Job description

Carpenters are some of the first workers on a jobsite, and some of the last to leave.
They assist in site preparation; build concrete forms and decks; frame walls and roofs; hang interior and exterior walls; install windows, doors, acoustical ceilings, cabinetry, countertops and trim; and install locks, hardware and specialty furniture.
Carpenters work on almost any construction site imaginable, including new construction and remodeling, such as single-family homes; condominium and apartment projects; office towers, corporate and industrial buildings; new and remodeled hospitals, malls, stores and offices; and public projects such as stadiums, arenas, roads, bridges, schools and university buildings.
Carpenters need more than just good math and geometry skills; they have to be tough and flexible, able to work indoors or out, in the summer heat and humidity or in the bitter cold and snow of winter.
KEY AREAS:
โ€ข Interior Systems, including wood-and metal-framed wall partitions, framed soffits, metal jamb installation, suspended ceilings and soffits, clean rooms, demountable partitions, and raised floors
โ€ข Exterior Finish, including siding, wood and vinyl soffits, asphalt shingles, doors, and window units
โ€ข Interior Finish, including basic cabinet installation, countertops, shelving, paneling, trim, door hanging, and commercial hardware (door closers, panic devices, latch and lock sets, including low-voltage applications)
Requirements for Both Roles:
โ€ข Ability to lift and carry 50+ pounds regularly
โ€ข Prolonged periods of standing, kneeling, squatting, bending, and working on scaffolds
โ€ข Strong math and measuring skills for accurate layout and cuts
โ€ข Keen eye for detail, symmetry, and quality craftsmanship
โ€ข Ability to follow safety protocols and use personal protective equipment (PPE)
โ€ข Basic knowledge of industry materials and tools
โ€ข Reliable transportation and punctuality
