Lead Carpenter

About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter to take charge of day-to-day operations on our job sites. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can run a crew, manage the flow of a project, and be the go-to person that both the field team and office rely on to keep things moving on schedule and on budget. If you’re a carpenter who’s ready to step up and own a jobsite from start to finish, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for project managers, subcontractors, and clients
• Read and interpret blueprints, plans, and specifications to guide crew work
• Plan and sequence daily/weekly tasks to keep the project on schedule
• Monitor quality of work and ensure it meets company standards and code requirements
• Enforce jobsite safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized work environment
• Communicate progress, delays, and issues to the project manager in a timely manner
• Coordinate scheduling and logistics with subcontractors and trade partners
• Train and mentor less experienced carpenters on the crew
• Perform hands-on carpentry work alongside the crew as needed
• Maintain accurate daily logs, timecards, and job progress documentation

What We’re Looking For
• 5+ years of carpentry experience, including experience leading or supervising a crew
• Strong knowledge of framing, finish carpentry, and general construction methods
• Ability to read and work from blueprints and construction drawings
• Comfortable managing schedules, materials, and multiple moving parts on a jobsite
• Strong communication skills able to coordinate between field, office, and clients
• Reliable, punctual, and able to hold a crew accountable
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• OSHA 10 or 30 certification a plus
• Experience in custom residential or design-build construction a plus

Why Join Us
• Competitive pay based on experience
• Opportunity to take ownership of projects and grow into greater leadership responsibility
• Supportive company culture that values craftsmanship and accountability
