• Lay out work and communicate daily priorities to the crew
• Coordinate with subcontractors and other trades so work happens in the proper sequence
• Monitor workmanship and make sure completed work meets K&D's quality standards
• Identify job-site problems early and work with the Project Manager or Superintendent to resolve them
• Coordinate materials, deliveries, tools, and equipment needed to keep work moving
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site
• Enforce company safety procedures and address potential hazards
• Communicate job progress, delays, material needs, and field issues to project leadership
• Help train and develop less-experienced members of the crew
• Represent Kreider & Diller professionally with customers, subcontractors, inspectors, and other project partners

What We're Looking For

You should have:

• Strong hands-on carpentry and general construction experience
• Previous experience leading or directing a construction crew
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints
• The ability to plan work and clearly direct others
• Reliable attendance and a track record of showing up on time, every day

• The ability to recognize quality work and correct problems when something isn't right
• Good judgment and practical problem-solving skills
• Clear communication skills
• A valid driver's license
• The physical ability to perform construction work in varying weather conditions, lift and move materials, and work at heights

No specific degree or certification is required.
