- Site Leadership & Quality Control: Oversee daily job site progress, enforce strict safety standards, manage material deliveries, and maintain clean, professional client job sites.
- Client Communication: Act as the primary technical point-of-contact on site, walking homeowners through daily progress, addressing concerns, and delivering top-tier customer service.
- Schedule & Budget Alignment: Ensure projects move forward efficiently to meet target completion dates and commission benchmarks.
Qualifications & Requirements

- Licensing & Documentation: Valid PA Driver’s License with a clean driving record.
- Physical Demands: Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly, work in varying job site conditions, operate heavy power tools, and work on ladders.
Compensation & Benefits
- Total Target Compensation:$80,000 – $90,000 annually, structured as a stable base salary coupled with regular project-based revenue commissions.
- Work-Life Balance: Consistent, reliable schedule (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; no mandatory weekend shifts).
- Steady Work Pipeline: Consistent year-round project queue across the Allentown-Scranton corridor—no need to spend time bidding jobs or chasing client invoices.
