Job Overview
I own a construction and remodeling company and a property management company, both in the Minnetonka/Excelsior area. I am looking for someone to help me full/part time. We do everything such as remodels, home improvement, landscaping, mowing, snow removal and repairs of many things. I also do a lot of stuff around my own home, fixing vehicles, mowers, building stuff for jobs, etc.
I am looking for a laborer for week days and weekends. Little experience in carpentry is A-Okay, as long as you are willing to work hard, use common sense, and learn.
Please know that the schedule is not consistent. We shoot for 8:00-5:00, but it doesn't always work out like that. Some days are more, some are less. Some jobs require us to work there only after hours while their business is closed. There will be some days randomly where I won't need you at all, and occasional emergencies where I need you last minute. This is why proximity to Minnetonka is incredibly important. Ideally, we would like to hire someone who lives within 10 Minutes of Minnetonka High school. Unfortunately, we cannot accept students or already employed persons. We have in the past, but those prior obligations take place during the same hours we would need you.
All workers are required to be respectful, responsible, punctual, have a vehicle and license, and a clear background check. Workers must be physically capable of doing heavy lifting and working in the hot sun/cold winter air.
My daughter has been my righthand for 15+ years and will continue doing the office work and the majority of property management. Since her back injury, she has been cutting back hours on the physical labor end of things, which is where I need you.
If you like dad jokes, having a flexible schedule, working for a respectful family company, and would like to learn many useful things, please apply for this job and we can get started.
Winter: I need a physically able and dependable shoveler or two, maybe you and a reliable friend, for every accumulating snowfall. Proximity to Hopkins/Minnetonka/Excelsior is incredibly important. The ability to commute safely during snowfall during daylight and dusk is necessary. We all know how Minnesota winters go, this work can't be scheduled ahead of time so we all watch the weather and do our best to plan accordingly. I have all the shovels you could ever need and possibly a snow blower for your use if your vehicle can transport it. I plow with my truck. Let me know if you have a plow truck.
Summer: Lawn care includes mowing, weeding, spring and fall clean up, etc. I have push mowers for you to use and all other necessary equipment. I also have a zero turn I use to mow that you may use (if you have experience)
My biggest current issue with workers is the no call no shows. I schedule work being done at customer's homes days in advance, after checking with my worker(s) they can work that day. If they don't show up and/or at least let me know, it messes my entire schedule and deadlines. Please only inquire if you will stick to your word on your availability. (Emergencies are a totally different story. There are plenty of things more important than work. All I ask is that you let me know as soon as you get an inkling of not being able to show up when you thought you could).
Past workers have benefitted from my help on their homes and vehicles, being able to hire a friend to help them on my jobs (paid through me), unlimited time off -scheduled and/or emergency, occasional free lunches, and use of my equipment outside of work.
Apply today! Answer some questions, we'll chat for a bit, and we can do a trial period (paid) to make sure the job is the correct fit for you! Feel free to ask any questions about the job!
