Would You Take It?
This is hands-on, high-skill work with good pay, strong benefits, and the culture of a well-established, family-minded contractor. But it also comes with on-call rotation, physical demands, and tight standards. Still, if you’re a licensed pro ready for consistency and team respect—this could be it.
Rate looks fair for Morgantown, but ask if that number is for ground-up or retrofit; on a WVU lab retrofit I spent half my week coring through 10-inch slabs and chasing no-hub offsets, which kills the schedule if layout time is not built in. Clarify whether they supply the Hilti with core bits and copper brazing rods or expect you to cover consumables, and if overtime kicks after 8 daily or 40 weekly.
Rate’s fair for Morgantown, but is that straight W-2 base with OT after 40 and a company van, or are we using our own truck? Any med gas, call rotation, or per diem on WVU/hospital jobs, and is there a bump for running a crew?
I’d take it if it’s W-2 with OT after 40 and they cover campus parking plus paid travel between WVU sites; last Morgantown job I did, the unpaid campus hop and badging ate an hour a day. Ask if they supply the core rig/vac for slab coring and pay a med-gas premium — otherwise you’ll be married to a core drill for $25. @foster43 is right about the van being a deal maker.
On a WVU dorm job, the GC had us doing night tie-ins — ask if there’s a shift bump — and whether they supply ProPress and core rigs or expect you to bring them; those rentals disappear faster than a freshman meal plan. @lisa_rod71’s point on campus logistics is spot on — if they’ll sponsor the WV journeyman card, I’d be aiming for the top of that $25–$32 range.
