Join a team of skilled, customer service oriented craftsmen doing beautiful work on homes in the Ann Arbor region. Enjoy competitive wages, a full set of fringe benefits, and opportunities to utilize your skills at a high level.


Who We Are


We are a design-build residential builder specializing in remodeling and custom homes. Our tag line is " An artist's eye, and a craftsman's touch." With this approach, and with continually striving for integrity and customer service, we have built, and want to continue to build long lasting customer relationships. These have kept our work steady, even during slower economic times.


Position Summary


This opportunity will involve leading, while working alongside, a team of carpenters, and apprentice carpenters mostly on remodeling and additions, and occasionally on new homes or cabinets. Our crews mainly do carpentry - framing and finish - and on smaller jobs, a bit of the work of several other trades. Our younger team members also perform most, if not all, of the laborer work. You will work closely with one of our Project Coordinators on matters of schedule, subcontractor performance, materials, tools, equipment, supplies, and project staffing. You will also share responsibilities for communicating, and coordinating with homeowners, as needed, about day to day jobsite activities.


Key Responsibilities

  • Help manage subcontractor performance and jobsite resources
  • Communicate and coordinate with homeowners on day-to-day jobsite activities
  • Maintain productivity and accuracy to meet project timelines and company standards

Qualifications


Since in construction, prices for our work are often compared to that of other companies, we need workers who are both productive and accurate. We are looking for an individual to join our team of experienced professionals as we strive to provide quality, and creative design-build construction services to our clients with excellent customer service and integrity.


  • Experience in residential carpentry, including framing and finish work
  • Experience leading or working alongside a crew on job sites
  • Ability to balance productivity with accuracy in a construction environment
  • Comfortable coordinating with project teams and homeowners
  • Strong work ethic and commitment to quality craftsmanship
  • Ability to handle physical demands of construction work

  • Life insurance (limited coverage)
  • Paid vacation and holidays
