What are the responsibilities and job description for the Installer position at Sunspace Deck and Shade Solutions?
Most people who buy a sunroom or porch enclosure never think about how it gets built. You're the one who builds it. And you get paid well for knowing how.
Sunspace by Deck and Shade Solutions installs Sunspace enclosures, sunrooms, and screen systems across northwest Ohio. We're not a general contractor. One product line, done well. John has built this business to the point where we have more work than the current crew can handle. The only thing holding back growth is having just one lead installer. That's why we're hiring. You come in as an Installer, learn the system, and if you perform, you become the second lead, running your own crew.
THE PATH
Installer: $25 - $35 an hour. You work alongside the lead, learn the Sunspace system, and build up to running a job without being walked through it.
WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
The crew works outdoors, year-round, in northwest Ohio. That means July heat with no shade and November cold on installs. The schedule doesn't stop at 35 degrees. Sunspace jobs run through winter. You'll carry aluminum framing and glass panels all day. You'll work off ladders. Precision matters on every cut; these aren't rough-construction tolerances. A panel that's off by a quarter inch gets fixed before it goes in, or it comes back as a callback. We take callbacks seriously.
The work happens in people's backyards, and the homeowner is sometimes home. You're on their property for a full day. You leave it cleaner than you found it. How you talk to them and whether you clean up are part of the job, not an afterthought. If that's a problem for you, this role isn't a fit. If that's already how you operate, keep reading.
WHO BELONGS HERE
We do what we say we're going to do. That means you show up when you said you would. You finish what you started. If something goes wrong, you say something instead of hoping nobody notices. Our reputation is built on customers who say we were the best contractor they worked with. Not the cheapest, not the fastest. The one that followed through. That standard lives with whoever is on the job site.
We have fun working hard. The work is real, and the standards are real, but this is a small team that enjoys showing up. If you're the kind of person who brings negative energy onto a job site, or counts down to the end of the day, that's going to stand out here. The team is too small for that.
