• • Able to read technical drawings and blueprints; strong measuring and cutting skills
• • Supply and maintain personal carpenter tools; work reliably with minimal supervision
• • Physically able to climb ladders/scaffolds, stoop, kneel, and lift/carry up to 50 lbs
• • Union membership where applicable and able to work on commercial construction sites
