Work is based in or around the greater St. Louis metro area plus other locations in Missouri and Illinois. Work locations can vary as projects are completed and new projects begin. Employee’s place of residence is taken into consideration; however, some projects may require a longer commute. The work schedule is Monday to Friday during the day. Work schedules can vary based on weather and project timelines. Flexibility in both schedule and commute is key.

Builder’s Bloc is a locally owned, St. Louis based, union company that was founded in 1946.  Many Builder’s Bloc employees have a 20+ year career with the company because of their dependability, benefits, and consistent growth.

What our employees have to say:

“Even during a downturn in the economy, the company always kept me working. Never had a lack of work.”

“I’ve never had to worry about pay. I’ve never had to worry about work.”

“You have to build up endurance. Move the lumber, wrap the Tyvek. The sooner you get that done, the sooner you can move on to the job you like. It is a very rewarding job because you can see what you have done.”

“Commercial work is more impersonal. I would rather build a house. It feels like it makes more of a difference for people. There are steady hours and plenty of work.”

“Employees here gain value by showing up and doing good work. Establish yourself and you have strong future.”
