General Laborer - Gutter Technician - Assistant

Upper West Exteriors | South Seattle, WA
Part-Time to Full-Time | $25/hour Production Bonus Eligibility After 90 Days

Upper West Exteriors is growing our new in-house gutter division, and we’re looking for a dependable, hardworking Gutter Technician Assistant to work alongside our Lead Gutter Technician.

This is a part-time to full-time opportunity based out of South Seattle, with the potential for hours and responsibility to grow as our gutter division expands.

This is a hands-on field position that requires comfort working from ladders, at heights, and with common construction hand tools and power tools.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn a skilled trade, work outdoors, and build a long-term career in exterior construction. You’ll assist with gutter fabrication and installation, jobsite setup, material handling, trailer organization, and other field-production needs.

The right person does not need extensive gutter experience. We’re looking for someone who is reliable, mechanically inclined, comfortable with physical work, and ready to learn.

• $25-$26.50/hour starting pay

• Part-time to full-time, with opportunity for increased hours as the division grows

• Eligible for production-based bonuses after 90 days

• Company-provided tools and equipment

• On-the-job training

• Opportunity to learn seamless gutter fabrication and installation

• Advancement opportunities within the gutter and field-production team

This position has a clear path for someone who performs well and wants to develop:
