We are currently hiring a carpenter.
Here’s the deal. Our approach to building is hard. On most days we’re trying to achieve what the rest of the industry thinks is impossible: building top-quality homes with perfect details that are super airtight, well-insulated, adhere to the best in building science, and are truly high-performing homes. All of this while making sure our clients are excited and happy during the process, our subcontractors are well taken care of with a good environment to do their work, and the social and ecological communities we’re a part of are better than we found them.
It’s a tall order. We get that. But it’s why we exist. We’re here to do the hard things to make our company part of the solution to the problems we face, and we refuse to back down from a challenge.
To work here those challenges need to excite you. You will be held to the highest standard of work. You will be expected to care about every single aspect of our projects: we care as much about air sealing tape as we do a crisp miter joint. No part of our work is less worthy than another.
We’re a residential general contractor. We manage jobs, we frame, we air seal, we do exterior finish and siding, we work with subcontractors, more than anything: we problem solve. We’re looking for a well-rounded carpenter who loves high detail and building science equally who can focus on framing high-performance envelopes, exterior trim packages, and siding with the ability to work well with our subcontractors.
We want this industry to be more just and welcoming. Women, People of color, trans and gender non-conforming people, queer people, and people of any or no sexual orientation are encouraged to apply.
Compensation will be based on ability and experience and includes paid vacation time and healthcare.
Experienced Carpenter: $20-25.00 per hour
Lead Carpenter: $25-30.00 per hour
