Job description

Carpenters are some of the first workers on a jobsite, and some of the last to leave.

They assist in site preparation; build concrete forms and decks; frame walls and roofs; hang interior and exterior walls; install windows, doors, acoustical ceilings, cabinetry, countertops and trim; and install locks, hardware and specialty furniture.

Carpenters work on almost any construction site imaginable, including new construction and remodeling, such as single-family homes; condominium and apartment projects; office towers, corporate and industrial buildings; new and remodeled hospitals, malls, stores and offices; and public projects such as stadiums, arenas, roads, bridges, schools and university buildings.

Carpenters need more than just good math and geometry skills; they have to be tough and flexible, able to work indoors or out, in the summer heat and humidity or in the bitter cold and snow of winter.

KEY AREAS:

• Wood Framing, including residential framing layout, residential wall framing, stairs, roof framing, roof trusses and floor trusses
• Interior Systems, including wood-and metal-framed wall partitions, framed soffits, metal jamb installation, suspended ceilings and soffits, clean rooms, demountable partitions, and raised floors
• Concrete Form Work, including footings, column pads, column forms, wall forms, slab and deck forms, beam and girder forms, deck and edge forms for bridges, and stair forms
• Exterior Finish, including siding, wood and vinyl soffits, asphalt shingles, doors, and window units
• Interior Finish, including basic cabinet installation, countertops, shelving, paneling, trim, door hanging, and commercial hardware (door closers, panic devices, latch and lock sets, including low-voltage applications)

Requirements for Both Roles:

• Ability to lift and carry 50+ pounds regularly
• Prolonged periods of standing, kneeling, squatting, bending, and working on scaffolds
• Strong math and measuring skills for accurate layout and cuts
• Keen eye for detail, symmetry, and quality craftsmanship
• Ability to follow safety protocols and use personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Basic knowledge of industry materials and tools
• Reliable transportation and punctuality
