What You'll Do

As a Lead Carpenter, you'll work under the direction of our Project Manager and take the lead on day-to-day work at the jobsite.

• Helping keep projects moving efficiently and on schedule
• Light plumbing, electrical, and HVAC

Our remodeling projects vary, so no two jobs are exactly the same. This position is a good fit for someone who enjoys working in multiple areas of construction rather than doing the same task every day.

• Well-rounded residential and/or commercial construction experience
• Strong knowledge of hand and power tools
• Experience with framing, trim, windows and doors, siding, decks, and general remodeling work

Employment may be contingent upon successful completion of applicable pre-employment screening, including a background check.

Pay

$28–$35/hour, based on experience and skill level.
