About this role

We’re looking for experienced carpenters to work on a variety of projects across the Denver metro area, including framing, rough carpentry and finish work. You’ll handle layout, measuring, cutting and assembly on commercial and residential jobs — working independently on tasks or as part of a crew under a lead. This role is hands-on and detail-oriented. You should be comfortable reading basic plans, using a full set of hand and power tools, and solving on-site fit and finish issues. Expect regular daytime shifts on active job sites with occasional overtime and weekend work depending on project needs.

What you'll do

• Measure, mark, and cut materials to layout and construct frameworks, floors, walls and roofs following plans and specifications
• Perform bench carpentry tasks: fabricate trim, sashes, door and window components, and other finish pieces to required tolerances
• Install finish carpentry: hang doors, fit trim and base, set casing, and complete final adjustments and caulking for finish quality
• Execute rough carpentry and general framing: erect wall sections, install headers, framing for openings, and temporary bracing as needed
• Read and interpret job plans, cut lists and layout drawings; verify measurements on-site and coordinate changes with leads
• Maintain tools and equipment, keep a safe and clean work area, follow site safety rules and participate in toolbox talks or site-specific training

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in bench carpentry, general finish and rough carpentry, and framing carpentry on commercial or residential projects
• Skilled in accurate measuring and cutting with hand and power tools (saws, routers, nail guns, levels, squares)
• Able to read basic plans and perform layout from drawings and cut lists
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce clean finish work and square framing
• Able to work independently or as part of a crew, take direction from leads, and communicate job progress clearly
• Reliable transportation to Denver-area job sites and the ability to work a typical construction schedule with occasional overtime

Qualifications

• OSHA 10-hour construction safety card or equivalent site safety training preferred
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to job sites
• Ability to pass pre-employment drug screen and background check (site dependent)
• Physical ability to lift, carry and position materials (regularly lifting up to 50 lbs and climbing ladders/scaffolding)
• Proficient English reading skills for understanding plans and safety instructions; bilingual candidates encouraged to apply

What we offer

• Consistent, local work across Denver-area projects and steady schedules on active sites
• Overtime opportunities during peak project phases
• Tool support or tool allowance and company-provided basic PPE on site
• Paid site safety training and opportunities for skill development and cross-training
• Clear advancement path to lead or specialty roles based on performance
