$24 - $35 per hour

Express Employment Professionals

Job Full Description

Champaign-Urbana, IL | $24-$35.00 per hour | Full-time

If You're the Carpenter Everyone Else Looks To, Keep Reading

We are hiring a hands-on Lead Carpenter who can guide a small crew, solve problems in the field, and deliver work that looks right the first time.

This is not a clipboard-only leadership role. You might frame a wall, install cabinets, complete detailed trim work, and knock out a punch list all in the same week. You will work on residential remodeling, renovations, repairs, and light commercial projects throughout the Champaign-Urbana area.

This Team Is Built Around Three Things

Care about craftsmanship and the details that separate excellent work from "good enough."
Respect the client's home, business, time, and investment.
Communicate clearly, follow through, and finish what you start.

These are the standard for how every project is handled.

What You'll Own

Lead and mentor a small crew while remaining hands-on with daily carpentry work
Complete framing, trim, finish carpentry, cabinetry, drywall, flooring, and general repairs
Frame walls, roofs, and other structural components
Deliver clean, detailed finish work with strong attention to craftsmanship
Complete punch lists, warranty repairs, and smaller projects efficiently
Coordinate with other trades to keep projects moving on schedule
Communicate professionally with clients, coworkers, and project leadership
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site

What You Need

At least 3 years of professional carpentry or construction experience
Strong experience with framing, trim, finish carpentry, and remodeling
Previous experience leading a small crew or mentoring laborers
Proficiency with carpentry hand tools and power tools
Knowledge of construction-site safety practices
Ability to troubleshoot and work without constant direction
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Ability to regularly lift and carry up to 50 pounds

This is not an entry-level carpenter position.

You need to know your craft, make good decisions in the field, and take ownership when something needs to get done. The right person is reliable, professional, detail-oriented, and proud of the finished product.

Pay and Benefits

$24-$35.00 per hour based on experience and demonstrated skill
Full-time schedule
Health insurance
Dental insurance
Vision insurance
Varied residential and light commercial projects
Opportunity to grow with a company that recognizes skill, leadership, and follow-through

Ready to Build Something You're Proud Of?

If you can lead from the front, solve problems, and deliver craftsmanship that speaks for itself, we want to talk with you.

Apply today with a resume or detailed work history showing your carpentry, remodeling, framing, finish work, and crew leadership experience.
