Construction Carpenter - Commercial & Residential Projects

Job Description

Job Description

Why This Role Stands Out:
Designed for a carpenter with around 5 years of experience, this role delivers variety, not repetition. You’ll work across commercial and residential projects, build skills across multiple scopes, and have a clear path of potential progression to Lead Carpenter, Foreman, or Superintendent. Projects stay within an approximate hour of Buffalo, with steady work and a strong pipeline. You’ll join a Buffalo-based, hands on team that values quality craftsmanship, dependability and integrity. If you want variety, hands-on work culture, and potential for growth- this role is for you.

Overview:
Perform skilled carpentry work across commercial and residential construction projects ranging from $25K–$6M, supporting projects from rough framing through finish work.

Responsibilities:
• Perform skilled carpentry including wood and metal stud framing
• Complete finish carpentry and trim work
• Install doors, frames, and hardware
• Hang and finish drywall; basic painting as needed
• Install acoustical ceilings
• Support occasional concrete and masonry work
• Read and work from drawings and specifications
• Assist across multiple trades to support project completion

Key Qualifications:
• 5+ years of experience in the construction industry
• Strong carpentry skills across rough and finish work
• Ability to read and understand construction drawings (preferred)
• Willingness to perform a wide range of construction tasks
• Reliable, safety minded, and takes pride in workmanship
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required
• Ability to travel up to 1 hour from Buffalo for job sites

Pay, Benefits, and Perks:
• $20–$30 per hour, based on experience
• PTO, paid holidays, health insurance with minimal waiting period, 401(k), profit sharing, and life insurance
• Tool allowance for field crew (as qualified)
