About the role
Own the Jobsite
Execute expert-level carpentry and hold the work to McLennan's quality standard.
Maintain a 2-week lookahead for your project — always knowing what's coming and ensuring the site is ready for it.
Hit scheduled milestones; flag any risk to your Project Manager before it's missed — not after.
Maintain a daily log in Jobtread for every day on site.
Lead the Crew
Direct and coordinate carpenters working on your site.
Meet trades at phase starts; ensure they understand the scope and that their work meets standards.
Maintain jobsite cleanliness, safety, and professionalism at all times.
Serve the Client
Serve as the primary point of contact for the homeowner during active construction.
Represent McLennan's values in every interaction — professional, warm, and trustworthy.
Communicate Up
Flag scope changes to your Project Manager immediately — never absorb scope without authorization.
Surface material needs, blockers, and schedule risks before they cause delays.
Inspect incoming deliveries and flag discrepancies on the spot.
