JOB DESCRIPTION

Being a Lead Carpenter is more than just a job title; it's a role that carries a significant responsibility and demands a blend of skill, knowledge, and leadership. A Lead Carpenter is the guiding hand on a construction project, responsible for orchestrating the carpentry work, ensuring it aligns with specifications, and maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

This role involves not only technical expertise in working with wood and other materials but also excellent project management and communication skills. A Lead Carpenter must be a problem solver, a mentor to junior team members, and a point of contact for clients, suppliers, and subcontractors.

Ultimately, being a Lead Carpenter means being the driving force behind the successful execution of a project, turning blueprints into tangible structures, and leaving a lasting mark of quality and professionalism in the construction industry.

“When we build, let us think that we build forever.  Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone.  Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, “See! This our father did for us.””
