We have openings that we are always working to fill, but we also work hard to figure out if we are a good fit for each other. When the fit is right, we have people that build a long-term career with us.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Demolishing buildings at work each day is as fun as it sounds.
From insurance to retirement plans and all points in between, we offer benefits that are competitive with any company in the industry.
We pay all of our employees the high wages they deserve. You’ll never feel underappreciated due to your paycheck.
We welcome feedback from everyone, regardless of your job title. We’re here to listen to and support our employees.
We base our culture around training our employees and empowering them to work safely. We also firmly believe in a “one company, one family” mentality. We strive to create an atmosphere where all of our employees love to go to work, and take pride in what they do.
A significant portion of our work happens during off-hours and during the night. We try our best to accommodate our employees’ schedules outside of MILBURN.
MILBURN Demolition is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. And, to better serve our customers in the Southeast, we now have offices in Tampa, Florida. We often do work throughout the midwest, Chicagoland area, and in Florida; however, team members who are willing to travel can help us tackle projects throughout the United States as well.
We’re always looking for experienced team members for our demolition crews. However, above all, we value fit. If you don’t have any experience, and you’re ready to work hard and do the right thing, you can start as an apprentice and work your way up!
In other words: demolition or construction experience is welcomed and respected but we’re also committed to training tomorrow’s demolition experts.
Yes. We offer hands-on, on-the-job training. In fact, our attention to detail and commitment to technology and safety are the keys to what makes MILBURN a different kind of demolition contractor.
Every team member participates in safety training regardless of their level of experience. We expect our foremen to mentor, train, and lead our teams with a safety-focused mindset. Many of our long-standing team members started on small projects and have worked their way up to leadership positions. There’s always room to grow at MILBURN.
We train — and retrain — all of our team members to make sure that we’re all on the same page and up-to-date on the latest safety protocols. Our foremen serve as mentors and teachers. We foster a culture of respect so that our laborers and operators can feel comfortable communicating ideas, and concerns, with our leaders.
“MILBURN has a more modern point-of-view … They’re not opposed to new ideas for safety, which is a big deal to me … If somebody doesn’t know how to do something, we should teach them.” — Eliasar Rosales, Corporate Safety Director.
Some of the ways we achieve this include:
What you do every day will depend on your role. We can guarantee that no two days will ever be the same. Our headquarters are located in Chicago and Tampa and we offer full-service, small- and large-scale demolition contracting services throughout the country. We handle projects of any size and we tackle interior demolition, specialty demolition, and structural demolition.
Yes. Both are involved in our hiring process, and we randomly drug test as well.
A positive, can-do attitude is a must! We also value a dedication to safety, common sense, a willingness to learn, demolition experience, physical ability, mechanical aptitude, communication skills, and attention to detail.
