• 42+/hr depending on experience + project incentives Dayspring Construction is looking for an experienced residential construction professional to become a key part of how we plan, manage and execute our renovation projects.

This is not a standard carpenter position , and it is not a desk-based project manager position. We're looking for someone who understands residential remodeling well enough to walk into a house, see what needs to happen, help develop the plan, anticipate problems, organize the work, lead a small team, make smart construction decisions and still pick up the tools and build alongside everyone else. This role could be a particularly good fit for a former general contractor, small remodeling-company owner, working superintendent, or experienced lead carpenter/project manager who enjoys construction but no longer wants all of the baggage that comes with running a contracting business: constantly bidding work, finding customers, chasing payments, selling projects and handling every administrative detail. At Dayspring, the projects are primarily our own properties. That means the focus is on the project itself: solving problems, creating value, producing good work and getting the house finished. What the role looks like You'll work directly with ownership and take meaningful responsibility for assigned renovation projects. On a typical project, that may mean: Walking the property and helping determine what actually needs to be done Developing the sequence of work and weekly priorities Identifying materials, labor and subcontractors needed ahead of time Directing and working alongside a small internal construction team Teaching less-experienced employees while keeping production moving Coordinating specialty subcontractors when using a specialist is more efficient Identifying problems before they become expensive Making practical recommendations around cost, quality and schedule Helping determine when something should be repaired, replaced, redesigned or left alone Maintaining job-site quality, organization and safety Keeping ownership informed about progress, upcoming decisions and project risks You'll also remain hands-on . Depending on the project, that could include framing, doors and windows, finish carpentry, cabinetry, built-ins, flooring, repairs, installations, detailed problem-solving and punch-list work. We don't expect one person to perform every trade. Part of being good at this role is knowing when you should do something yourself and when a drywall, tile, electrical, plumbing or other specialty subcontractor is the better use of time and money. You will have a voice in the project We want this person involved earlier than the average carpenter or site employee. As the relationship develops, that can include: Walking potential acquisitions before we buy them Identifying construction risks Helping develop preliminary renovation scopes Providing input on renovation budgets and schedules Identifying value-engineering opportunities Reviewing material and subcontractor choices Understanding how construction decisions affect carrying costs and project returns Challenging an idea when you believe there is a better way to achieve the result We aren't looking for someone who simply waits for a task list. We're looking for someone who can say: "Here's what I think we should do, here's why, here's what it will probably take, and here's what I need to get it done." The person we're hoping to find You probably have substantial residential remodeling experience and have reached the point where you can look at an entire project rather than just your individual task.

You may have previously:

Operated your own remodeling or general contracting business Worked as a residential GC Been a lead carpenter, working superintendent or project manager Managed small crews and subcontractors Estimated or scoped residential renovation work Taken houses or major remodels from demolition through completion We're especially interested in people who combine construction judgment, craftsmanship and practical business sense . You should be comfortable making decisions, but equally comfortable asking before making a decision that materially affects structure, design, cost or project strategy. You should also be able to communicate clearly and professionally. This is a small team, and we rely heavily on straightforward communication, reliability and mutual respect. Experience we're looking for Strong candidates will generally have: Significant residential remodeling experience Experience independently planning and completing renovation work Strong working knowledge of residential construction sequencing Good framing and carpentry fundamentals Strong finish-work standards Experience with doors, windows, cabinets and interior detailing Ability to read plans and understand construction details Experience estimating labor/material requirements or managing project costs Experience directing employees, apprentices or subcontractors Reliable transportation and a professional set of everyday construction tools Willingness to complete OSHA 10 and EPA Lead-Safe RRP certification if not already completed An active contractor license is not required . Compensation $38

• 42+ per hour, depending on experience and the level of project responsibility you can take on.

This is a full-time W-2 position . For the right project lead, Dayspring also intends to provide meaningful project-based incentive compensation tied to successful project completion and performance. The goal is for someone in this role to have both stable base compensation and upside when the projects they help lead perform well . We can discuss the incentive structure in detail with finalists. About Dayspring Dayspring is a young and growing construction company focused primarily on acquiring and renovating our own residential properties in the Portland metro area. We are intentionally building an internal construction team rather than outsourcing the entire renovation process. We're still early. That means we cannot offer the history or predictability of a contractor that has been operating for 30 years. What we can offer is a much greater opportunity to influence how projects are built, how the construction operation develops, how the team grows and how future projects are evaluated and executed. For someone who wants a completely established system handed to them, this probably isn't the right position. For someone who likes the idea of helping build the system , it could be. To apply Along with your resume, please answer the following four questions. Applications without answers to these questions will not be advanced. 1. Tell us about one substantial residential remodel you personally led from planning through completion. What was the project, what work did you personally perform, and what did you subcontract? 2. Tell us about a construction decision you made that saved meaningful time or money without compromising the finished result. 3. If you were handed a whole-house renovation, how comfortable would you be developing the sequence of work, planning materials and labor, directing a small crew and keeping ownership informed about upcoming decisions? 4. What interests you about joining a company like Dayspring rather than operating your own contracting business or working independently? If available, include a link to photos or a portfolio of projects that represent your work. We're much more interested in finding the right person than filling the position quickly.
