Log Masters employees coordinate or perform log home restoration and maintenance projects in multiple states. Requirements vary by position. Every employee must be dependable and safety-conscious. You must be willing to travel and able to communicate professionally. You must also be ready to work in active construction environments.
New employees start by listening, observing, and taking feedback. Then they apply that feedback on the job.
Media blasting from a lift above the 2nd story is expected when becoming proficient in log home preservation.
What We Expect From Every Employee
- Show up on time and ready to work.
- Stay self-motivated on the jobsite.
- Communicate clearly with your crew, your Project Manager, and homeowners.
- Take feedback and apply it.
- Do basic carpentry math, such as measuring and calculating materials.
- Attend required safety, product, and skills training.
Experience Requirements
Crew Members do not need prior experience. Construction, carpentry, painting, or restoration experience helps. Applicants without it can still qualify by showing they are reliable and able to learn.
Project Managers need construction knowledge that applies to the work. This includes an understanding of structural components and load-bearing walls. Log home experience is strongly preferred.
Physical Requirements
Field work is physical and takes place outdoors. Depending on the position, essential field duties may include:
- Lifting and carrying materials that weigh up to 80 pounds
- Working from ladders up to 20 feet high and from scaffolding or lifts up to 40 feet high
- Operating tools and equipment
- Working outdoors in changing temperatures and weather
Qualified employees must be able to perform the essential functions of their position with or without reasonable accommodation.
Tools and Equipment
Field employees may be trained and authorized to operate:
- Pressure washers
- Caulking equipment
- Media-blasting equipment
- Chainsaws
- Lifts and loaders
- Other job-related tools
Employees may operate equipment only after they complete the required training. They must also receive authorization for that specific task.
Respiratory Protection
Some field tasks require respiratory protection. Employees assigned to those tasks must take part in the company’s respiratory-protection program. The program includes a medical evaluation provided by Log Masters, fit testing, training, and instruction on proper respirator use.
Travel Required
Regular travel is an essential requirement for many field positions. Our projects are located across multiple states. Employees may stay away from their home base for about one to two weeks at a time.
Log Masters provides transportation and pays for lodging on approved travel, according to company policy. We also provide the tools, materials, and equipment for each job.
Background Screening and Drug Testing
Employment offers may depend on passing job-related background screening and drug testing. These checks apply when the position requires them and when applicable law allows them.
Training and Skill Development
New Crew Members receive orientation, safety instruction, and supervised on-the-job training for their position. Training covers Log Masters’ restoration procedures. Topics may include surface preparation, staining, caulking, chinking, equipment operation, jobsite safety, documentation, and quality expectations.
Employees with prior construction or restoration experience also learn our procedures and product specifications. Log home restoration companies do not all follow the same methods. Every new employee learns how Log Masters works. You can see the services our log home restoration crews perform on our website.
Advancement and pay increases are based on demonstrated skills, reliability, communication, safety, performance, and open company positions. Our field roles include:
- Entry-Level Crew Member
- Experienced Crew Member
- Crew Lead
- Project Manager
Log Masters’ employee training is company-specific. It is not a Registered Apprenticeship Program. It does not provide a government-issued or transferable trade credential.
