Carpenter Labor Supervisor

Job Title: Framing Carpenter - Lead / Production Supervisor
Job Description
This role oversees the 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 framing 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, working in partnership with a Rough Lead and a Finish Lead, with 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.
• Monitor workmanship and enforce quality standards to minimize warranty issues and rework.
• Identify and eliminate inefficiencies in the building process, applying continuous improvement and lean manufacturing principles.
• Ensure that all phases of construction, from tape and texture through completion, stay on schedule and meet production targets.
• Coordinate workflow and resources across multiple work areas to support the goal of building homes from start to finish in a highly efficient timeframe.
• Collaborate with other members of the leadership team to refine processes as the operation scales from a small team to a larger, high-volume environment.
• Support a safe, organized, and productive work area within the hoop building environment.

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.
• Ability to read, interpret, and work from blueprints and construction plans.
• Demonstrated experience training and teaching others each step of the building process.
• Solid understanding of quality standards for high-end residential construction.
• Effective communication skills to clearly convey plans, expectations, and feedback to the team.
• Ability to balance oversight responsibilities with hands-on work when necessary.
• Strong focus on efficiency, continuous improvement, and meeting production schedules.
• Experience working within a production or manufacturing-style environment for homebuilding.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Background 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.
• Comfort working in a growing operation that is ramping up staff and output over time.
• Ability to maintain high quality while working toward aggressive build-time goals.
• Strong problem-solving skills to identify inefficiencies and implement practical solutions.

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.
