We are looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter / Residential Construction Field Manager who can become a key part of our company as we grow.

The right person will initially work closely with the owner to learn our standards, systems, and expectations.

We are looking for someone with a strong construction foundation who is willing to learn how we operate and grow into greater responsibility. Pay $22-$28 per hour, based on experience and ability. There is significant opportunity for increased responsibility and compensation for someone who demonstrates the ability to independently manage projects and field operations. Travel This is an on-the-road construction position with work performed at customer properties rather than at a permanent office. Projects are located throughout the Birmingham metro and surrounding areas, including Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Bibb, Tuscaloosa, and nearby counties. Who Will Do Well in This Position This position is ideal for an experienced carpenter who enjoys building but is ready for more responsibility and wants the opportunity to move into a leadership role. We want someone who can eventually arrive at a project, understand what needs to happen, organize the work, manage the people involved, solve normal construction problems, maintain our quality standards, and keep the project moving without needing the owner on the jobsite all day. We are a small and growing company, so this position has considerably more opportunity for advancement and responsibility than a typical carpenter position. If you take pride in your work, communicate well, can be trusted to do the right thing when nobody is watching, and want the opportunity to play an important role in growing a construction company, we would like to hear from you.
