POSTED ON 7/16/2026

$21-$27/hr DOE - paid weekly, OT after 40, 40 hrs guaranteed in season, learn to run equipment.

Syd's Construction (CCB #231762, est. 2015) runs excavation and site-work crews across the Portland metro, plus landscaping, fence, and tree-clearing work. We're hiring hands who show up every day and want to move up: our guys go laborer to skilled hand to operator to foreman, and the pay ladder is written down.

What you'll do: excavation support (trenches, grade, pipe), fence builds, landscape work, tree and brush clearing, flagging (we get you carded), loading and hauling. Whatever the week needs - you learn a wide skill set fast.

Week one: boots voucher, PPE issued, buddy assigned by name, flagger card scheduled.

You need: a reliable way to the Lake Oswego yard by 6:30 AM, the ability to work hard outside in Oregon weather, and to pass a drug screen. Chainsaw, fence, or landscape experience gets you the top of the range. No resume required.

Benefits: retirement plan with match, 6 paid holidays PTO, paid family & medical leave (Paid Leave Oregon), Oregon sick time, $200/yr boot allowance, paid certs (flagger, OSHA 10), $1,500 referral bonus program. On public-works jobs you're paid the BOLI prevailing rate for your classification.

Apply: text 971-221-8177 or email syd@sydsconstructionco.com - we reply the same day. Paid tryout day: you get paid to show us what you've got.
