About the role

General Contractor Our client is a family-owned, locally based property restoration and reconstruction company serving the West Michigan area. They help homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, mold, and storm damage — offering 24/7 emergency response, remediation, and full reconstruction services from first call to final walkthrough. They take pride in treating every property like their own, and they're growing their reconstruction/rebuild division, which is where this role comes in. They're looking to bring on an in-house "General Contractor". This person will bridge the gap between overseeing multi-crew projects and handling smaller, hands-on work internally, helping us save on subcontracting costs and keep operations running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities: Project & Sub Management: Run multiple job sites simultaneously, manage internal and external crews, and leverage both company subs and personal trade connections as needed. Hands-On Carpentry & Repairs: Personally handle smaller interior scope — door installs, trim work, cabinet hanging, minor drywall patches — without needing to sub it out. Property Repair & Claims-Based Work: Oversee projects tied to property damage repair, including navigating the requirements and documentation involved in claims-backed jobs. Key Qualifications & Preferences

License: A General Contractor (GC) license is a strong plus, though not strictly required.

Experience: Proven track record in finish carpentry, handyman-level repairs, and managing multiple job sites at once. Business Development (Bonus): Candidates who bring existing client relationships, active contracts, or warm leads are highly desirable.

Compensation & Benefits: Structure: Full-time salary W2 or 1099

Equipment: Company vehicle and company tools provided, with flexibility to use personal preferred tool brands.

Benefits: Health/dental/vision coverage, PTO, paid holidays Growth: Direct path to shaping internal operations and crew structure as the company scales.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
