Job description

Love leading remodeling projects, but tired of feeling like you have to do everything yourself?

At Schloegel Design Remodel, you'll lead projects with the full support of a team around you, so you can focus on leading the job, solving problems and delivering a great experience without carrying every part of the business on your own.

Why Schloegel (It’s About More Than Just The Work.)

With over 45 years in business, Schloegel Design Remodel is a leader in Kansas City’s remodeling industry. But we’re most proud of being named a Best Place to Work by the Kansas City Business Journal. That recognition is based entirely on feedback from our team.

Here’s What That Means For You

We Have Fun & Stay Optimistic

We take our work seriously, but we keep perspective. We celebrate wins, help each other through challenges, and create an environment where you actually enjoy showing up.

We Are Engaged

You aren’t just a number. We stay connected, welcome ideas, and believe strong communication makes both the client and team member experience better.

Planned for Success

"Design Done Right" isn’t just for our clients. Clear processes, strong communication, and detailed systems help our team stay organized and deliver the experience our clients expect.

Why You’ll Love This Role

You’ll Lead the Project

You’ll have ownership of the day-to-day job site, from schedules and subcontractors to client communication and problem solving. You’re not simply being handed a task list. You’re helping drive the project and have the satisfaction of seeing it through from the first day of construction to the finished space.

You’ll Have a Team Behind You

You aren’t expected to do everything yourself. Our design, production, accounting and office teams handle the pieces behind the scenes so you can focus on leading the project and keeping the work moving.

Your Experience Is Valued The best Lead Carpenters understand construction, but they also know how to lead people, anticipate issues and communicate well with homeowners and trades. We want that experience at the table.
You’ll Work With People Who Take the Work Seriously Quality matters here. So does doing what we say we’re going to do, communicating well and treating clients, trade partners and one another with respect.

What You’ll Do

Take ownership of the day-to-day job site and serve as Schloegel’s on-site project lead.
Be the primary point of contact for homeowners during construction, keeping them informed and helping them feel confident in what’s happening next.
Oversee the daily progress of the job while performing rough and finish carpentry as needed.
Manage project schedules and work closely with Project Directors to keep projects moving.
Coordinate subcontractors, vendors and in-house team members.
Stay ahead of project needs by reviewing plans, selections, change orders, materials and upcoming work.
Maintain Schloegel standards for craftsmanship, job site safety, cleanliness, security and protection of the client’s home.
Hold subcontractors, vendors and in-house labor accountable to project expectations.
Use Buildertrend to keep project information, schedules, communication and documentation accurate and up to date.

What We’re Looking For

You know remodeling. You understand that working in an existing home takes a different kind of planning and problem solving than new construction.
You take pride in craftsmanship and notice the details other people might miss.
You can lead a job site. You’re comfortable coordinating trades, communicating expectations and keeping people moving in the same direction.
You communicate well. Homeowners, subcontractors and team members know what’s happening because you keep them informed.
You’re a problem solver. You proactively identify potential issues, bring forward solutions and work with the team to keep challenges from slowing the project down.
You take ownership. You don’t need someone standing over your shoulder to make sure things get done.
You’re also a team player. You know when to make the call and when to pull in the Project Director or another member of the team.
You follow through. If you say something is going to happen, people can count on you.

Additional Qualifications

Five or more years of remodeling experience preferred.
Strong knowledge of rough and finish carpentry.
Working knowledge of the different trades involved in residential remodeling.
Ability to read and understand plans, specifications and project documentation.
Strong client and subcontractor communication skills.
Comfortable learning and using technology such as Buildertrend.

Your Schedule

Our typical workday is 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Remodeling sometimes requires flexibility to meet project commitments, but we believe having a life outside of work matters too. Our systems, planning and team structure are designed to help projects stay on track without making chaos the normal way of doing business.
