Job Description
Lead Carpenter / Working Construction Supervisor Position Summary We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled construction professional who can both perform hands-on construction work and oversee larger residential projects when needed. This is not a desk job or a purely management position. The ideal candidate is someone who can arrive at a customer's home, identify what needs to be done, complete high-quality work independently, and coordinate subcontractors on larger renovations and rebuilds. This position requires a self-starter who takes ownership of projects, maintains professional communication with customers, and consistently delivers exceptional workmanship. Responsibilities Perform skilled residential construction work including framing, trim carpentry, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, siding, doors, windows, punch-out work, and general remodeling. Complete service calls, repairs, renovations, and rebuild projects with little to no supervision. Troubleshoot construction issues and determine the best course of action in the field. Interact professionally with homeowners and represent the company at all times. Maintain clean, organized, and safe job sites. Manage project progress and ensure work is completed to company standards. Coordinate and oversee subcontractors on larger projects. Schedule and manage trade partners including electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, painters, roofers, and other specialty trades. Verify subcontractor work meets quality standards and project specifications. Assist with material planning, ordering, and jobsite logistics. Communicate project updates, challenges, and solutions to management. Qualifications 7+ years of hands-on residential construction experience. Strong working knowledge of all phases of residential construction. Ability to work independently and solve problems without constant supervision. Experience leading projects and managing subcontractors. Skilled in finish carpentry, remodeling, repairs, and general construction. Ability to read plans, blueprints, and scopes of work. Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship. Excellent communication and customer service skills. Valid driver's license and reliable transportation. Ability to lift, carry, climb ladders, and perform physical construction work daily. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is the person everyone calls when a project gets difficult. You can walk onto a jobsite, assess the situation, develop a plan, and get the work done. You are equally comfortable installing trim, framing a wall, rebuilding damaged areas, managing subcontractors, or communicating directly with homeowners. You take pride in your work, require minimal supervision, and understand how to deliver a finished product that exceeds customer expectations. Compensation Competitive pay based on experience, skill level, and leadership ability. Opportunities for advancement, performance bonuses, company vehicle allowance, and long-term career growth available for the right candidate.
