Construction skills are in demand across the United States, and a Texas flooring contractor has just posted one of the larger seasonal job orders we have seen this month. Kenjura Tile, Inc. of Brenham, Texas, has an active H-2B job order on the US Department of Labor's SeasonalJobs.dol.gov portal for 45 Tile Setters at $22.11 per hour, with a season running from January to October 2027. Because H-2B employers must pay the worker's visa fees under federal rules, this is a genuine free visa sponsorship opportunity for eligible workers with some tile experience. Job details at a glance - Job title: Tile Setter (Tile and Stone Setters) - Employer: Kenjura Tile, Inc. - Address: 1004 N Park St, Brenham, Texas 77833 - Visa type: H-2B (temporary non-agricultural work) - Openings: 45 full-time workers - Pay: $22.11 per hour, with the possibility of a performance-based raise, Saturday work and overtime - Hours: 40 hours per week (schedule listed as 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) - Season: 8 January 2027 to 31 October 2027, about ten months - DOL case number: H-400-26285-294784 (posted 21 October 2026 and listed as ACTIVE when we checked on 23 October 2026) What the work involves According to the official listing, tile setters use tools and equipment to apply hard tile, marble and wood tile to walls, floors, ceilings and roof decks. The work also includes helping remove existing floors before new flooring goes in, and keeping the work area and equipment clean. The listing is honest about the physical side of the job: - Exposure to extreme temperatures - Repetitive movements, a lot of pushing, pulling and walking, and frequent stooping - Lifting and carrying up to 60 lbs frequently The employer says transportation to the jobsite is provided from a central location. Workers may be asked to take random drug and/or alcohol tests after hiring, at no cost to the worker. Requirements - 6 months of experience as a tile setter or in a closely related role - Minimum age of 18 - Physically fit for heavy, repetitive work - Willing to work the listed schedule, plus Saturdays and overtime when needed Visa costs: why this counts as free visa sponsorship Every H-2B employer must accept federal obligations before the Department of Labor certifies the job. Under 20 CFR 655.20(j)(2), the employer *"must pay or reimburse the worker in the first workweek for all visa, visa processing, border crossing, and other related fees (including those mandated by the government)"*. Passport costs are excluded. The same rules ban employers, their attorneys and their agents from taking any payment from workers for recruitment or petition costs (20 CFR 655.20(o)). Any recruiter used must be contractually barred from charging workers (655.20(p)). Inbound travel and daily subsistence are reimbursed once the worker completes 50% of the season, and return travel is covered if the worker finishes the contract or is dismissed early. How to apply 1. Read the official listing: Tile Setter – Kenjura Tile, Inc. on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov (https://seasonaljobs.dol.gov/jobs/H-400-26285-294784). 2. Click "View Job Order" to check the full terms, including housing (if any), deductions and the three-fourths hours guarantee. 3. Apply using the employer contacts on the DOL page: email kenjura@kenjuratile.com or call +1 979-836-5563. Quote the case number H-400-26285-294784. 4. Send a short English CV listing your tile, marble, stone or flooring experience with dates, plus photos of past work if you have them. Tips to improve your chances - Check H-2B eligibility. H-2B visas are normally issued only to nationals of countries on the US government's eligible-countries list. Confirm your country is included before you apply. - Show real experience. The job asks for six months, so list your projects, the materials you have used (ceramic, porcelain, marble, wood tile) and any references. - Think about the long season. About ten months in Texas means hot summers, so plan for heat and hydration. - Keep starting money. Visa fees are reimbursed in the first workweek and travel at the halfway point, so you may need to cover some costs at the start. - Apply soon. The order was posted on 21 October 2026, and large orders can still fill quickly. Scam warning No genuine US employer will ask you to pay for an H-2B job. Job orders are free to check on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov, and federal rules bar employers and recruiters from charging recruitment fees. If an "agent" asks for a deposit to "reserve" a Texas construction job, it is a scam. Disclaimer The Motivators is an independent information blog.
