• Demonstrated proficiency with common carpentry and building-maintenance tools, materials, repair methods, and safe work practices.

• Strong communication, teamwork, reliability, and willingness to develop skills outside of a primary trade.

Preferred:

• Experience with commercial doors and hardware, ceilings, walls and finishes, casework, or other institutional building components.

• Assigned to the Carpentry team with opportunities for continued technical development.
• Works alongside experience technicians, licensed trades professionals, and Facilities operators.
