Skilled Carpenter

Lighthouse Contracting Group builds custom homes and remodels around the Lakes Region, and our reputation gets rebuilt every day — one tight miter, one clean jobsite, one happy homeowner at a time. We're looking for a Skilled Carpenter who takes that personally.

This isn't a  warm body with a tool belt  posting. We're a tight, motivated crew with real systems, real mentorship, and zero tolerance for chaos jobsites. If you've been carrying a disorganized company on your back, come see what it's like when the materials are actually onsite when you need them.

One more thing: we're hiring for a full-time W2 spot first and foremost - but if you're a well-qualified 1099 independent contractor with your own insurance and the skills to back it up, we'd like to hear from you too. Same standards, same clean jobsites.

• Rough and finish carpentry on high-end residential remodels — framing to trim, windows to built-ins.
• Read real blueprints (plan, elevation, section) and build exactly what's on them.
• Work with a Project Manager who handles the client circus so you can build.
• Keep a jobsite so clean the homeowner brags about it to the neighbors.
• Level up through our 50 Skills Checklist with a dedicated Head Carpenter & Mentor. Yes, we actually train people. On purpose.
• You can add fractions on a tape measure in your head and it slightly annoys you when others can't.
• You know why a 23-gauge pin exists, and when a 15-gauge is the wrong answer.
• You scribe to the wave in a 100-year-old wall instead of caulking your sins away.
• You'd rather flag a problem today than hide it behind drywall forever.
• You have a driver's license, dependable transportation (truck preferred), and your own hand and cordless tools.
• You've got 10+ years in residential remodeling and construction, and the work to prove it.
• If you're applying as a 1099 sub: you carry your own liability insurance (workers' comp where
• required), and you run your business as professionally as you run your saw.

• Not a  figure it out alone  shop — you'll have a PM, a Lead PM, a mentor, and a safety officer in your corner.
• Not a production-line tract builder — this is custom work in real people's homes.
• Not disorganized — schedules live in Job Tread, materials show up, and everyone knows who holds the baton.

• $29-$35/hr, based on experience and skill level.
• $3,900 sign-on bonus ($325 after month one, $325 monthly thereafter).
• 6 Paid holidays plus your birthday and vacation time.
• SIMPLE IRA with company match + profit sharing.
• $455/mo. Health insurance stipend.
• A crew that actually likes each other, and a company that promotes from within.
• For 1099 independent contractors: competitive rates based on skill and scope, steady work with a builder that pays on time, and jobsites where the materials are there and the plan is clear.
