About Us
We are a residential design-build firm founded in 2007 by a carpenter. We focus on high-end remodeling and historic home renovations in Cambridge and the surround area. We keep a tight, organized team and run a localized, steady pipeline of work.
Key Responsibilities
- Master Craftsmanship: Execute precise residential remodeling work across all phases, including complex structural framing, historic layout corrections, window/door installations, and finish carpentry.
- On-Site Leadership: Supervise daily field operations, manage job-site safety/cleanliness, and direct in-house labor effectively.
- Subcontractor Coordination: Maintain the project schedule by acting as the main point of contact for mechanicals and specialized trades on-site.
- Plan Interpretation: Read, interpret, and execute architectural drawings and design schematics flawlessly, proactively catching field discrepancies.
- Client & Production Relations: Act as a professional, clean-cut representative of the company on-site, providing friendly, clear updates to clients and collaborating closely with our Project Manager.
Qualifications & Experience
- Experience: 7+ years of dedicated residential remodeling experience, with a proven track record in a Lead or Working Foreman role.
- Historic Home Expertise: Strong familiarity with the unique framing, settling, and architectural challenges of historic Greater Boston and New England homes.
- Tools & Transport: Must own a comprehensive set of hand and power tools appropriate for a Lead Carpenter, along with a reliable, clean truck or van capable of transporting materials.
- Licensing: A valid Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License (CSL) is highly preferred; a clean driver's license is required.
- Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, high emotional intelligence for client management, and an organized mindset. Team
- Leadership Style: Must be a good leader with a mellow, level-headed attitude. We want someone who can direct a crew, teach apprentices, and handle unexpected site problems calmly without losing their temper or stressing out the team.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly W-2 compensation ($35.00 - $50.00/hr based on capability and CSL).
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits package.
- Paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays.
- 401k
