- Clean and maintain the work area and all hand and power equipment.
- Inspect work-in-progress to ensure that it conforms to the specifications, construction schedules, and quality standards as outlined in AP's quality management program.
- Instruct and direct laborers and other construction helpers.
- Where applicable, complete basic concrete formwork.
- Utilize forming systems or handmade form systems.
- Place and finish concrete.
- Assure that workmanship is of the highest quality.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
- History of carpentry experience and proven results including:
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Completion of an apprenticeship program or equivalent training.
- Ability to properly lift, carry, push, and move materials, supplies, tools, and ladders weighing up to 100 pounds on a routine basis throughout the day.
- Physical agility to climb ladders, kneel, crouch down, and reach on a repetitive basis throughout the day.
- Ability to travel to project sites up to 70+ miles away.
- Willingness to work in various (sometimes extreme) climate conditions.
- Proficient in using electrical and manual equipment and measurement tools (powered saws, hammers, builders' level, theodolite, etc.).
- Demonstrated ability to proactively resolve construction issues.
- Demonstrated ability to read and understand basic blueprints, specifications, and construction documents.
- Demonstrated integrity and ethical standards.
- Basic computer and math skills.
- Demonstrated high attention to detail.
- Ability to be self-motivated, set own goals and tasks, and contribute to a positive team environment.
