Job description

You’ve always wanted to build beautiful things and have a job where you’re physically active every day. You want to work in an uplifting, supportive environment and build a career in carpentry. That’s where we come in. We’re EuroSheds, a family-owned business specializing in custom-built, solid wood backyard sheds. For over 14 years, customers have known us for our beautiful products and high-quality service. Now, we’re growing. You might have a background in carpentry, renovation, or roofing – or maybe you’re just good with your hands and love working with tools. Wherever you come from, your dream of being a carpenter can become a reality with us.

Carpenter / Shed Builder

As our new carpenter / Shed Builder, your main goal is to learn and master our building and installation process. Half the time, you’ll work in our shop, learning how to cut lumber, frame, and build all components of our sheds. Our crew will coach you, teaching you all the steps from start to finish. You’ll use your solid understanding of math and measurement regularly. Eventually, you’ll be skilled enough to build a shed just by looking at a picture.

The other half of your time will be spent installing the sheds you built the previous day. You’ll start your day in the shop, loading shed components onto a trailer, then driving locally to customers’ sites with your crew. Together, you’ll assemble the components and finish off the installation by shingling the shed’s roof. You’ll be the face of our company to our customers, engaging them with your professional and friendly attitude. Meeting customers and answering their questions will be part of your role, as you understand how important great service is.

The Right Fit

Some exposure to carpentry or trades (especially shingle roofing) and experience using tools or working at heights would be an asset. What matters most is that you are:

• Proactive – You don’t wait to be told what to do. You stay one step ahead and take initiative to improve your skills.
• A team player – You are aware of what others are doing and help out whenever you can. No task is too big or small for you.
• Physically active – You’ll be on your feet most of the day, often doing heavy lifting. You’re excited to stay in shape through your work.
• Career-oriented – You aspire to become an excellent carpenter. As your skills grow, you’ll want to take on more responsibilities, such as representing us at home shows, handling customer meetings, or doing tool repairs.

The Details

This is a full-time position starting in June 2022. You’ll work from 7 am to 3 pm on weekdays, with occasional weekends. Opportunities for overtime are available as you complete jobs to satisfy customers. We offer a benefits package including medical, dental, and life insurance.

Working @ EuroSheds

At EuroSheds, we treat and respect our team like family. We maintain a positive environment every day, providing interesting work and opportunities to learn. We support your growth and career development. We also enjoy social events like summer barbecues and Christmas parties. We’d love for you to join us!
