Career Center > Concrete/Tilt-up Foreman - Looking for something meaningful?

Job Description

Join the Extollo team and gain a unique opportunity to equip Haitians in the construction industry through the development and construction of tilt up concrete houses and panelized security walls. Extollo International is a social-good business that operates a construction training center in Haiti and is in the process of introducing tilt-up technology to Haiti by first developing and building prototype concrete tilt-up houses. 

This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a very unique experience where they can use their skills and knowledge to help Haitians build a stronger Haiti. We’re looking for a person of high character who loves adventure, wants to experience and learn from a different culture, is experienced in concrete and/or tilt-up construction, and who enjoys working with their hands to teach and equip others so they can reach their potential. This person will work with Sherman Balch of Balch Enterprises, a 29-year member of the Tilt-Up Concrete Association and a recipient of The Peter Courtois Memorial Award

Extollo offers a compensation package that includes comfortable housing, all utilities including internet, 24-hour security, free lunch each weekday, use of an Extollo vehicle (shared), and a competitive salary. Those semi retired or fully retired may find this to be a great opportunity to share their experience with those who need it the most.

We are looking for professionals who can give anywhere from 2 to 4 (or more) weeks at a time, and ideally travel to our campus in Haiti a few times a year to keep continuity. Anyone new to Extollo will first live/work on campus for 2 weeks so that they can get an honest taste of what it's like without making a longer time commitment.

For those up for the challenge, this may be the most difficult, fulfilling, and rewarding work you will ever do. Join us in bringing the benefits of tilt-up construction to the nation of Haiti and helping give those living in extreme poverty a better future.
