Job Description
This position is available to anyone that is interested in getting involved in the construction industry and is willing to learn and grow within our company. We are looking for a responsible, trustworthy individual that can adapt and solve problems. Our goal is to train and educate our Field Assistants so they will have the skills and managerial abilities to become a Superintendent, and run their own jobs.

As a Field Assistant you will learn how to layout walls, frame/hang/finish drywall, install backing, paint, install doors, door frames and hardware, learn acoustical ceiling installation, coordinate subcontractors, learn to communicate with building inspectors and owners.
The Field Assistant works in unison and reports directly to the Superintendent. The onsite team works with and is in constant communication with the Project Manager. This team works together to actively manage the project until completion. It is understood that the Field Assistant has the full resources and support of Interior Buildouts and that we see this position as an extension of our entire team and office.
