EXPERIENCED CARPENTERS / DECK BUILDERS WANTED - FULL-TIME & PART-TIME

Grain & Co. | Custom Decks & Outdoor Living Grain & Co. is a growing outdoor-living construction company seeking experienced, dependable carpenters and deck builders for full-time and part-time opportunities.

THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY-LEVEL OR GENERAL LABOR POSITION.

Applicants must have a minimum of 2+ YEARS of consistent, verifiable carpentry/construction experience. We are looking for experienced tradesmen who understand construction, can think independently in the field, problem-solve, and take pride in producing quality work. Our projects include custom decks, docks, pergolas, covered outdoor structures, outdoor living spaces, stairs, railings, composite decking, and other custom carpentry and construction.

EXPERIENCE & SKILL REQUIREMENTS

Candidates must: Have a minimum of 2+ years of verifiable carpentry/construction experience Be proficient in general carpentry through multiple phases of construction, from structural framing through finish work Have experience with decks, docks, outdoor structures, and general framing Understand proper layout, measurements, elevations, leveling, squaring, cutting, fastening, blocking, connections, and construction sequencing Have experience working with pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, and other decking materials Understand picture framing, breaker boards, fascia, stairs, railings, and finish details Be able to read and understand construction plans, drawings, and basic specifications when provided Experience with exotic/hardwood decking materials and specialty carpentry is a plus

CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE & COMMON SENSE ARE REQUIRED

You must have strong practical construction knowledge and jobsite common sense. We need carpenters who can be given basic measurements, dimensions, a general layout, and an idea of what needs to be built and understand how to properly lay out, frame, and construct the project from scratch. While you must be capable of reading plans when plans are provided, YOU

CANNOT BE DEPENDENT ON DETAILED DRAWINGS OR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO PERFORM YOUR JOB.

You should understand construction well enough to look at a project, determine how it needs to come together, establish your layout, take accurate measurements, identify potential issues, problem-solve, and proceed with the work correctly and efficiently. We are looking for experienced carpenters who can

THINK, PROBLEM-SOLVE, MEASURE, LAY OUT, FRAME, AND BUILD

— not someone who needs to be taught each step of the process.

VEHICLE & TOOLS REQUIRED

You MUST have reliable transportation and your own basic carpentry tools. A reliable work truck, van, or dependable personal vehicle capable of getting you and your tools to the jobsite is required. Applicants are expected to own basic tools appropriate for an experienced carpenter, including: Circular saw Sawzall / reciprocating saw Impact driver / screw gun Drill Speed square and/or framing square Levels Tape measures Hammers Tool belt Standard hand tools Larger and specialty equipment may be provided depending on the project.
