What It's Like to Work Here

## The Job, Described Honestly

No mission statements. Here's how the work actually runs on our St. Louis jobsites.

Crews rotate between ground-up construction, [tenant finish plumbing](https://legacyplumbingmo.com/commercial/tenant-finish) inside occupied buildings, and service work such as [grease trap cleaning and pumping](https://legacyplumbingmo.com/facility-services/grease-trap-cleaning) for restaurants and food-service kitchens.

### Pre-job planning, in writing

Before a crew mobilizes, the job gets a written plan — scope, sequence, material staging, and who owns what. You show up knowing the day's work instead of guessing at the gang box.

### Trained foremen, real supervision

Foremen here go through leadership and layout training before they run a crew. Nobody gets handed six guys and a prayer. If you're stuck, there's someone on site who can actually answer.

### Tools and material that show up

Specialty tools, press gear, jetters, locators, and cameras are company-provided and maintained. Material gets ordered off the plan, not off a panic phone call at 9am.

### A path you can see

Apprentice to journeyman to foreman to superintendent or estimator. Each step has a written expectation list, so you know what you're being measured on before the conversation happens.

### Modern estimating and scheduling

Jobs are bid and scheduled with current software and field-verified layout — including total station layout on larger projects — so field work gets set up to succeed instead of chased.

### Small enough to know your name

You'll talk to the people who run the company, not a call center. Feedback from the field actually changes how the next job gets built.
