Job description

We are looking for a capable and skilled carpenter to join our team. NBI specializes in high-end remodeling - transforming homes with craftsmanship and care. We are seeking a lead carpenter who is as passionate about teaching and mentoring as they are about fine craftsmanship. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in the high-end remodel environment, maintains impeccable standards, and takes pride in developing the next generation of skilled carpenters. You'll oversee daily site operations, guide other carpenters, and ensure that each project meets our high standards for quality, performance, and client experience. This is posted as a full-time position, but we are open to entertaining it as a part-time position.

Compensation : $30 - $38 hourly

Responsibilities :

  • Lead daily operations on-site for high-end residential remodeling projects, ensuring craftsmanship, quality, and efficiency.
  • Mentor and train newer carpenters — teaching techniques, modeling professionalism, and fostering a culture of learning.
  • Apply a strong understanding of building science  principles to every phase of the remodel — moisture management, air sealing, insulation, and system integration.
  • Plan and sequence work to align with project schedules and budgets while maintaining attention to fine detail.
  • Coordinate with designers, project managers, and homeowners to ensure clarity and excellence in communication.
  • Prioritize in-person and phone communication — building relationships through conversation, not just messages.
  • Maintain a meticulously organized, safe, and professional jobsite.
  • Write clear job logs, material lists, and progress updates with attention to detail and tone.

Qualifications :

  • 7+ years of professional carpentry experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or lead carpenter role within high-end residential remodeling .
  • Proven ability to train, coach, and inspire developing carpenters and apprentices.
  • Strong understanding of building science  and how it applies to remodels in existing structures.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills — personable, articulate, and approachable.
  • High level of craftsmanship with a commitment to precision, finish quality, and client satisfaction.
  • Organized, schedule-driven, and detail-oriented.
  • Excellent written communication for documentation and reporting.
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
  • About Company

    Nelson Builders is a family-owned company that has been in business since 2001. We strive to produce excellent work for clients with good communication all along the way. Our core values are excellence, caring for others, trustworthiness, and initiative.
