    Ensure projects stay on pace while maintaining high craftsmanship standards

    Identify and resolve field issues quickly to prevent delays

    Communicate progress and field updates with the Project Manager

    Maintain a clean, safe, and professional work environment

    Serve as the on-site leader and example for quality and professionalism

    What We’re Looking For

    A seasoned remodeling professional who naturally takes ownership of the jobsite and leads by example.

    Extensive experience in residential remodeling, carpentry, & all areas of construction

    Proven ability to lead crews while staying hands-on

    Deep knowledge of kitchen and bathroom installation processes

    High attention to detail and pride in workmanship

    Ability to read plans, problem-solve, and keep projects moving

    Professional and respectful when working in customers’ homes

    Reliable, organized, and solutions-oriented mindset

    Requirements

    10+ years of residential remodeling or construction experience required

    Significant experience leading crews or managing installs in the field

    Strong background in cabinet installation and finish carpentry preferred

    Comfortable using hand tools and power equipment daily

    Comfortable using smartphones or tablets for project updates, photos, communication, and reviewing plans

    Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

    Ability to lift and work on active job sites

    Why Join Our Team

    Steady, full-time local work — no overnight travel

    Competitive hourly pay based on experience

    Strong pipeline of projects with a growing company

    Team-first culture with direct access to ownership

    Uniforms and company gear provided

    Opportunity to grow into senior field leadership as we scale
