Lead Carpenter

Are you a high-level lead carpenter who’s tired of carrying a team that doesn’t seem to give a damn? Innovex Renovations may be the next step you have been looking for.

• If you are someone who takes pride in doing things the right way, not the fastest sloppy way, this role is built for you.

• We are looking for a Lead Carpenter / Working Foreman who can run high-end residential remodeling projects with skill, ownership, and professionalism. You do not need to be perfect, but you do need to care. You need to think like a leader, communicate clearly, solve problems calmly, and hold the line on quality.

• You are the kind of person who notices when a site is messy, when a wall is out of plumb, when a detail needs to be clarified, or when a younger carpenter needs coaching instead of criticism.

• You do not wait around for someone else to own the outcome. You take responsibility.

• At Innovex Renovations, we work on high-end residential remodels: kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home renovations throughout Asheville NC and the surrounding area.

• This is not production work. This is detailed remodeling where homeowners expect professionalism, clean sites, respectful communication, and strong execution.

• Your day may include laying out framing, installing trim, coordinating materials, leading one to three team members, walking a homeowner through a question, solving a field condition, reading plans, or making sure the site is ready for the next trade.

• You will work around people who care about craftsmanship, accountability, and getting better. We expect clean job sites, organized communication, and professional conduct in occupied homes.

• This is a working leadership role. You will have tools on, but you will also be expected to lead.

We promise you:

• You will be surrounded by higher standards.

• We care about quality, cleanliness, communication, and doing what we said we would do.

• You will have a real path to grow.

For the right person, this role can grow into a Project Manager position with more responsibility, leadership, and earning potential.

• You will be treated like a professional.

You bring serious skill and ownership to the table. We will respect that, support it, and expect you to keep raising the bar.
