I have a great job opening for skiers in the Spokane area

I've got some jobs that are a perfect fit if you're a skier and would like to have most of the winter on layoff...

We're looking for three people for our commercial roofing company to round out our third crew. No experience is necessary, although helpful. We can use you for handling material and directed labor while you learn the trade from our mentorship and training. Experience on commercial construction would be helpful as you would at least have the requisite feel around construction sites, including some level of safety training but, again, we will train for the right people.

What we ask of you is to be employable in the U.S., pass a pre-employment drug screen (and yes, pot is a drug for the purposes of passing, even though we're in WA), and have a valid driver's license. We also ask that you be eager to work and to learn roofing, if you don't already have experience.

Our projects are generally right around Spokane so no major travel or overnights (usually). We put on various roofing products, usually on flat roofs so, membrane roofs such as TPO, EPDM, PVC, torch-down, metal, and a little bit of shingling. Must be able to climb ladders and not be afraid of heights.

If you are interested or know of anyone, PM me. We're a small, family-oriented company and pleasant group to work with. Plus, we're run by a skier (me) who understands the desire to not work too much in winter....so that's nice! Again, shooting me a PM if interested.

Good luck with drug test part. I get that insurance wants it but still. We're talking roofers. In Washington.

I know, right? Some of the work we do has federal funding attached to it and they require recent screening tests on all employees who are working on the job. Some companies run two crews; clean and not-so-much. Kind of a bummer for the ones who don't clear since they lose out on prevailing wage projects and lose the pay bump. We're not big enough to splinter out the crews so can't pull that off. We just started one recently and tried to give everyone time to 'study' for their test. Fortunately, all passed.

umm yeah ive roofed for the feds at hill afb and dugway
and with a security clearance for thiokol rockets
always get prevailing wage
aint never put my dick in no bottle to roof
never will
way to much work
in a utarded non weed friendly right to work red state
fume la motas todos amigo

Be specific... Are we talking someone who got in trouble for saying something not politically correct? Or are we talking someone who just got out of prison for rape? Or something in between.

But good on you for giving a fictitious creep a hypothetical 2nd chance.

Having worked in the construction biz in this state that^^^ is going to be an either/or proposition.

Yeah, well...it's pretty hard to find people who would work in this kind of position that don't have some kind of history, mostly DUI in their past or some other mostly petty crime. What we can't tolerate are guys who have bad histories like rape, pedophilia, things like that. We're working around the public on schools and other sensitive facilities when we re-roof existing buildings. I can put up with some things but there are limits.

I thought being stoned was an employment REQUIREMENT for roofers.

I spent two months one summer roofing in Houston Texas. Long enough to figure out that’s NOT what I wanted to do with my life. Hottest job I ever had, although building fences in Wyoming was a close second.

Maybe it’s not so bad in Washington, though.

Roofing in the rain. WINNING! Seriously though you'll be in pretty good physical shape assuming you don't get hurt.

Spokane is dry, and gets into the 80s in the summer.

For the right guy, this would be a pretty good gig.

Well, we do get into the nineties but, the crews start at like 6:00 in the summer and are done by 2:30 so miss the hottest part of the day.

C'mon, you slackers....there must be someone out there that's looking for work. Anyone? Beuhler?

I'm an excellent roofer. Clean record, and can pass a drug test. Mainly because LSD doesn't show up on those tests.

You just have to pass the test...beyond that, don't ask, don't tell. Just don't endanger yourself or others.... no tripping while on the clock.... (and yes, I know you're just being funny...)

If I was in Spokane and you had a crew doing three 12-14s I would be your guy.

4-10's works best for us this time of year. It gets too hot in the afternoon, oftentimes so 12's wind up being fairly non-productive in the later afternoon. 14's are just too late after starting at 6:00.

round here we piece work roofing
so nobody cares which hours were the most productive

and you work when you want as stoned as you please

but sober when someone else wants sounds almost as good:rolleyes2
whats journeyman wage up to in that neck of the woods?

We don't really do piece work. All our work is commercial with very little shingling, mostly TPO with some other membranes or metal. Journeyman rate is about $25.

Hey, I’m local and know a couple dudes looking for work. Could you pm me with some contact info And specifics I can get to em?

Sure. I'll get to it tomorrow ( Saturday)

Sorry man, I spaced this out over the weekend. I just sent you a PM with the information. Thanks!

Too much weed?

Am I missing something, Spokane probably isn’t the best place to work if you want quality skiing.

And you live in West Virginia? Am I missing something?? If where you hail from is correctly WV, you're really in no position to be critical of Spokane as a ski location.

Actually, Spokane is a great city for pretty decent skiing and, if you live in this area already, this isn't a bad job to fit into that lifestyle. It's worked well for me for nearly all my life. You may want to read this from Powder for their perspective.
