Grae-Con is seeking a well-rounded Carpenter / Skilled Craft Worker to support commercial and industrial construction projects across the Ohio Valley region.

This is a strong fit for someone who is not limited to one narrow task and enjoys working across multiple phases of a project — from layout and concrete/formwork through general carpentry and finish work.

Grae-Con is especially interested in candidates who bring strong concrete, formwork, and layout experience, along with the ability to support a variety of commercial construction scopes.

• Perform skilled carpentry and general craft work on commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, and renovation projects.
• Support layout, formwork, concrete preparation, slabs, expansion joints, and related structural work.
• Assist with framing, blocking, backing, doors, hardware, millwork, and interior carpentry as needed.
• Work safely and productively in active jobsites, occupied spaces, phased renovations, and ground-up construction environments.
• Read and interpret basic drawings, plans, measurements, and jobsite instructions.
• Coordinate with superintendents, foremen, project managers, and other trades.
• Help maintain jobsite quality, safety, cleanliness, and production expectations.
• Use tools, equipment, and materials properly and safely.
• Adapt to changing project needs and support the crew where needed.

The ideal candidate is a versatile commercial carpenter or skilled craft worker with strong field experience and a willingness to work across multiple types of construction tasks.

• Commercial carpentry.
• Concrete formwork.
• Civil / site concrete support.
• Layout.
• Slabs and expansion joints.
• General building construction.
• Renovations and ground-up work.
• Commercial, industrial, school, healthcare, or government projects.

This role is not limited to finish carpentry or steel studs/drywall. Candidates who can work from early-stage construction through later-stage carpentry will be the strongest fit.

• Experience in commercial carpentry, concrete, formwork, or related skilled construction work.
• Ability to work safely and productively on active commercial jobsites.
• Ability to read measurements, follow drawings, and complete work according to project requirements.
• Comfort using standard construction tools, materials, and equipment.
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to support the team where needed.
• Ability to follow superintendent, foreman, and safety direction.
• Willingness to work across Grae-Con’s regional project footprint in the Ohio Valley.

• Union construction experience.
• Experience with form carpentry, concrete, slabs, expansion joints, layout, or civil work.
• Experience using layout tools or total station equipment.
• Experience on commercial, industrial, healthcare, school, or government projects.
• Ability to support both rough and finish carpentry.
• Background with self-performing general contractors.
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30.
• Willingness to enter or work within a union environment, if applicable.

Grae-Con operates in a union construction environment.

Union experience is preferred, but candidates from non-union backgrounds may also be considered if they have the right commercial construction skills and are open to working within a union environment.

For craft roles, union requirements may apply depending on the project,…
