What does a typical workday look like for someone in timber framing?

A typical day in Timber Framing involves reading and interpreting blueprints, measuring and cutting timber, assembling structural frames, and using both manual and power tools on construction sites. You may work individually at certain tasks or as part of a team, coordinating closely with project managers, architects, and other construction professionals. Work conditions are often outdoors and physically demanding, requiring attention to detail and strict adherence to safety protocols. Team collaboration, communication, and adaptability are key since project requirements can change based on weather or site logistics. Over time, gaining expertise in complex timber structures can lead to supervisory or specialized design roles.

What is timber framing?

A Timber Framing job involves constructing structures using heavy timber beams joined with traditional woodworking techniques such as mortise and tenon joints. Timber framers cut, shape, and assemble wooden frames for homes, barns, and other buildings, often without using metal fasteners. This craft requires precision, knowledge of wood species, and specialized tools to ensure strong, durable construction. Many timber framers work in workshops to cut and pre-fit components before assembling them on-site.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in timber framing, and why are they important?

To excel in Timber Framing, you need proficiency in carpentry, blueprint reading, structural mathematics, and often a relevant apprenticeship or certification in woodworking or construction. Familiarity with hand and power tools, heavy machinery like cranes, and safety standards such as OSHA regulations is typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills help you navigate jobsite challenges and collaborate with other trades. Mastery of these skills ensures the structural integrity of frames, efficient project completion, and a safe, productive work environment.

Job description

Job Overview
Join a team that builds with precision, works with integrity, and values craftsmanship at every level. We are a leading marine and industrial construction firm seeking a skilled Shipyard Carpenter to support ship repair, marine construction, and structural restoration projects. From bulkheads and dry docks to interior vessel outfitting, your work will help shape and maintain vital maritime infrastructure across a range of challenging and rewarding environments.

What You'll Do

  • Perform skilled carpentry in shipyard environments, including fabrication and installation of wood, composite, and synthetic materials
  • Construct and repair marine structures such as docks, ramps, seawalls, decking, and vessel interiors
  • Read and interpret ship plans, construction drawings, and blueprints
  • Operate power tools and hand tools, including saws, drills, grinders, and fastening systems
  • Assist in concrete formwork, demolition, layout, and timber framing
  • Support pile driving, rigging, and heavy material handling as needed
  • Collaborate with engineers, project managers, and fellow trades to ensure quality, safe work
  • Maintain a safe and organized workspace in compliance with OSHA and company protocols

What We're Looking For

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of carpentry experience in a shipyard, waterfront, or marine construction setting
  • Familiarity with treated timber, marine-grade plywood, and structural framing
  • Strong working knowledge of layout tools such as levels, squares, measuring tapes, and plumb lines
  • Experience using pneumatic tools, impact drivers, and chain hoists
  • Basic knowledge of pile installation, dock framing, and form setup
  • Must be able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, work at heights, and perform tasks in confined or elevated spaces
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required
  • Ability to pass pre-employment drug test and background screening

Bonus Skills (Preferred):

  • Experience with concrete reinforcement and formwork
  • Knowledge of NAVSEA specifications or military shipbuilding standards
  • OSHA 10 or 30 Maritime Certification
  • Familiarity with fiberglass or composite material installations

Who You Are

You're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. You take pride in doing the job right the first time, whether installing a bulkhead, framing an interior cabin, or fitting a new seawall. You adapt quickly, think critically, and bring an old-school work ethic to every task. You respect the risks of the job and prioritize safety as much as performance.

Working Conditions

  • Work is performed outdoors and aboard vessels in varying weather conditions
  • May involve confined space entry, overhead work, climbing, and extended periods of standing
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times on job site
Employment Type: FULL_TIME
