Lead Carpenter

Job Summary

Rowe Carpentry runs a three-month waitlist and has never bought an ad. The reputation comes from the jobs other crews turn down, such as gut renovations where the plans stop matching the house the day demo starts. Every client who watches us pull one off refers us to the next one.

Responsibilities

• Lead the on-site crew through daily execution — assign tasks, set pace, and keep work moving from setup to final sweep.
• Own quality control at the trade level — walk through every detail before the PM or the client sees it.
• Execute high-level carpentry work on complex additions and custom renovations, including old-home challenges.
• Manage materials and flag needs before the site runs short — no crew stands around waiting.
• Maintain a clean, organized job site at the end of every day — tools put away, materials sorted, rig squared away.
• Communicate proactively — surface problems, unexpected discoveries, or schedule risks before they become client issues.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on carpentry experience.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to pass a background check.
• US work authorization.

About the Role

The site gets squared away before anyone's truck leaves. Tools put away, materials accounted for. The client owns the house you're standing in and drops by whenever they feel like it. The crew they find should be one they'd brag about to the neighbors. The best people we've hired never waited to be told what came next. If you need tomorrow's list handed to you, this job will wear you out. If you're the one everyone looks at when the drawings stop making sense, send us the ugliest structural problem you've ever solved and what you did about it. That tells us more than a résumé ever will.
