Dowbuilt is a construction company that was founded by top Pacific Northwest builders Jim Dow and George Schuchart in 2004, and now our talented teams can be found from coast to coast. We focus on one-off projects like cutting-edge, innovative new construction, challenging remodels and additions as well as home service – all of which require precision and impeccable attention to detail. The culture at Dowbuilt is one of care. Care for our people, care for our clients, care for the craftsmen we partner with - all resulting in care for the incredible designs we bring to life. While our employees’ skill level and experience vary from entry level to mastery, all share an inspiring work ethic and passion for the build.

The laborer position is an entry-level role that does not require previous construction experience, however a candidate must commit to being punctual, reliable and willing to perform the less glamorous tasks required. Laborers are an essential part of the build site because they are able to assist everyone from the superintendent to the subcontractors. This position offers an opportunity to learn construction skills in a hands-on environment with a company that promotes and values continual learning.
