General Labor
Construction and general labor staffing.
East Tennessee builds year-round — apartments in Knoxville, hotels on the Parkway, cabins in the mountains, subdivisions in Maryville, and road projects across all three counties. When your crew is short and the schedule doesn’t flex, we dispatch construction labor same-day.
Construction staffing is where Labor Exchange started. When Kelly Peterson founded the company in 2012, the first calls were from general contractors on Knoxville job sites who needed laborers that morning. That urgency hasn’t changed — construction projects still run on fixed timelines with variable labor needs, and the gap between “how many workers I have” and “how many workers I need” shifts week to week. We’ve spent 12+ years building a pool of construction-experienced workers who understand job site safety, physical labor expectations, and the pace that GCs demand. From a two-person cleanup crew to a 20-person site prep team, we scale your labor force without the overhead of permanent hires.
