🌳 GOOD MORNING, MOSSWOOD IS HIRING 🌳
I am opening one personal apprenticeship position with The Mosswood Building Company.
This person will work directly beside me while I teach them the trades, problem solving, service work, remodeling, client care, estimating, and what it takes to help operate a growing construction company.
You do not need tools.
You do not need construction experience.
You do need a strong work ethic, a good attitude, reliable transportation, and a genuine desire to learn.
Mosswood is not a rough and tumble construction company.
We do not believe people learn through yelling, humiliation, or being treated like they are disposable. We treat our employees, clients, subcontractors, and each other the way we would want to be treated.
You will be challenged, but you will also be supported.
You will be corrected, but you will also be shown how to improve.
You will make mistakes, but you will be expected to learn from them.
This apprenticeship will move quickly. You will be running full steam ahead beside me while learning something new nearly every day. Some days will involve detailed finish work. Others may include demolition, service calls, material runs, troubleshooting, or changing direction when a project requires it.
I am looking for someone who is:
• Kind and respectful
• Dependable and punctual
• Adaptable when plans change
• Self motivated and willing to find the next task
• Comfortable asking questions
• Able to accept respectful correction
• Willing to carry a notebook and take real notes
• Capable of retaining and applying what they are taught
• Respectful inside our clients’ homes and businesses
• Interested in building a career, not simply collecting a paycheck
• Able to put the phone away and stay engaged during the workday
I do not expect you to know everything.
I expect you to listen, work hard, take pride in how you treat people, and become better every day.
HOW TO APPLY
Following directions is the first part of the interview. I will only review candidates who complete all five steps.
STEP ONE
Read this entire post before contacting me.
STEP TWO
Send the Mosswood page a private message Titled- Application- with your full name, phone number, city, and general availability.

1. Do you have reliable transportation?
2. Are you available for full workdays and occasional schedule changes?
3. Tell me about a time you taught yourself something difficult.
4. How do you respond when someone corrects your work?
5. What does treating coworkers and clients with respect mean to you?
STEP FIVE
Provide two references and finish your message with:
“Rooted in Craft, Grown from Legacy.”
Comments that only say “interested,” incomplete messages, and applications that skip the instructions will not be considered.
I am not searching for someone who already knows everything. I am searching for someone kind, dependable, teachable, motivated, and ready for an opportunity to learn directly beside me.
If that sounds like you, complete the five steps and introduce yourself.
