Journeyman Carpenter – Residential Interior Reconstruction

Department: Reconstruction

Location: Regional Field Role (Allentown, PA - Scranton, PA coverage areas)

Schedule: Full-Time | Monday – Friday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Total Estimated Compensation: $80,000 – $90,000 / year (Base Salary + Project Performance Commissions)

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled Journeyman Carpenter to join our Reconstruction Department. This position is ideal for an accomplished tradesperson with a strong background in Residential Interior Reconstruction who brings leadership experience—whether as a former job site foreman or an independent contractor looking to step away from administrative overhead and into a stable, high-paying, full-time environment.

You will drive high-quality interior reconstruction projects to completion across the Allentown and Scranton regions, balancing hands-on master carpentry work with site management and subcontractor coordination.

Key Responsibilities

Interior Framing & Structure: Execute structural repairs, wall reconfigurations, subfloor replacement, and structural framing modifications for damaged or updated residential interiors.

Finish Carpentry & Millwork: Install high-end trim, baseboards, crown molding, casing, interior doors, cabinetry, stairs, and custom built-ins with exceptional precision.

Multi-Trade Execution & Oversight: Manage residential interior builds from rough-in to completion, coordinating specialty sub-trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, painting) and stepping in across trades when necessary.

Site Leadership & Quality Control: Oversee daily job site progress, enforce strict safety standards, manage material deliveries, and maintain clean, professional client job sites.

Client Communication: Act as the primary technical point-of-contact on site, walking homeowners through daily progress, addressing concerns, and delivering top-tier customer service.

Schedule & Budget Alignment: Ensure projects move forward efficiently to meet target completion dates and commission benchmarks.

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in residential interior remodeling/reconstruction as a Journeyman-level carpenter.

Leadership Background: Prior experience as a Site Foreman, Lead Carpenter, or independent General Contractor/Trade Business Owner is required.

Comprehensive Trade Knowledge: Expert understanding of residential building codes, structural framing, drylining, cabinetry, door/window installations, and interior finishing.

Tools & Transport: Must possess a complete set of professional hand and power tools and a reliable work vehicle (truck or van capable of hauling tools/materials).

Licensing & Documentation: Valid PA Driver’s License with a clean driving record.

Physical Demands: Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly, work in varying job site conditions, operate heavy power tools, and work on ladders.

Compensation & Benefits

Total Target Compensation: $80,000 – $90,000 annually, structured as a stable base salary coupled with regular project-based revenue commissions.

Work-Life Balance: Consistent, reliable schedule (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM; no mandatory weekend shifts).

Steady Work Pipeline: Consistent year-round project queue across the Allentown-Scranton corridor—no need to spend time bidding jobs or chasing client invoices.

Growth Potential: Opportunities to advance into Project Management or Operations leadership roles within the company.

• Full Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, Paid Holidays, Life Insurance, 401k w/ matching options
