Transparency in recruiting is key. When representing any of our construction partners, I like to lay everything out on the table when I connect with candidates about a position. ▶️ Culture of the company ▶️ Benefits they offer ▶️ Salary & bonuses ▶️ Plans for growth ▶️ Vision & mission ▶️ Revenue & sales ▶️ Projects they build ▶️ Amount of employees ▶️ Why the company is hiring  ▶️ Past, present & future of the company ▶️ Etc. I’m not here to sell anything to anyone. I’m here to provide candidates the information they need in order to help them make the right decision for them and their families. Being fully transparent and providing as much information is how I support them. There's no point in withholding any of it. #groundupconstructionrecruiting 

As part of Careers in Construction Month, we are excited to highlight the diverse pathways within the construction industry. Today, we’re featuring Saul Lopez and his journey, offering valuable insight and advice for those curious about pursuing a career in construction. Background and Career Path 1. What inspired you to choose a career in construction? The complexity of construction and the problem-solving it requires drew me in. Plus, the ability to control how much you earn based on your effort and dedication was a big factor. 2. How did you get started in the industry? I started at 19, working on a parking deck for Florida State University in Tallahassee. 3. What roles have you held in your construction career? I began as a laborer, then moved to carpenter helper, carpenter, carpenter foreman, general foreman, and now assistant superintendent. Recently, I transitioned to the office to develop skills in 3D modeling and estimating. 4. What do you enjoy most about working in construction? As I mentioned before, I love the problem-solving and the flexibility—it’s never the same day twice. It’s not a repetitive desk job; you never know what the day will bring. Growth and Skills 6. What key skills have helped you succeed in the construction industry? Being bilingual has been a huge help, along with being a self-starter and always wanting to learn more on every job. 7. How has the industry changed since you started? There's a lot more respect for the hard work that goes into construction nowadays, which I really appreciate. 8. Did you have a mentor? How did they impact your career? If not, would you have liked one? No, I didn’t have a mentor, but I wish I did. I’d like to find one in the future because you can never stop learning. Advice and Insights 9. What advice would you give to someone new to the construction industry? Build strong friendships with your crew and surround yourself with a good team to help you succeed! 10. What qualities do you think make a great construction worker? Punctuality, teamwork, and the ability to see the bigger picture. 11. Why would you recommend construction as a career path? It’s never boring. It’s fast-paced, with lots of different people, and I can’t imagine myself in any other field. Stay tuned as we continue to highlight different career paths throughout the month! #CareersInConstruction #RubyCollins

"11 laborers? Last minute? No problem." That’s the kind of call we got from a client recently. Their superintendent was staring down a punch list the size of a novel and their job site needed some serious clean-up. Most staffing firms might panic at a request like that. Not us. Within hours, our team had the crew ready to go - laborers for the heavy clean-up and tradesmen to knock out those punch list items like sheetrock repair, caulking, and touch-up painting. The result? The job got done quickly, efficiently, and to their standards. But the best part? The superintendent didn’t have to lift a finger worrying about it. We gave them the peace of mind to focus on what mattered most - managing the big picture and keeping the project on track. We don’t just send crews - we deliver solutions, lighten the load, and make sure our clients can breathe a little easier. Even when the requests come in last minute. If you're ready to take your skilled trades workforce to the next level, shoot me a DM today and let's chat. 📲 Nik #construction #superintendent #generalcontractor

Do you really want a Jack? (no offence to anyone named Jack, hear us out). We've seen job postings asking for detailed real estate, design and construction experience in a single job post. That's three jobs rolled into one if you ask us. Real estate - different industry, different skillset needed. Design and construction - those two go hand in hand, they need to work together. All three think differently, they view the project differently. Happy to hear your thoughts. We're open minded. However, looking for a Jack of All Trades, may not get you the specialization you need in a specific area. That's where we come in. We can help you figure that out. Whether it's someone to help your Jack, someone instead of Jack, or a few Jacks - we can help. Do you need a generalist or a specialist? Do you need a permanent role or someone to help move things along for a specific period of time? Let us help you figure that out. We'll review what you do and what you need, to move forward at a pace the company needs. Let's talk. www.propellerconsulting.ca

If you've been on LinkedIn in the past few years, you have seen numerous posts (and articles) about the construction labor shortage crisis. You may be wondering how to get started in the construction field. Here's some tips I can share on getting started in a fulfilling career in the building industry. 1) Make Connections. Like most professional realms, it can be beneficial to make connections and network with professionals in the construction industry. You've heard the old phrase, it's not always about what you know, but rather who you know. Make connections with professionals at all levels of experience and hierarchy and get your foot in the door. 2) Learn to market yourself. Knowing your worth as a professional is a skill that's not often taught in a classroom. It takes real thought to self-reflect on your own skillset and know how valuable you can be to a company. Be honest with your knowledge and experience while highlighting your strengths. 3) Do your research and find a passion. The construction industry has A LOT of different avenues of work. I'm afraid I might be understating just how many different paths there are to take in the construction world. From your typical trades like plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and welders to niche skills like underwater welding, rodbusters, concrete finishers, the list goes on and on. I personally am a big proponent for people to work in the field and get hands-on experience prior to going into management, but that's not always the case. Do some research on different career paths and find one that interests you. Your career path in the construction world will probably look different from anyone else's. There's a lot of opportunities out there, and some serious money to be made. Get out there and network, market yourself, and find a career that you enjoy doing. Get up and go build something.
