work directly with the Field Superintendent and project team to support daily construction activities and help keep the project moving forward.
What You’ll Do
• Assist the Field Superintendent with daily construction activities, general labor, material handling, and other jobsite tasks to support efficient field operations.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and orderly jobsite by managing housekeeping, organizing storage areas, and helping establish and maintain temporary facilities, signage, barricades, and site security measures.
• Assist with receiving, inspecting, organizing, securing, and tracking material and equipment deliveries, keeping inventory records accurate and supplies accessible.
• Support field measurements, layout verifications, quantity tracking, and other basic construction activities as directed by the Field Superintendent.
• Observe work in progress to identify potential quality concerns, site issues, or schedule conflicts, and communicate findings to the appropriate team members.
• Support jobsite safety by assisting with daily inspections, monitoring proper use of personal protective equipment, following company and OSHA requirements, and promptly reporting unsafe conditions.
• Document project progress through photographs and field observations, help prepare and complete punch lists, protect completed work from damage, and keep tools and equipment organized.
What You’ll Bring
• A high school diploma or GED.
• Previous construction experience is preferred, but a strong work ethic and willingness to learn are essential.
• A basic understanding of construction tools, materials, and jobsite safety practices.
• The ability to read a tape measure and perform basic construction math.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively with supervisors, subcontractors, and coworkers.
• A positive, dependable, hands-on approach and the ability to perform physical work in varying weather conditions.
• A valid driver’s license, automobile insurance, and a driving record that meets company insurance requirements.
Why Work With Us at Gorman
• Competitive hourly pay starting at $24-$38/hour based on experience.
• Gain hands-on experience working on a 200-unit multifamily development in Milwaukee, with two 100-unit phases and anticipated completion in mid-2028.
• Build practical construction skills while learning from experienced field leadership and working alongside a collaborative project team.
• Enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; short- and long-term disability coverage; and an employee assistance program.
• Plan for your future with a 401(k) retirement plan featuring a 6% company match.
