🔥 Who Tradesmen International Hires
Tradesmen International is a construction labor staffing company. It places skilled craftworkers on job sites for contractors, and its Oregon operation runs a Portland-area office on SW Nimbus Avenue in Beaverton, plus offices in Salem and Eugene. Across its network the company staffs electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, welders, carpenters and other trades, on commercial, industrial, residential, energy and manufacturing work.
The WorkSource Oregon events calendar lists the event as in person but does not say which trades or how many positions the Portland office is trying to fill this round, and it does not publish pay. We won't guess at either. Walk in with your trade, your level and your availability, and let the recruiter tell you what's open. One small thing: the WorkSource listing spells the company "Tradesman," while the firm itself uses "Tradesmen."
✅ What It Takes to Get Hired
This is not an entry-level, no-experience event. According to the company's own craftworker FAQ, Tradesmen looks for proven ability at the apprentice, journey or lead level, and candidates go through written trade testing and a safety assessment. The company also says plainly that it expects its workforce to be drug-free, so plan on a screening.
The same FAQ says the firm aims to keep its people working year-round rather than hiring for a single job, and it advertises medical, dental, vision and life insurance, a 401(k) with a company match, safety and skills training with tuition reimbursement, and overtime when projects call for it. Pay is set by trade and qualifications; the company says it aims for industry standard or better but does not publish rates.
📋 How to Show Up Ready
- A valid driver's license
- About five years of work history with references who will actually pick up the phone, which the company asks candidates to bring to an interview
- Any licenses or cards you hold: Oregon electrical or plumbing license, apprenticeship records, OSHA 10 or 30, forklift or lift certifications, welding certs
- A short list of recent projects and the tools you're comfortable running
- Work boots and a realistic answer about how far you'll drive: job sites can land anywhere from Hillsboro to Clackamas
