Experienced Carpenter. Proven Crew Leader. Take the Lead at Red Branch.

Are you an experienced residential carpenter who can lead a crew, keep a jobsite organized, and deliver quality work from start to finish?

Red Branch Outdoor Living is growing, and we're looking for a working Crew Lead Carpenter with strong carpentry skills and proven experience leading a construction team.

We build custom decks, covered patios, pergolas, pavilions, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and luxury outdoor living spaces throughout Baldwin and Mobile Counties.

This is a hands-on leadership position. You'll work alongside your crew while organizing daily tasks, solving problems in the field, and keeping projects moving safely and efficiently. Clients expect quality craftsmanship, professional crews, and well-managed jobsites—and you'll help deliver that experience.

What You'll Be Building

• Custom wood and composite decks

• Covered patios, pergolas, and pavilions

• Structural framing, roof structures, beams, posts, and joists

• Exterior trim and finish carpentry

• Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and specialty outdoor living projects

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Reading and interpreting plans, layouts, and project specifications

• Planning daily work and assigning tasks to crew members

• Working alongside your team and setting the standard for craftsmanship

• Coordinating tools, materials, and jobsite needs with the Project Manager

• Identifying field issues and communicating solutions

• Maintaining a safe, clean, and organized jobsite

• Monitoring progress and checking work for accuracy and quality

• Representing Red Branch professionally with clients and coworkers

What We're Looking For

• Prior professional experience in residential framing, deck building, or structural carpentry

• Previous experience leading a construction crew

• Ability to read plans and organize work from start to finish

• Strong knowledge of carpentry tools, materials, and construction methods

• Clear communication, dependable attendance, and sound judgment

• A valid driver's license with a clean driving record

• Pride in your work and a willingness to take ownership of your crew's results

Please note: This role requires both hands-on carpentry experience and previous crew leadership experience. General labor experience alone does not meet the minimum qualifications.

Why Join Red Branch?

We believe skilled craftsmen and strong leaders deserve steady work, clear expectations, and the opportunity to build projects they're proud of.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience and leadership ability

• Consistent, full-time, year-round work

• Monday–Friday work schedule

• 40 hours of annual PTO, accrued throughout the year

• 5–6 paid company holidays

• Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance options with partial company contribution after 30 days

• Dental, vision, and supplemental insurance options

• SIMPLE IRA with company match up to 3% after 12 months

• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement

• A team environment built around quality, accountability, and craftsmanship
