Lead Stone Countertop Installer

Countertop World is hiring Lead Installers for luxury residential work out of our Bryant, Arkansas shop. You will run your own install truck and trailer with a helper and be the last set of hands on kitchens where the stone alone can run $50,000 or more.

This is not a production install job. Our best work is full height mitered waterfalls in bookmatched quartzite, backlit onyx and semi precious bars, large format porcelain, and full height slab backsplashes that land dead flush against custom cabinetry. We want someone who has done this work for years, takes it personally when a seam shows, and is comfortable being the face of the company in a homeowner’s house.

We laser template every job, so pieces arrive cut to the wall. Field scribing is not part of your day. When something does not fit, you stop, document it, and call the shop.

What you will do

• Lead your crew each day: review the job packet, walk the site, confirm cabinet level and wall condition, own the finished result
• Install mitered edges, waterfall legs, and full height slab backsplashes with tight, flush, color matched seams
• Set seams in natural stone, quartz, and large format porcelain with vacuum seam setters and the right adhesive for each material
• Install backlit stone: coordinate with the electrician, verify the LED panel and diffuser substrate, dry fit translucent slabs so light reads evenly, and seal so nothing shows through
• Move fragile, high value material (quartzite, marble, onyx, Dekton, Neolith) with the clamps, A frames, and rigging to do it without chips
• Install sinks, cooktops, and faucet holes to the templater’s layout and verify fit before the slab goes down
• Protect the home, control dust, follow our silica program, and leave the site cleaner than you found it
• Walk the homeowner or designer through the finished install, get sign off, and report punch items the same day
• Train your helper so they can grow into their own truck
• Keep the truck, trailer, and tools stocked and in working order

What you bring

• 5+ years installing stone countertops, with photos or references showing high end residential work
• Hands on experience with mitered edges, waterfall ends, and full height mitered panels
• Experience installing backlit or translucent stone, or a clear understanding of LED panels, diffusers, and substrates and a willingness to demonstrate it on a test piece
• Deep natural stone experience: quartzite, marble, granite, onyx
• Large format porcelain and sintered stone installs without chipped edges or cracked corners
• Full height slab backsplash installs against finished cabinetry
• Vacuum seam setter and color matched epoxy experience
• Ability to read drawings and digital layouts and catch a problem before the slab leaves the truck
• Able to lift 80 lbs repeatedly as part of a two-person team
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record; you drive a company truck with a trailer daily
• Professional, on time, and clear with homeowners and designers

Nice to have

• Slab shower wall and shower pan installs
• Fabrication background (polishing, edge work, CNC)
• Bilingual English and Spanish
• Experience leading a helper or small crew
• Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, Dekton, Neolith, or Lapitec training

Pay and schedule

$20 to $40 per hour depending on experience, with the top of the range for installers who can show us mitered and backlit work they have done themselves. $2,500 sign on bonus. Full time, W-2. Monday through Friday with an early start, occasional Saturdays on high end projects. Company truck, trailer, and tools provided. Paid holidays, paid time off, and health coverage.
