AKN INTERIORS

Residential Remodeling Carpenter

Location: Bethel Park, PA (Daily travel to residential job sites throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area.)

Build One-of-a-Kind Spaces with a Team That Values the Details

AKN Interiors is a fast-growing design-build remodeling company specializing in custom kitchens, bathrooms, basements, whole-home renovations, additions, and detailed interior carpentry. Every project is professionally designed and supported by architectural or technical drawings, an assigned Project Manager, and an organized office team. We take pride in completing distinctive residential projects where quality craftsmanship and attention to detail matter.

AKN Interiors is seeking an experienced Residential Remodeling Carpenter with strong finish-carpentry skills and a passion for producing high-quality work. Depending on your background, your work may also include tile installation and other skilled remodeling tasks. This is not a repetitive production-construction position. Our projects are customized, design-driven, and often require creative problem-solving in occupied homes. You will take direction from an assigned Project Manager, work from detailed drawings, and collaborate with a team that understands the trades and expects work to be completed correctly.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete residential remodeling work in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, and other interior spaces.
• Perform framing, drywall installation and repairs, flooring, finish carpentry, cabinet work, trim work, and light painting.
• Complete tile installation when it aligns with your skills and experience.
• Occasionally assist with exterior carpentry, including decks and porch roofs.
• Install doors, trim, millwork, cabinetry, hardware, and other detailed finish components.
• Read and follow architectural plans, engineering drawings, specifications, and detailed designer documentation.
• Coordinate daily work with the assigned Project Manager and other field team members.
• Identify jobsite conditions that may affect the approved scope or planned work.
• Complete assigned work within established timelines while maintaining AKN Interiors' quality standards.
• Protect clients' homes and maintain clean, safe, and organized jobsites.
• Store and care for tools, equipment, and materials properly.
• Follow company safety procedures and all applicable jobsite requirements.
• Communicate professionally with coworkers, subcontractors, Project Managers, and homeowners.
• Help deliver a finished result that exceeds the client's expectations.

Qualifications

• At least three years of residential remodeling or comparable construction experience; five or more years is preferred.
• Strong finish-carpentry skills are required.
• Experience in kitchen and bathroom remodeling is strongly preferred.
• Tile installation experience is an asset.
• Ability to perform multiple remodeling tasks, including framing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, trim, and light painting.
• Ability to read architectural plans, engineering drawings, and detailed construction documents.
• Skilled and safe use of hand tools, power tools, and carpentry equipment.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing consistently high-quality work.
• Ability to solve problems and adapt when working in existing homes.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to take direction from a Project Manager and follow an established project plan.
• Experience using JobTread or another construction-management platform is an asset.
• Comfortable working in a technology-forward company.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation are required.
• Ability to travel directly to job sites throughout Greater Pittsburgh, including areas such as Robinson, Wexford, Fox Chapel, Sewickley, Upper St. Clair, Mount Lebanon, Squirrel Hill, and Shadyside.
• Ability to lift 50 pounds, climb ladders, work on feet throughout the day, and perform physical construction work safely.
• Company provides major tools and equipment. Employees are expected to provide basic personal hand tools.
• Willing to travel between multiple job sites in the same day, as needed.
• Comfortable communicating professionally and positively with homeowners and, occasionally, subcontractors.

Pay and Benefits

• Full-time, W-2, year-round employment.
• Pay: $35 - $40 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated skill.
• Company health insurance plan with a substantial employer contribution.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Two weeks of paid time off annually, including one flexible week and the company's scheduled holiday closure between Christmas and New Year's.
• Tools provided.
• Organized projects supported by detailed drawings and a dedicated Project Manager.
• Opportunities for increased responsibility and career advancement.
• AKN Interiors promotes leadership growth from within the company.
• Applicants with criminal records are encouraged to apply.
• Schedule: Monday-Friday, typically 7:30 AM-4:00 PM. Occasional overtime may be available based on project schedules.
