If you are a resourceful builder who takes pride in quality work, solves problems on the fly, and thrives in a diverse daily work environment, we want to hear from you.

• Blueprint Reading & Site Prep: Read and interpret construction drawings, blueprints, and specifications to ensure accurate layout, leveling, and execution.
• Site Management & Safety: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site in compliance with OSHA and company safety standards.
• Problem Solving: Assess structural or job-site challenges and adapt methods to ensure projects remain on timeline and within budget.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: Verifiable hands-on experience in commercial or industrial carpentry, general contracting, or facility maintenance.
• Versatility: Proven ability to handle multiple phases of construction, from selective demolition, structural remodeling, rough carpentry, and general site installations.
• Tools: Possession of basic hand and power tools necessary for daily carpentry tasks is a plus, but not required.
• Skills: Strong knowledge of building codes, materials, layout techniques, and safety protocols.
• Physical Demands: Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work on ladders/scaffolding, stand/bend for extended periods, and work in varying weather conditions.
• Licensing: Valid Driver’s License with clean driving record and reliable transportation to job sites across Southeast Michigan.

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic knowledge of additional trades, including but not limited to plumbing, electrical, or HVAC touch-ups.
• OSHA 10/30 certification is a plus.

What We Offer
