We are currently seeking hard-working and reliable general construction workers for immediate hire.

We are a local small general contracting construction company. We work with a variety of different clients with differing project needs.

The type of construction work necessary will vary per project, however our primary focus is on commercial playground installations and residential/commercial concrete work. On-site job training will be provided.

Most jobs will be in or around the Kansas City Metro area, but some travel with overnight stays will be required (per diem paid) for occasional out of town projects.

Starting pay is $18/hour. Prevailing wage jobs are common, but not guaranteed. Wage rates for prevailing wage jobs will vary by project and location.

Prior construction/concrete experience strongly preferred but not required. Prior OSHA Certification also preferred but not required.

- Must be willing and able to:

• Follow instructions and be comfortable asking for clarification if you have questions regarding instructions that you have received.

Turkey Hunt 2023 in Lansing!

Hey there, fellow turkey hunters! So far, we've unleashed six gobblers into the wilds of the City of Lansing's Parks and Trails - and three have already been captured! That means three feathered fugitives are still out there, hiding in some tricky spots.

If you manage to track one down, hotfoot it over to our office to claim your prize (bring the turkey with you). Let's keep this sweet and fair, just one prize per hunter, please. Let's spread the joy and bring your loved ones along for the hunt!

It's the perfect excuse to take in the stunning scenery and explore the great outdoors with family and friends. Don't miss out on this clucking good time!

Just a heads up, these birds are total sticklers for the rules and won't dare step over private property, wander off into the wilderness, or pop indoors.

Don't hold back! Snap a photo and share your epic victory with us for some well-deserved bragging rights!

Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. And if you have questions, give us a holler at (913) 727-2960 or [email protected].

Happy hunting!
