Carpentry Manager Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

MUECKE is seeking an experienced Finish Carpenter Foreman to join our residential construction team. This is a hands-on leadership role for a skilled carpenter who can perform high-quality work, direct a crew, coordinate with other trades, and help keep projects organized and moving forward.

The ideal candidate may currently be working as a lead carpenter, working foreman, or residential project lead. Experience managing projects or operating a small construction business is valuable, but this position requires someone who is willing to remain on the tools while taking responsibility for field execution.

This role offers an opportunity to demonstrate both carpentry and project-leadership ability, with the potential to take on greater project-management responsibility over time.

• Lead and coordinate the daily work of carpenters or small crews
• Lay out walls, ceilings, windows, and door openings
• Frame walls and ceilings according to construction plans
• Plan framing around lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, plumbing, HVAC components, and other recessed items
• Install doors, windows, crown molding, casing, baseboard, and related finish materials
• Scribe baseboard and trim to floors or uneven surfaces when needed
• Read and interpret plans, drawings, and project specifications
• Coordinate with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and other trades to support project progress
• Identify field conflicts and help resolve construction challenges before they create delays
• Manage time, materials, crew priorities, and daily job-site needs
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work area
• Ensure work is completed accurately, efficiently, and to MUECKE's quality standards

• Strong residential carpentry experience
• Experience with both framing and finish carpentry
• Demonstrated ability to install doors, windows, crown molding, casing, and baseboard
• Ability to complete layout work for walls, ceilings, windows, and door openings
• Ability to read plans and frame accurately according to specifications
• Experience leading a crew, directing carpenters, or taking responsibility for a job site
• Strong time-management, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to coordinate effectively with subcontractors and other trades
• Willingness to perform hands-on carpentry while leading field operations
• Commitment to maintaining a clean and organized job site
• Dependable attendance and reliable transportation
• Physical ability to perform construction-related work throughout the workday

Candidates should be comfortable using standard carpentry hand and power tools, including:

• Chop saws
• Table saws
• Routers
• Biscuit joiners
• Planers
• Belt sanders
• Nail guns
• Other common framing and finish-carpentry tools

Having your own professional carpentry tools is helpful but not required.

• Previous experience as a lead carpenter, working foreman, or residential project lead
• Crew-management and field-leadership experience
• Residential renovation or remodeling experience
• Experience coordinating project phases, materials, schedules, or subcontractors
• Background operating a small carpentry, remodeling, or construction business
• Ability to scribe baseboard and trim accurately
• Interest in growing into greater project-management responsibility

Pay range: $20-$35 per hour, based on demonstrated carpentry experience, leadership ability, technical skill, and level of project responsibility.

• Hands-on leadership responsibility
• Opportunity to work on detailed residential construction projects
• Stable work with a quality-focused construction company
• A professional team environment
• Exposure to multiple phases of the residential construction process
• Growth opportunities for individuals who demonstrate strong leadership, organization, and technical ability
• Potential advancement into increased project coordination or management responsibility

MUECKE has built its reputation through quality workmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results for clients.

We are looking for a carpenter who takes ownership of the work, understands how to keep a crew and project moving, and is comfortable balancing leadership responsibilities with hands-on field execution. This is an opportunity to contribute directly to project quality while building toward a larger leadership role within the company.

Please submit a resume or a brief summary of your residential carpentry experience.

Applicants should be prepared to describe:

• Their experience with framing and finish carpentry
• Their ability to install doors, windows, crown molding, casing, and baseboard
• The size of crews or projects they have led
• Their experience reading plans and completing layout work
• Their experience coordinating with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and other trades
• The carpentry tools they regularly use
• A residential project where they were responsible for keeping the work organized and moving forward

Qualified applicants may be asked to clarify their hands-on carpentry, crew-leadership, and project-coordination experience before an interview.
