Full-Time | Year-Round Indoor Work
$16/hour Base Pay + Up to $8/hour Performance Bonus
Potential Earnings Up to $24/hour for Top Performers
BUILD FOR A LIVING — WITHOUT WORKING OUT IN THE WEATHER
ShedMax is hiring skilled, dependable builders to construct portable storage sheds, garages, cabins, barns, and specialty buildings in our indoor production facility in Corbin, Kentucky.
This is a great opportunity for somebody who likes construction and working with their hands but is tired of muddy job sites, weather delays, constantly changing locations, and freezing outside all winter.
Our buildings are constructed indoors year-round.
- No muddy construction sites
- No driving from customer to customer
- No rain delays
- No working outside in freezing wind
- No setting up and tearing down a different job site every day
- Heated build bays during the winter
- Consistent production environment
- Steady year-round work
You come to the same facility, work with an organized team, and build real buildings from the ground up.
The work is still physical. You will lift lumber, climb ladders, frame buildings, operate saws and nail guns, install roofing and siding, and stay moving.
But you get to do it inside.
WE CAN TEACH OUR BUILDING SYSTEM. WE CANNOT TEACH HUSTLE, COMMON SENSE, PRECISION, OR PRIDE IN YOUR WORK.
Previous portable-building experience is NOT required.
A great carpenter, framer, handyman, deck builder, roofer, remodeler, shed builder, farmer, maintenance technician, mechanic, or experienced construction worker can become excellent at this job quickly.
If you already know how to:
- Read a tape measure
- Use construction tools
- Think through how things fit together
- Work accurately
- Solve problems
- Stay organized
- Hustle
- Take pride in what you build
We can teach you the ShedMax system.
We are much more interested in finding somebody with building logic and an independent thinker than somebody whose résumé happens to say “shed builder.”
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
Our builders take a project from a pile of lumber and materials to a completed building a customer will own for years.
Depending on your position and experience, you may:
- Build treated floor systems
- Frame walls
- Build and install roof systems and trusses
- Install siding
- Install metal roofing
- Frame door openings
- Build and install doors
- Install windows
- Install trim and finishing components
- Read measurements, layouts, and build specifications
- Use saws, drills, impacts, nail guns, staplers, squares, levels, ladders, and production equipment
- Check dimensions throughout construction
- Keep walls square and framing straight
- Make sure doors and openings fit properly
- Inspect your own work before passing the building to the next stage
- Keep your build bay clean and organized
- Maintain company tools and equipment
You aren't just hammering boards together.
You're building a complete structure.
SPEED MATTERS. QUALITY MATTERS. BOTH ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
Our performance bonus means there is real money available for people who produce.
But production does not mean throwing together sloppy buildings.
We don't want somebody who flies through a building and leaves:
- Crooked walls
- Bad cuts
- Poorly fitting doors
- Missed fasteners
- Uneven siding
- Ugly trim
- Material waste
- Rework for the next person
We also don't want somebody who takes eight hours to accomplish four hours of work.
The best ShedMax builders learn to do both: BUILD IT RIGHT + KEEP IT MOVING.
That's the person who earns the bonus.
WE WANT PEOPLE WHO THINK AHEAD
A great builder isn't only staring at the board directly in front of him.
He's thinking two or three steps ahead.
Throughout the build, you should naturally be asking yourself:
- Is this square?
- Is this straight?
- Are my measurements right?
- Is this wall drifting?
- Is this going to create a problem at the next step?
- Will that door opening be correct?
- Will the siding line up?
- Will the roof line up?
- Did I miss anything?
- Did somebody before me make a mistake that needs corrected?
- Does the entire building look right?
We want people who prevent problems instead of just discovering them later.
You aren't responsible only for the twelve inches directly in front of you.
If you see something wrong, say something.
If a coworker accidentally makes a bad measurement, catch it.
If something looks crooked, check it.
If a door doesn't operate properly, don't send it down the line.
If trim looks bad, fix it.
If something technically “works” but looks terrible, the job isn't finished.
We want builders who periodically step back and actually look at the building.
Straight. Square. Clean. Professional.
The customer doesn't care which employee made which part.
They see one ShedMax building.
TAKE CARE OF OUR TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Organization is part of being a professional builder.
We expect employees to:
- Know where their tools are
- Put tools back where they belong
- Keep their build bay organized
- Keep material organized
- Avoid unnecessary waste
- Report damaged equipment
- Take care of saws, nail guns, drills, ladders, carts, and production equipment
- Help keep the facility clean
- Treat company equipment like they personally paid for it
A missing tool can stop several people from working.
A messy station wastes time.
Careless material handling wastes money.
Good builders stay organized.
EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSFERS WELL
You could be an excellent ShedMax builder with experience in:
- Wood framing
- Residential construction
- Portable buildings
- Shed building
- Carpentry
- Deck building
- Remodeling
- Roofing
- Siding
- Pole barns
- Post-frame construction
- Cabinet or millwork production
- Manufacturing
- Farm construction
- Farm maintenance
- Mechanical work
- Industrial maintenance
- General handyman work
Portable-building experience is a plus, not a requirement.
A sharp handyman or carpenter with good construction instincts can outperform somebody with years of shed-building experience who is slow, careless, or unreliable.
YOU'LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS JOB IF:
- You like building things
- You like working with your hands
- You naturally stay busy
- You can accurately read a tape measure
- Crooked work bothers you
- You notice mistakes
- You think ahead
- You enjoy solving problems
- You like seeing what you accomplished at the end of the day
- You keep tools and materials organized
- You work well around other skilled people
- You want to become better at your trade
- You take pride in craftsmanship
- You want steady construction work without fighting the weather
- You like the idea of working inside year-round
- You want the opportunity to earn more by producing more
YOU'LL PROBABLY HATE THIS JOB IF:
- You need somebody constantly telling you what to do
- You move slowly unless somebody is watching
- You spend too much time on your phone
- You don't like physical work
- You guess instead of measuring
- “Close enough” is your normal standard
- You don't notice crooked or sloppy work
- You don't care what the finished product looks like
- You leave tools lying everywhere
- You waste materials
- You regularly show up late
- You frequently call in
- You think another employee's mistake is “not my problem”
- You are looking for an easy job where you can coast through the day
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Our production system depends on having a complete and dependable team every day.
When someone doesn't show up, another builder has to cover the work, production slows down, and the entire team is affected.
We understand legitimate emergencies happen.
But if you regularly:
- Oversleep
- Call in
- Arrive late
- Need to leave early
- Have transportation problems
- Have something come up every week
- Need repeated reminders to get to work
this isn't going to be a good fit.
We need people we can count on.

We don't believe the only way to make more money should be waiting around for another anniversary.
