Lead Carpenter

We are seeking a Lead Carpenter to join our Spokane team to manage and execute a variety of home repair, remodeling, and safety modification projects from start to finish. In this role, you will act as both a lead craftsman and a project manager, taking ownership of project timelines, budgets, and client satisfaction.

This position is ideal for an experienced carpenter who wants to step away from the stress of bidding and selling work. At Tru Blue, our jobs are already sold before you arrive. We handle the scheduling, marketing, and client matching so that you can focus entirely on delivering high-quality craftsmanship, achieving a perfect final reveal, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance with a consistent, five-day work week and no travel outside of Spokane County.

On a day-to-day basis, you will lead hands-on carpentry tasks while keeping your projects running smoothly. Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Project Execution: Performing high-quality hands-on work, including door and window replacements, deck construction, handrails, trim work, flooring repairs, and home safety modifications.
• Client Communication: Serving as the primary on-site contact for homeowners, explaining the project steps, managing expectations, and building trusted relationships.
• Resource Management: Coordinating with internal team members and external trade vendors to ensure the right materials and labor are allocated to each project.
• Progress Tracking: Managing project budgets and schedules, and communicating progress clearly to both clients and our office leadership.

Over time, success in this role means establishing yourself as a reliable leader who consistently earns five-star reviews and repeat business through outstanding workmanship and clear, professional communication.

• At least 10 years of paid, professional carpentry experience.
• Advanced finish carpentry skills, including trim work, door and window installation, and general home repairs.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent time management and task prioritization abilities.
• A valid driver's license and a reliable vehicle suitable for transport to local job sites (an auto allowance is provided).

• Prior experience managing small residential construction projects or leading small crews.
• Knowledge of ADA guidelines and aging-in-place home safety modifications.
• Experience using basic digital tools or scheduling software for project updates.

We believe in supporting our team with competitive pay, reliable hours, and benefits that contribute to a sustainable career.

• Pay Rate: $28.00 to $32.00 per hour, paid weekly.
• Schedule: Consistent full-time hours, Monday through Friday, with a strong emphasis on work-life balance.
• Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Retirement: 401(k) plan.
• Allowances: Auto allowance to cover local travel.
• Professional Development: Opportunities for professional growth and cross-training.
