Job Description

Experienced Entry Level Carpenter Wanted: Build it Right, Build it Strong (And Have Some Fun Along the Way)
Are you a jack-of-all-trades with a passion for construction? Do you have the skill to frame a house, install windows, and even handle a little paint and drywall along the way? We’re looking for a rough carpenter who’s ready to tackle anything that comes their way (with a smile and a well-worn toolbelt, of course).
What You'll Be Doing:
  • Framing: You’ll be the backbone of our projects, turning blueprints into sturdy walls and structures.
  • Roofing & Siding: From top to bottom, you’ll help us weather any storm—literally.
  • Window & Door Installation: Bring some light into our clients' lives by making those openings perfect.
  • Drywall/Sheetrock: Taping, mudding, and smoothing—your walls will always look sharp.
  • Painting: Adding the final touch to make everything look polished and put together.
  • Demolition: Yes, we like to tear things down before we build them back up (it’s therapeutic, trust us).
  • Site Clean-Up & Organization: A clean site is a safe site—and we appreciate a tidy workspace.
  • Material Handling: Carrying, loading, and unloading materials (it’s a workout, but we know you’re up for it).
  • Other Duties: Like any good carpenter, you’ll take on whatever comes your way, changing tasks day by day.
Requirements:
  • A solid knowledge of construction and carpentry (you know your way around a saw, hammer, and drill).
  • Must be able to read a tape measure—accuracy is key.
  • Physical fitness is a must: You’ll be bending, twisting, lifting up to 70 lbs., pushing, pulling, reaching, climbing, working from ladders, and walking/standing for long periods.
  • Willingness to work outside in all weather—rain or shine, we get the job done!
Tools You’ll Need:
  • Hammer, tape measure, pencil, speed square, pry bar, and a tool pouch/belt (because what’s a carpenter without their trusty tools?).
Why You’ll Love This Job:
  • Competitive pay and a great team environment.
  • A chance to flex all your carpentry muscles and grow your skills.
  • The satisfaction of building something solid and enduring.
  • Every day is a little different, so you’ll never be bored.
Ready to join the team? Bring your expertise, your hard work, and your tools, and build something incredible together!
