General Construction Technician

Multi-Skilled Construction & Landscaping Technician

Kruger’s Trees, LLC is seeking a skilled, dependable, and hardworking Construction & Landscaping Technician for residential construction, remodeling, landscaping, tree work, repairs, and property improvement projects throughout Georgetown, Austin, and surrounding areas.

This position will begin with a part-time trial period, with the opportunity for increased pay, additional hours, and advancement based on demonstrated skill, reliability, work ethic, and company workload. We are looking to fill the position as soon as possible.

Who We’re Looking For

Our preference is strongly toward candidates who already have hands-on experience across multiple construction, remodeling, or landscaping trades and can arrive at a job site ready to contribute.

The ideal candidate is versatile, takes pride in quality work, owns their basic tools, and is capable of assessing tasks, solving problems, and completing work efficiently without needing constant supervision or step-by-step direction.

However, we will also consider candidates who may not yet be highly skilled in every trade but have solid hands-on experience, a strong mechanical aptitude, an exceptional work ethic, and the ability to learn new skills quickly. If you don’t know how to do something yet, we are looking for someone who pays attention, learns it, retains it, and becomes increasingly independent rather than needing to be shown the same task repeatedly.

Initiative is extremely important. We value employees who recognize what needs to be done, stay productive, ask questions when necessary, and actively look for ways to help move a project forward.

Work May Include

• Drywall installation, repair, finishing, and texture
• Flooring installation and repair
• Interior and exterior carpentry

• Tree trimming and related outdoor work
• Demolition, site preparation, and cleanup
• Measuring, planning, and determining required materials
• Troubleshooting unexpected job-site issues
• Loading, unloading, and moving tools and materials
• Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe job site

Because of the variety of work we perform, you should be comfortable with physically demanding labor and working outdoors in Texas weather.

Qualifications

• Previous hands-on construction, remodeling, landscaping, carpentry, maintenance, or similar trade experience strongly preferred
• Experience across multiple trades is highly preferred
• Must have your own basic construction tools
• Strong work ethic and willingness to perform physically demanding work
• Able to work independently once given appropriate instruction
• Quick learner who can efficiently develop new skills
• Takes initiative and stays productive without constant direction
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Dependable, punctual, and professional

Pay & Growth Opportunity

Position: Part-time trial period with opportunity for additional hours and long-term employment

Schedule: Based on current projects and workload

Pay: Starting rate based on experience and demonstrated skill level

The initial part-time period allows us to evaluate each employee’s actual abilities, reliability, work ethic, initiative, quality of work, and ability to work independently. Employees who demonstrate greater skill and responsibility may qualify for increased pay.

There is genuine opportunity for advancement within the company. Kruger’s Trees is working toward expanding its crews, and we are particularly interested in finding someone who can grow with the business. An employee who demonstrates strong technical ability, judgment, reliability, leadership, and the ability to manage projects independently may eventually have the opportunity to lead and run a crew.
