Hypothetical example for Heartland Floors, a six-person flooring company.
Heartland Floors is hiring a Flooring Installer for residential tile and hardwood (Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. start). You'll prep subfloors, cut and set material and leave each job clean. Bring your hand tools; we provide the truck and saws.
Notice what makes it work: real hours, the actual tools, who they report to, and one honest reason to want the job. That’s the difference between a blank template and a job description that gets the right applicants.

Common questions
Should I require certification for installers?
It is optional, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A paid trial day with a real installation tells you more than a certificate, but certification can help with customers who ask.
Can I use this template for free?
Yes. Copy it, edit it and post it. It's a starting point written for any business, so fill in the brackets and adjust the duties to your actual job. If you'd rather have it written for your business, ready to post, our Job Description service is $30.
Is this legal advice?
No. This page is general information. Requirements for some roles, especially in healthcare, vary by state. Check your state's rules, and talk to an employment attorney if you're unsure.
