Location: Portland, OR

About Us:
Frog & Toad Hauling is a small, values-driven company focused on sustainable hauling, reuse, moving, and community projects. We work on projects ranging from estate cleanout to materials management and waste diversion to home repair, custom carpentry, and renovation projects, always with an eye toward sustainability and thoughtful, local reuse of materials.

Becoming licensed contractors has allowed us to take on larger projects and to better serve our clients. Now we are looking to expand our administrative capacity by fully departmentalizing.

Position Summary:
We’re seeking a Handywork Lead to take charge of our repair and custom project work, carrying on our existing client relationships as well as helping to shape the type and scope of projects we take on for the future. This role is best suited for a skilled carpenter or handyworker with experience in decks, fences, painting, light plumbing and electrical, and general repairs. This job is a good fit for someone who values craftsmanship, enjoys training others, and can work independently while collaborating across departments. With no set hours, this position is ideal for individuals who are also self-employed, have existing part-time work, or generally want the ability to schedule projects according to their own availability alongside our clients' timelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage handywork projects from start to finish
  

• Conduct site visits, communicate with potential clients, and write clear estimates
  

• Coordinate scheduling with our Hauling and Moving department leads
  

• Maintain accurate records of project costs, hours, and materials
  

• Provide project management and quality oversight for jobs
  

• Train crew members in your trade(s) and working style, for projects that require worker support.
  

• Transport materials and tools to job sites
  

• Communicate clearly and respectfully with clients and staff
  

• Help define the types of jobs we take on and support policy development with our RMI (license holder)
  

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in construction, remodeling, or related trades
  

• Strong skills in carpentry, painting, light plumbing, and repairs
  

• Experience building decks and fences
  

• Oregon driver’s license and reliable transportation
  

• Strong communication and organizational skills
  

• Comfort working independently and collaboratively
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with extensive remodels or custom design-build projects
  

• Ability to train others in your trade
  

• Familiarity with using reclaimed materials or designing for reuse
  

• Own set of tools (not required, but appreciated)
  

• Active CCB license and insurance (for 1099 applicants)
  

Position Type:
This can be a W2 position or 1099 contract role depending on your experience, needs, and licensing. Applicants seeking contractor status must have demonstrated experience running their own jobs and carry insurance and licensing equal to Frog & Toad’s standards.

How to Apply: Please send a resume detailing relevant experience along with the following:

• Schedule needs and availability

• Examples of past work

• At least two professional references (one from a supervisor or coworker, one from a client)

• If applying as an independent contractor: please include license number and proof of insurance coverage at time of application
