Read This Before You Apply

This is not a normal local 7-to-3 construction job. We'd rather tell you that now than have you find out on your first trip.

  • You travel. Crews leave from our Whitmore Lake shop. Trips run from 4 days to a month at a time, and you'll typically room with a teammate.
  • You work when the plant is down. Food plants can't stop production for us, so nights, weekends, and holiday shutdowns are normal.
  • The work is hard. Jackhammers, grinders, buckets, hot rooms, cold rooms, long shifts. You will be tired, dirty, and paid for it.
  • You earn your stripes. New guys start on the buckets and the grinder before they run a trowel. Every installer here did.
  • You need a license and a ride. A valid driver's license with a clean 3-year record, and a reliable way to get to the shop before and after trips.
If the travel is a maybe, it's a no. If none of that scared you off, keep reading.

How You Come Up Here

Nobody gets handed a trowel on day one. Here's the path.

Day one

Helper

Hand grinders, running buckets, the mix station, demo, loading and unloading the trailer. You learn the systems by moving the material.

When you've proven it

Installer

Screed and trowel urethane cement and epoxy. Cove base, drains, slope. Your finish is now part of the floor the customer walks on.

Own the pour

Lead Installer

Run the pour, own the finish, train the new guys on the buckets behind you.

Run the job

Foreman / Site Supervisor

The crew, the schedule, the material, the customer, and the shutdown are yours. This is the role we're hiring for right now too.

“I started here as a laborer and worked every position in the company. Mixing, grinding, troweling, running crews. That's still how it works: you come up through the floor.”Tyler Kwasny, VP Operations

Who You'd Be Working For

SaniCrete is family-owned and has been since 1990. Keith Kwasny started it as a painting contractor. A customer asked if he could do an epoxy garage floor, he said yes and figured it out. Then came warehouses, then food processing plants. Each time someone asked, Keith said yes and delivered.

Today we formulate our own flooring systems and install them with our own crews. No subcontractors, no finger-pointing. When a customer calls about their floor, they call us. That only works if the people on the crew are good, which is why we're picky about who we hire and why we train the ones we do.

Many of our installers have been here more than a decade. Everyone on the crew, including the VP, has mixed material, run a scarifier, and troweled a floor.

Questions We Get Asked

Short answers. Ask the rest on the phone.

Do I need flooring experience?

No. For the installer role we train from zero. Concrete, coatings, or any hands-on trade background helps, but we've built good installers out of farm kids, mechanics, and line workers. What we can't teach is showing up and working hard.

Do I need a CDL?

No. You'll drive trucks and trailers, so you need a valid license with a clean 3-year record, and being comfortable towing long distances is a real plus. A CDL is not required.

Where do I need to live?

Within reasonable driving distance of our Whitmore Lake, MI shop. Crews leave from here and come back here. If you're farther out, you need to be willing to base near the shop or be an exceptional fit.

How long are trips, really?

Anywhere from 4 days to a month. A lot of them are a week or two. We try to give you as much notice as the customer gives us, which in food plants isn't always much.

Who pays for the hotel and food?

We book and pay the hotel. You get $50/day per diem on travel days, paid weekly, on top of your wages. You'll typically share a room with a teammate.

What's the schedule like?

It follows the customer's shutdown, so nights, weekends, and holidays are normal. Busy stretches bring overtime, holidays worked pay double, and slower weeks bring shop time at home.

How fast do raises happen?

Everyone gets a 90-day review. Raises aren't automatic, but most guys who show up and work hard get at least $1 more at that review, and it keeps going as you move from helper to installer to lead.

What happens after I apply?

Tyler reads every application personally. If it looks like a fit, you'll get a call to talk through the travel, the work, and your experience. If you can't do the travel, please save us both the time and don't apply.

About You

The Job

Crews leave from Whitmore Lake and you'll typically room with a teammate. If it's a maybe, answer no.

Hands-On Experience

We care about what you've actually done with your hands, not job titles. "None yet" is a fine answer for the installer role.

Urethane cement, epoxy, concrete, coatings, grinding, floor prep, or anything else physical you've done for work. Write NONE if you're new.
