What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, leads by example, and isn't afraid to jump in and help their crew.

The ideal candidate is someone who can confidently manage a moving job from start to finish, make decisions when needed, keep employees motivated and productive, and provide excellent customer service.

At Unique Movers, our Crew Leads don't just give directions - they work alongside their team and set the standard for how the job gets done.

As part of our onboarding process, Unique Movers conducts background checks for employment purposes. Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify an applicant from employment.

Background check results will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration factors such as the nature of the offense, its relevance to the position and job responsibilities, and other applicable circumstances.

Because our employees work in customers' homes and businesses, handle personal property, and may operate company vehicles, certain offenses may affect eligibility for specific positions.

All background checks and employment decisions will be handled in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.
