Lead Carpenter / Remodeling Crew Lead East Oak Home Improvements Rhode Island / Southeastern Massachusetts Full-Time | $30-$42+ per hour based on experience and ability East Oak Home Improvements is looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter / Remodeling Crew Lead to join our growing residential construction company. This is not an entry-level carpenter position. We are looking for someone who can be trusted to take a scope of work, lead a jobsite, supervise a general laborer, and keep a project moving without the owner needing to be onsite throughout the day. The right person does not need to be a licensed electrician or plumber or know absolutely everything. However, they should be an experienced residential remodeler who is comfortable working across multiple trades, solving problems in the field, and knowing when something needs to be brought to the owner's attention. What You'll Be Doing You will work on residential remodeling and construction projects throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, including: Deck construction and repairs Framing and structural carpentry Kitchens and bathrooms Basement renovations Additions and larger remodeling projects Interior and exterior finish carpentry Doors, windows, trim and PVC Flooring Drywall installation and repair Painting and finishing Demolition General residential repairs Assisting and coordinating with electrical, plumbing and other subcontractors This position will also involve leading a small crew , typically including a general laborer. What We Need From You You should be able to: Read and follow a written scope of work Lay out and complete projects with limited supervision Lead and supervise a less-experienced employee Teach proper construction methods while keeping the crew productive Identify problems before they become expensive mistakes Communicate clearly with the owner about job progress, materials and issues Maintain professional, clean and organized jobsites Create material lists and identify what is needed for upcoming work Safely operate power tools and construction equipment Drive a company truck and, when qualified, tow company trailers Communicate professionally with homeowners Take responsibility for the quality of the crew's work Experience We're Looking For Ideally, you have 5+ years of residential construction/remodeling experience with strong experience in several trades. We're especially interested in someone with strong carpentry and framing fundamentals who also understands the other trades involved in completing an entire residential remodeling project. We care less about having the perfect résumé and more about what you can actually do. You should be the type of person who can be handed a scope of work, a company truck, a laborer and a jobsite in the morning—and make meaningful progress without needing someone standing over you. Requirements Valid driver's license and good driving record Reliable transportation to our shop/jobsite as required Ability to safely drive a company vehicle Own basic hand tools Strong knowledge of residential construction Ability to work independently and as part of a crew Ability to safely perform the physical requirements of residential construction Dependable attendance and communication Professional behavior around clients and their homes Compensation $30-$42+ per hour depending on demonstrated experience, leadership ability and independence. We don't expect someone to prove their value during a 20-minute interview. Your starting rate will be based on experience, followed by performance reviews as you demonstrate what you can handle in the field. Someone who develops into a true crew leader—capable of independently running projects, supervising employees, managing materials and delivering East Oak-quality work—will have the opportunity to move into the top end of the pay scale. What We're Looking For Long Term We're looking for more than someone who wants to swing a hammer for a few months. East Oak is growing, and we want someone who can eventually be trusted as one of the company's primary field leaders. If you're an experienced residential remodeler who takes pride in your work, can lead other people, and wants an opportunity to grow with a small construction company, we'd like to talk.
