Hours: Monday-Friday, 8 am- 5 pm

This role oversees the finishing, framing and production of high-end homes from a leadership perspective, ensuring plans are accurate, quality standards are met, and the team works efficiently from start to finish. The position combines hands-on expertise with supervisory responsibilities, including training, coaching, and coordinating multiple work areas to deliver well-built homes on schedule.

Responsibilities:

• Review construction plans and blueprints each morning to verify accuracy and clarify any discrepancies before work begins.
• Communicate and translate plans into clear, actionable instructions for the production team.
• Lead and manage approximately five work spaces, each leader responsible for their side of the line.
• Oversee the entire production line for high-end homes, maintaining strict quality standards at every stage of construction.
• Provide day-to-day supervision of leads and their teams, focusing on oversight rather than heavy physical labor while remaining ready to jump in hands-on when needed.
• Train and mentor team members on proper framing, carpentry, and finishing techniques, ensuring work is performed correctly and consistently.

Essential Skills:

• Proven experience as a framing carpenter with the ability to build homes from start to finish.
• Strong supervisory and leadership skills with experience overseeing multiple work areas or teams.

• Demonstrated experience training and teaching others each step of the building process.
• Solid understanding of quality standards for high-end residential construction.

Additional Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience in production, supervision, and lean manufacturing practices.
• Experience applying continuous improvement methods to streamline construction processes.
• Proven ability to manage and coach a team of leads and craftspeople in a fast-paced setting.

Why Work Here?

You join a collaborative leadership team that values quality craftsmanship, efficiency, and continuous improvement. The organization rewards strong performance with profit-sharing opportunities, including bonus potential tied to warranty performance and the quality of completed homes. As the operation scales from a small team to a high-volume environment, you have the opportunity to shape processes, influence standards, and grow with the business while being recognized for your impact on both quality and productivity.

Work Environment:

The role is based in a hoop building where homes are constructed under shelter from wind and rain, though the space is not fully temperature controlled. Work hours typically run from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with some fluctuation depending on the season. You will start by working with a small team building a few spec homes, focusing on identifying and resolving inefficiencies before the operation ramps up to higher volume. The environment is production-oriented, with multiple work spaces operating simultaneously and a clear focus on quality, schedule adherence, and continuous improvement throughout the homebuilding process.
