• Coordinate directly with project management, procurement, and suppliers to align material deliveries and resource needs.
• Interpret and implement blueprints and specifications to ensure construction meets architectural and civil design intent.
• Self-perform and lead carpentry work as required by project scope.
• Manage site inspections, permitting, and coordination with local jurisdictions.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA and company safety standards.
• Address client inquiries and field challenges with professionalism and urgency.
• Uphold company standards for quality control and continuous improvement on every jobsite.

Qualifications

• Must be a carpenter by trade with demonstrated hands-on skill in rough and finish carpentry.
• Minimum 5 years of commercial or industrial construction experience.
• Experience leading field crews or subcontractors on ground-up or renovation projects.
• Must own and use personal carpentry tools.
• OSHA 30 or similar safety certification preferred.
• Must reside in southeastern Wisconsin or southern Wisconsin
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus but not required.

Compensation & Benefits

• Hourly pay: $33-$45+ per hour for local projects (equivalent to approximately $70,000-$92,000 annually).
• Travel compensation: $250/day minimum per diem (non-taxable) plus company-paid lodging for road projects.
• Profit Sharing
• Performance Bonuses
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, and retirement.

Why Join

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity to work within a values-driven, employee-owned company that takes pride in craftsmanship, community, and continuous growth. With more than 30 new commercial builds slated for 2026, including long-term franchise partnerships, our client offers stability, challenge, and the opportunity to build your legacy with a team that invests in its people.
