Drywall Finisher/Painter

Arrow Service team continues to grow into the Dickinson area and we're looking for a Drywall Finisher/Painter to join our Restoration Reconstruction Team!

Arrow Service Team is based out of Bismarck ND and is the leader in the disaster restoration industry in North Dakota. We have built our heritage one project at a time, establishing a reputation for performance, integrity, and responsibility among customers and carriers alike. Whether property damage is caused by water, fire, smoke, storms, or other disasters, we deliver on our promise to provide extraordinary care while serving people in their time of need! Our passion for quality and customer service drives everything we do.

If you take pride in your finished work and work well in a team environment, this is the job for you! We handle a wide variety of restoration jobs. What makes our industry unique is that our line of work primarily entails restoring an existing property to its pre-state/pre loss condition or better. If you are a seasoned veteran, you won't get bored with the many different projects we handle on a daily basis.

Arrow provides and assigns company vehicles (typically a box truck or van) for travel to/from jobsites. Most power tools, hand tools, and necessary equipment are provided. Basic individual hand tools (as an alternative personal preference) are employee provided.

Training is fully paid and on-the-job with our experienced team. We have a team of skilled teammates ready to share their diverse knowledge, skills, and tricks of the trade. Expected core training is 2 to 3 weeks but depends on overall progress. Training will take place more so in Bismarck in the early phases and will gravitate back to Dickinson. Hotel room will be paid by Arrow and a per diem will be provided while training in Bismarck.

In this role, you'll be learning something new every day. Training and skill development is always ongoing in this industry. Over the course of time, you will become well versed in this trade making you even more valuable.

We look forward to investing in your journey and in your future! Advancement opportunities exist within this department and within other departments in the company.
