The team prides itself on craftsmanship, clear communication with clients and trade partners, and a supportive shop-to-site culture that helps talented carpenters grow their careers.


About The Role

We’re hiring a Master Finish Carpenter to lead finish installations across Tampa Bay projects, ensuring flawless trim, molding, cabinetry and stair assemblies. This is a hands-on leader role for a detail-driven professional who takes pride in superior fit-and-finish and can mentor junior carpenters while managing on-site quality and schedules.


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute high-end finish carpentry installations including crown molding, base, casings, custom cabinetry, built-ins, stair treads/rails and architectural millwork.
  • Interpret blueprints, shop drawings and field dimensions to lay out work accurately and ensure precise fits.
  • Perform complex ripping, scribing, copes, mitering and seamless transitions between materials and assemblies.
  • Operate hand and power tools (routers, shapers, table saws, planers, jointers, finish nailers) and maintain shop equipment and hand tools in top condition.
  • Provide on-site problem solving, work with project managers and subcontractors, and adjust details to meet design intent and schedule demands.
  • Inspect and sign off on completed work for quality control; ensure surfaces are ready for finish painters or installers.
  • Train and mentor apprentices and journeymen, set expectations for craftsmanship, and promote a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Maintain clean, organized job sites and follow safe work practices to protect team members and clients’ properties.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5–8 years of finish carpentry or millwork experience, with a portfolio or photos demonstrating high-quality trim, cabinetry, and stair work.
  • Proven ability to lead small field crews and coordinate with project managers, painters, and other trades.
  • Strong measuring, layout, and joinery skills; comfort reading construction plans and shop drawings.
  • Expertise with finish-grade materials: hardwoods, MDF, finger-jointed trim, veneers, adhesives and fasteners.
  • Reliable transportation to job sites across Tampa Bay and a valid driver’s license.
  • Strong attention to detail, excellent problem-solving skills, and the discipline to deliver consistent, high-quality results on schedule.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience in a mill/shop environment as well as field installation.
  • Ability to read and create basic shop drawings and cut lists.
  • Leadership qualities: clear communicator, dependable, organized, and comfortable mentoring others.
