Join the Extollo team and gain a unique hands-on opportunity to equip Haitians in the construction industry through the development and construction of tilt-up concrete houses and panelized security walls. Extollo is a social-good business that operates a construction training center in Haiti and is in the process of introducing tilt-up technology to Haiti by first developing and building prototype concrete tilt-up houses and security walls. 

 

This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a very unique experience where they can use their skills and knowledge to help Haitians build a stronger Haiti. We’re looking for a person of high character who loves adventure, wants to experience and learn from a different culture, is experienced in concrete and/or tilt-up construction - especially place and finish concrete - and who enjoys working with their hands to teach and equip others so they can reach their potential. This person will work with Sherman Balch of Balch Enterprises, a 29-year member of the Tilt-Up Concrete Association, past President of the TCA, and a recipient of The Peter Courtois Memorial Award.

​

We are looking for professionals who can relocate to our safe and comfortable 5 acre campus in Haiti, or give anywhere from 2 to 4 (or more) weeks at a time and ideally travel to our campus in Haiti a few times a year to keep continuity. Anyone new to Extollo will first live/work on campus for 2 weeks so that they can get an honest taste of what it's like without making a longer time commitment.

​

For those up for the challenge, this may be the most difficult, fulfilling, and rewarding work you will ever do. Join us in bringing the benefits of tilt-up construction to the nation of Haiti and helping give those living in extreme poverty a better future. 

​

Extollo offers a compensation package that includes comfortable housing, all utilities including internet, 24-hour security, free lunch each weekday, use of an Extollo vehicle (shared), and a competitive salary. Those semi retired or fully retired may find this to be a great opportunity to share their experience with those who need it the most.
