At SOS Site Services, our mission isn’t just about hauling away construction debris or setting up fencing—it’s about building something bigger. From day one, we’ve committed to creating real-world opportunities for students and young adults who are ready to work hard, learn fast, and take pride in a job well done.
Whether it’s a summer job, weekend shift, or seasonal work during the school year, we believe hands-on experience in the trades and service industries can make a lasting impact in a young person’s life—and we’re proud to be part of that journey.
👷♂️ Why We Hire Students
We know from personal experience how formative a first job can be. As a family-run company with deep roots in the construction industry, the founders of SOS Site Services—brothers who grew up on job sites—learned early on the value of hard work, discipline, and showing up with the right attitude. Now, through SOS, we’re passing that torch to the next generation.
Students bring energy, curiosity, and adaptability to the job. In return, we offer them:
Fair pay for meaningful work
Flexible scheduling around school commitments
Mentorship from experienced tradespeople
Exposure to construction, logistics, and client service
References and job skills that matter long-term
🛠️ Real Skills. Real Responsibility.
Working at SOS isn’t about running errands or doing grunt work—we give our student employees real responsibility. That might mean helping load and sort debris at a job site, assisting with fence setup, or ensuring site safety and cleanliness. Every shift offers the chance to:
Develop physical work habits and time management
Learn teamwork and communication on active job sites
Gain confidence in tool use, materials handling, and problem-solving
See what it takes to deliver reliable, client-focused service
We believe this experience can spark an interest in the trades, environmental management, entrepreneurship—or simply provide a strong work ethic that carries into any career path.
🌱 Investing in the Next Generation
We view our student hiring program not as a cost, but as an investment in the community. In an economy where many young people struggle to gain relevant experience, we aim to offer work that’s both accessible and empowering. If you’re a high school or college student who’s motivated, dependable, and ready to learn, we want to hear from you.
We’re also proud to collaborate with local schools, career centers, and training programs to help bridge the gap between the classroom and the job site.
