  • Install exterior trim around windows, doors, corners, and soffit/fascia boards for a finished look.
  • Apply caulk and sealant around joints, vents, and edges to prevent moisture penetration.

Site Operations & Safety

  • Erect and work safely on ladders, staging, and pump-jack or pipe scaffolding systems.
  • Inspect completed work to ensure alignment, level lines, proper spacing for material expansion, and weatherproofing.
  • Maintain a clean and safe job site by clearing debris and properly storing tools and materials daily.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Experience: 1–3+ years of experience in exterior siding installation or general carpentry (apprentice-level roles may require less).
  • Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with various siding systems (e.g., lap siding, board and batten, shake, panel systems) and underlying moisture barriers.
  • Tool Proficiency: Skilled in using hand and power tools, including circular saws, shears, pneumatic nail guns, chalk lines, levels, and brake presses (aluminum bending).
  • Physical Capability: Ability to lift up to 50–80 lbs, climb ladders, stand for long periods, and work in varying weather conditions (heat, cold, rain).
  • Attention to Detail: Precision in measuring and cutting to ensure straight lines, flush joints, and minimal material waste.
  • Safety Mindset: Strict adherence to OSHA guidelines, fall protection protocols, and PPE usage.
