Kitchen Tune-Up and Bath Tune-Up of Bloomfield are growing, and we’re hiring a Lead Carpenter / Field Foreman to lead our crews in the field and set the standard for craftsmanship, jobsite organization, and production pace.

This is a hands‑on leadership role — not a desk job. You’ll be the senior person on site, responsible for execution quality, daily workflow, and keeping projects running smoothly while working alongside the team.

We already have a dedicated Project Manager handling scheduling, client coordination, and logistics. Your role is to own the build in the field and ensure every project is completed efficiently and to a high standard.

Lead and support install crews on kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects.

• Set daily priorities and maintain a productive, organized jobsite
• Perform skilled carpentry and installation work as needed
• Oversee cabinet installation, refacing, trim, and finish work
• Ensure projects stay on pace while maintaining high craftsmanship standards
• Identify and resolve field issues quickly to prevent delays
• Communicate progress and field updates with the Project Manager
• Maintain a clean, safe, and professional work environment
• Serve as the on‑site leader and example for quality and professionalism

What We’re Looking For

A seasoned remodeling professional who naturally takes ownership of the jobsite and leads by example.

• Extensive experience in residential remodeling, carpentry, & all areas of construction
• Proven ability to lead crews while staying hands‑on
• Deep knowledge of kitchen and bathroom installation processes
• High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Ability to read plans, problem‑solve, and keep projects moving
• Professional and respectful when working in customers’ homes
• Reliable, organized, and solutions‑oriented mindset

Requirements

10+ years of residential remodeling or construction experience required

• Significant experience leading crews or managing installs in the field
• Strong background in cabinet installation and finish carpentry preferred
• Comfortable using hand tools and power equipment daily
• Comfortable using smartphones or tablets for project updates, photos, communication, and reviewing plans
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Ability to lift and work on active job sites

Why Join Our Team

• Steady, full‑time local work — no overnight travel
• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Strong pipeline of projects with a growing company
• Team‑first culture with direct access to ownership
• Uniforms and company gear provided
• Opportunity to grow into senior field leadership as we scale

The Impact of This Role

This position is critical to our success. You’ll be the person who ensures our projects run smoothly, our standards stay high, and our crews perform at their best every day.

If you take pride in your craft, enjoy leading from the front, and want to be part of a company that’s growing fast and doing things the right way, we’d love to talk.
