Collaboration is key; you'll regularly coordinate with carpenters, supervisors, and other tradespeople to ensure each phase of construction is completed accurately and on schedule. As you gain experience, you'll take on more complex tasks, prepare for journeyman-level responsibilities, and expand your skills in framing and construction.
