Job Description

Experienced Rough Carpenter (Bangor/Ellsworth & Surrounding Areas)We’re looking for an Experienced Rough Carpenter who knows their way around a job site, appreciates good craftsmanship, and doesn’t mind a little fresh air (okay… sometimes a lot). If you take pride in solid, reliable work and enjoy building things that last, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.Duties and Responsibilities
  • Install windows and interior/exterior doors with proper flashing, sealing, and weatherproofing — keeping homes protected and looking sharp.
  • Build and repair decks, railings, stairs, and other exterior structures with craftsmanship you’ll want to brag about later.
  • Tackle demolition safely and efficiently when projects call for a fresh start.
  • Jump into remodeling projects, including structural changes and retrofitting existing spaces.
  • Use hand and power tools confidently — bonus points if you can name them all without thinking.
  • Measure, cut, and assemble materials with precision, because even an eighth of an inch matters more than most people think.
  • Keep the job site clean, organized, and safe for everyone (no one likes hunting for the tape measure).
  • Follow safety standards and building codes — because doing it right is non‑negotiable.
  • Work closely with team members and other trades to keep projects running smoothly and on schedule.
Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in rough carpentry.
  • Solid understanding of framing techniques and modern construction methods.
  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and project plans without squinting too hard.
  • Proficiency with common carpentry tools and equipment.
  • Physical stamina — ability to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors in just about any weather Maine throws at you.
  • Reliable, self‑motivated, and able to work solo or as part of a team.
  • Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation (no hoping your buddy can give you a ride every day).
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with residential remodels and custom home builds.
  • OSHA certification training.
Tools Needed
  • Tool pouch or belt
  • Hammer
  • Flat bar
  • Speed square
  • Utility knife
