About the role
Recruiter
Since 2005, TerraFirma has been the Pacific Northwest's trusted leader in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete repair. As a locally owned and operated company, we've helped protect thousands of homes through quality craftsmanship, honest service, and a commitment to doing the job right. We don't just repair homes—we protect the families who live in them. If you take pride in hard work, value integrity, and want to be part of a team that stands behind every project, we'd love to have you.
Do you love matching the right person with the right opportunity — and making every candidate feel like they matter?
