Job Announcement:: Passive House Carpentry Crew


ryanl

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to round out a crew of carpenters for a Passive House project this spring/summer in Yakima. A Passive House is a high performance, super energy efficient way of building. Passive House buildings consume 60%-80% less energy than buildings built to code, and are the most sure fire way of achieving net zero status. Learn more about them here: What is a Passive House?

 

This will be a full time position with an average of 40 hrs per week for 7-10 months beginning in late March/early April and continuing thru to the end of construction. Housing can be arranged if necessary, for a deduction in wage. All levels of experience will be considered, from laborer to apprentice to journeyman. If desired, the position could potentially lead to a permanent carpenter position in Seattle.

 

Duties to include assisting with:

-Fastfoot monopour with icf stem wall foundation

-Double stud wall construction

-Air sealing to less than .6 ACH at 50 Pa

-Rain screen siding

-Clay plaster finishes

-General carpentry related to single family residential construction.

 

Job Requirements:

- Ability to communicate well and to ask questions

-Desire and willingness to learn about building science and green building

-Reliability

-A strong work ethic

-Ability to thrive when the path forward is unclear

-Personal tools commensurate with experience

-A personal vehicle

 

Compensation

Pay will depend upon experience and will fall within the $12-$25 range. Paid vacation (3 hrs 40 hrs worked) along with full health and dental benefits after 3 months. Pay is weekly.

 

I'm posting here because (1) climbers generally make for good carpenters; (2) climbers (that I’ve known) tend to exhibit the character requirements listed above; and (3) I want partners for after work sessions in Tieton.

 

If you’re interested, know of someone who might be, or have questions, please email:
