Role Description
This role will involve both the cutting of timber frames in our shop, as well as the raising of those timber frame structures out on jobsites that are spread across New England. The right individual will embrace the opportunity to learn how to both craft timber frames and put them up, rotating roughly monthly between the shop and the field.

When in the Timber Shop, you’ll work under the guidance of our Timber Shop Foreman, learning how to layout and hand cut precise Mortise & Tenon joinery. These timbers will be bundled into a package that will then go out into the field and be assembled by our Field Team.

When in the Field, under the supervision of the Field Team Foreman, you will work with the team to assemble the timbers into a frame and then attach the SIPs to the frame structure.

This role will involve lifting heavy timbers and equipment, using power tools, heavy equipment (telehandler, manlift) rigging, hand tools, climbing ladders, and working at heights of 20 or more feet in the air. To support efficient and safe operations, other miscellaneous jobsite and workshop tasks will also need to be completed.

The Field Team Foreman and Field Team members will train new employees in our practices and procedures.
