  • Comfort building and owning project schedules

Compensation:

  • Oversee residential remodeling projects from the first day on site to the final walkthrough

  • Direct the field crew's day-to-day production and workflow

  • Work closely with trade partners to keep every project on schedule and up to standard

  • Set up and track project schedules in JobTread

  • Visit job sites regularly to check on progress, workmanship, and safety

  • Mentor and develop carpenters and other field team members

  • Take ownership as the go-to field leader for getting projects built

  • Communicate directly with homeowners as their main point of contact throughout the build

  • Jump in on carpentry tasks when needed to keep a project moving


Qualifications:

  • History of successfully juggling schedules, crews, and several projects at once
  • Background as a foreman, production manager, or similar field leadership role
  • Skilled carpenter across both rough framing and finish work
  • Equally comfortable directing a team and working alongside them on site
