Advancement opportunities may be available for individuals with leadership skills or experience. For details about our Lead Dude position, see - https://www.pnwmd.com/lead-dude-job-description.

We’re a small, locally owned, high-end moving labor service based in Bellingham, WA. We’ve built our reputation on our dependability, the quality and efficiency of our work, and our friendly, professional customer service.

Our ideal mover is open-minded and eager to learn new skills while also being creative enough to apply those skills in unpredictable situations. A new hire should be prepared to act as a planner, mediator, and team collaborator. They should be ready to exercise emotional intelligence as well as muscle; our kindness and clear communication put our clients at ease, and that’s as important to us as finishing the move safely and on time.

In exchange for the excellent work our movers do, we’ve designed Mover Dudes to be an excellent place to work. We offer flexible schedules that accommodate our employees’ lifestyles, goals, and future plans, and we listen to their feedback when we consider how we can do better as a company. We promote from within so that the people in charge have been in the same position as the people they’re training, and so those that want more responsibility are rewarded for that ambition.

If that’s not enough to convince you to join us, the hourly pay is above industry standard–and our clients tend to tip well!

Just email us your resume with a cover letter telling us why you’ll make a great Mover Dude and you’ll be moving with the best team in town before you know it!
