Four Tiers Contracting | Greater Seattle Area

Build Homes. Mentor People. Lead With Purpose.

Four Tiers Contracting is hiring a skilled and motivated Lead Handyman / Journeyman who's ready to grow into a key leadership role within our company. This isn't just another job in the trades-it's a long-term opportunity to help shape the future of a mission-driven company, lead crews on meaningful projects, and mentor young adults entering the trades for the first time.

We're looking for someone with strong hands-on skills who can take ownership of job sites, guide junior teammates, and contribute to the development of a growing organization. If you're ready to take the next step in your career-toward team leadership, project oversight, and eventually management-this role was built for you.

Four Tiers Contracting is a residential general contracting company based in Greater Seattle. Founded by two former foster youth, our mission goes beyond construction-we use the trades to teach self-reliance, confidence, and career-building skills to young adults aging out of foster care. We specialize in handyman services and remodels, and we've built a trusted, referral-based business rooted in craftsmanship, mentorship, and impact.
