How we hire

Three things matter, no matter the role.

Waterproofing Northeast is family-owned and growing. We hire crew leads, helpers, estimators, and office staff. Whatever your spot is, three things matter:

  • Show up on time and tell the truth.
  • Do the work right. We back every job with a lifetime warranty, so we cannot afford shortcuts.
  • Treat the homeowner like a neighbor, because most of the time they are.

What it's actually like

Real work in real basements.

Most days the crew is in someone's basement, breaking concrete, trenching the perimeter, setting drain tile and gravel, pouring back the slab. It is physical, technical work in a confined space. Saws are loud. The job is dusty and the homeowner is upstairs. We tarp, filter, and clean every day because their house is also our jobsite.

Crews run year-round. Twin Cities winters are not a reason to stop work, they are a reason to plan it differently. We work indoors most of the time. Outside work (regrading, French drains, exterior excavation) shifts to the parts of the year that allow it.

We do not run subcontracted crews. The people on the truck are on WPNE's payroll. The crew lead the homeowner met at the quote is usually the same person running the install.

Who we hire from

We hire from a lot of places.

Trade school graduates. Veterans. People who learned a different trade and want to switch. People rebuilding after a setback. People who finished high school last month and want to learn something useful. The common thread is the three things up at the top of this page.

If you are a coach, instructor, workforce coordinator, recovery sponsor, or community advocate connecting someone to work, we want to hear from you too. Andrew picks up the phone.
