Concrete Finisher/Laborer

CONCRETE PROS NEEDED!

Trip Hazard is not like any concrete company you have ever worked for! We specialize in making America safe, one step at a time and having FUN while we do it!

Trip Hazard was founded in 2018 by an Arborist named Phil Rogacki. While working in the tree industry Phil continually ran into a problem that had no solution. The trees were damaging the sidewalks and making it unsafe for the public to walk on. He immediately searched for a company who could handle this issue and was unable to find one. So in true entrepreneurial spirit - he decided to create one!

In little over a year, Trip Hazard has opened 5 new territories in California and have plans for ten more in 2022. We have plans to expand to Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Texas! With a fast growing company like ours, we are looking for trained/skilled professionals who are ready to be apart of building America's Best Concrete Company.

If you live in the North or South bay area, are dedicated to your trade, ready to shake up the industry and are qualified for a position such as: Foreman, Mason or Finisher- apply now!
