Remodeling Carpenter

Residential Remodeling Carpenter

E.N.A. Contracting is hiring an experienced Remodeling Carpenter to work on residential remodeling, additions, decks, property-maintenance projects and selected commercial work.

This is not an entry-level labor position. The right candidate will have broad hands-on construction experience, understand the normal sequence of a remodeling project and be able to complete assigned work without constant supervision.

Projects vary in size and scope. One week may involve a deck or room addition, while another may include a bathroom remodel, drywall repair, trim installation or property-maintenance work.

• Maintain quality standards throughout each phase of construction.
• Work safely and keep jobsites organized.
• Coordinate effectively with crew members, subcontractors and supervisors.
• Communicate professionally when working in occupied homes and customer-facing environments.
• Take progress photos and provide basic job updates through company systems.
• Support less-experienced crew members when appropriate.
• Move between remodeling, construction and property-maintenance assignments as business needs change.

Required Qualifications

• At least three years of residential remodeling, carpentry or closely related construction experience.
• Experience with several of the following: framing, drywall, kitchens, baths, finish carpentry, flooring, tile, deck construction, cabinets, windows and doors, and siding or exterior repairs.
• Ability to read a tape measure accurately and perform basic construction math.
• Ability to use common hand and power tools safely.
• Ability to work safely at heights, on ladders and lifts, while climbing, bending, working in tight spaces, and carrying heavy construction materials.
• Reliable transportation to local jobsites.
• Smartphone proficiency for communication, photos and project updates.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a crew.
• Professional communication and dependable attendance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Five or more years of remodeling or general carpentry experience.

• Experience training helpers or junior carpenters.
• Basic familiarity with plumbing, electrical or HVAC-related repair work within an appropriate construction scope.
• Experience using Houzz, Buildertrend or similar project software.
• Valid driver's license and ability to operate a company vehicle, if assigned.
