• Manual Application Tools: Skilled use of extension poles, heavy-duty rollers, and precision angled brushes for sharp cutting-in along ceilings, baseboards, and metal door frames.


• Facility Logistics: Safely move, lift, and rearrange office furniture, materials, and equipment to facilitate renovations or room reconfigurations.


• General Clean-Up: Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work environment by performing daily site clean-up and debris disposal.


• Craft Utility Support: Prepare fresh water stations and reliably deliver water and supplies to on‑site crafts, work crews, or operating units.

• Experience: Proven history as a civil or commercial carpenter with a strong understanding of trade practices, procedures, and techniques.


• Technical Skills: Solid knowledge of structural design, precise measurement, and the independent ability to read and interpret construction blueprints.


• Painting Expertise: Demonstrated competency in mixing paint, thinning coatings for spray applications, and performing routine field maintenance on paint sprayer pumps and filters.


• Physical Demands: Highly physical role requiring the ability to lift heavy materials/furniture (50+ lbs), climb ladders, stand for long shifts, and work in diverse facility environments.


• Work Ethic: Strong team-player attitude, willing to jump from skilled carpentry work to general support and clean-up tasks as needed.
