Grand Rapids, United States Halyard Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

hal·yard

/ˈhalyərd/

noun

a rope used for raising and lowering a sail, spar, flag, or yard on a sailing ship.

Why the name Halyard, you ask?

The answer lies in the very essence of what we contribute to the Construction Industry. Just as a ship requires its Halyard to set sail, the construction world demands the integrity of Metal Framing, Drywall, and Acoustical Ceilings.

Without a Halyard, a ship is adrift. Similarly, without our services, a construction project lacks the core framework for success.

We're on a mission to collaborate with our clients and fellow tradespeople. Our focus is on thoughtful planning and executing the appropriate sequence, ensuring a successful experience for all involved.

With Halyard, it's more than just construction; it's about building a success story. Together, aligned with our Core Values, we will ensure that every team member has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Halyard’s Core Values

  • Batteries Included
  • Collaborators
  • Walk the Talk

These Core Values are critical in our mission to provide the Best Interior Finishes Experience in the Industry. If these values resonate with you and you think you are the right person – we have the right seat. Please continue
