• A role that blends hands‑on craft knowledge with project leadership and management responsibilities.

Salary: $100,000 – $140,000 per year.

• Plan, schedule, and manage in‑house carpentry, drywall, framing, and interior trades from pre‑construction through close‑out.
• Coordinate self‑perform scope with subcontracted trades and subcontractors—ensuring smooth sequencing and minimal conflicts.
• Monitor and direct self‑perform crew activities daily, assign tasks, supervise workmanship, ensure adherence to drawing/spec requirements, and enforce quality control.
• Maintain project schedules and budgets; identify and mitigate risks or delays—particularly those involving self‑perform work.
• Manage logistics for materials, labor, equipment, and site conditions for self‑perform scopes.
• Serve as the primary field point‑of‑contact for clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors regarding self‑perform trades.
• Ensure compliance with safety policies and standards on site, and promote a culture of safety, craftsmanship, and accountability.
• Provide status reports on progress of self‑performed work, coordination with other scopes, and overall project milestones.

• 5+ years of project management or construction supervision experience—specifically in carpentry, framing, drywall, or interior build‑out work.
• Strong hands‑on knowledge of carpentry, metal stud framing, drywall installation & finishing, and interior construction sequences.
