General Labor Lead

Travel. Lead. Build the Future.

Are you ready to lead remodel projects across the Midwest and Northeast? SPAR, a leader in retail construction and merchandising, is hiring General Labor Leads to join our dynamic overnight reset and remodel team. This is your opportunity to combine hands-on construction work with team leadership while traveling extensively and building a long-term career with competitive pay and full benefits.

About the Role

As a General Labor Lead, you'll supervise a 3–5 person team on high-impact remodels at big box home improvement stores.
