Tarheel Brushworks is hiring across Wilmington and the coastal NC region. If you're an experienced operator, a hard-working laborer ready to learn, or a veteran looking for a stable trade — we'd like to talk.
We pay above market for skilled operators because skilled operators are worth it. We invest in good equipment because bad equipment kills productivity and morale. And we treat our crew like adults — clear scopes, clear schedules, no surprise weekends.
If you've worked at a place where the owner micromanages you, where pay raises depend on guessing right, or where the trucks break down constantly — that's not how we run things.
We're a veteran-owned company. We hire civilians too — but if you've served, you'll find a culture that already speaks your language.
Competitive hourly rates plus performance bonuses for project completion. Paid weekly. We benchmark to top-quartile contractor pay in the Boston metro.
Tracked CAT mulchers, well-maintained trucks, and the right tools for the job. We don't hand you broken kit and ask you to make it work.
Most jobs are Monday–Friday day shifts. We don't work Sundays. We don't surprise-schedule weekends. When we ask for overtime, it's voluntary and paid premium.
Health insurance contribution, paid holidays, paid time off, and a 401(k) match for full-time employees after 90 days.
Operator training, equipment certifications, and a clear path from laborer to operator to crew lead. We promote from within first.
VA benefits coordination and a culture built around mission-focused work. We hire civilians equally — but we know what you bring.
Don't see a perfect fit? Send us a resume anyway — we hire when we meet the right person, not just when we post a role.
Run our tracked CAT mulcher on residential and commercial projects across coastal North Carolina. You'll be the primary operator on most jobs, working alongside a laborer and crew lead.
Entry point into the company with a clear path to operator. You'll handle ground work, site prep, debris management, and assist the operator. We'll train you on the equipment.
Lead a 2–3 person crew on multi-day projects. You'll handle on-site project management, customer communication during the job, scope adherence, and quality control. Senior operator skills required.
We're always interested in talking to good operators, mechanics, and tradespeople — even when we don't have an active opening. If you bring real skills and a strong work ethic, get in touch and we'll keep you in mind as we grow.
