Job description

Paragon Construction Company Commute to Midlothian, VA (Required) | Full-Time | Onsite

Carpenter / Carpenter Apprentice

Paragon Construction Company At Paragon Construction Company, we build high-quality outdoor living spaces including custom decks, screened porches, sunrooms, and exterior renovations that homeowners are proud of.

We are looking for dependable, hardworking individuals who want more than "just another construction job." Whether you already have some carpentry experience or you've worked in labor-intensive construction roles and want the opportunity to grow into a skilled carpenter position, we want to meet you.

This Is a Great Opportunity For Someone Who

• Enjoys hands-on work and being outdoors
• Wants to learn from experienced carpenters
• Takes pride in showing up, working hard, and improving every day
• Is looking for a stable company with a strong team culture and long-term opportunity

If you're a proven hard worker looking for a better boss, a better team, and a company that actually values its people, this could be the right fit for you.

Why People Like Working at Paragon

• Supportive, team-oriented culture
• Fun crew that enjoys working together
• Steady, consistent work year-round
• Opportunity to grow into a skilled carpenter role
• Leadership that invests in training and development
• A company that takes care of its employees and values reliability, attitude, and effort

We care more about work ethic, coachability, and accountability than having a perfect resume.

What You'll Do

• Assist in building custom decks, porches, and outdoor living spaces
• Use hand tools and power tools safely and efficiently
• Measure, cut, and install materials accurately
• Support carpenters and team leads on active job sites
• Help maintain clean, safe, and organized work areas
• Learn carpentry skills and construction best practices through hands-on training
• Contribute to projects being completed on time and with quality craftsmanship

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of construction, carpentry, framing, general labor, or related experience preferred
• Basic understanding and ability to demonstrate experience in the use of construction tools and job site safety
• Ability to read a tape measure accurately, transfer the measurements to material and cut the material correctly
• Willingness to learn and grow into a carpenter role
• Strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Reliable transportation and valid driver's license
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Dependable, punctual, and team-oriented

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience and skill level
• Full-time, steady work
• Monday-Friday schedule
• Paid Time Off
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement plan with company matching
• Career growth and advancement opportunities
• Team events and a supportive company culture

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

A lot of people in construction work hard but never get the opportunity to truly grow. At Paragon, we believe good people become great carpenters when they have strong leadership, the right training, and a team that supports them.

If you're motivated, reliable, and ready to build a long-term career with a company that values your effort, we'd love to hear from you.

Salary: $20 - $25 per hour
