Whether we are stick framing a custom build, flying modular panels with a crane, or connecting full modular sections, you will be the boots-on-the-ground leader ensuring the project is executed flawlessly and safely. If you have a mastery of carpentry, an understanding of overall site management, and the tech-savviness to run documentation from your iPad, we want you on our team.

- Dynamic Carpentry & Assembly: Execute traditional stick framing using both wood and formed steel.
- Modular Construction: Rig, set, and secure modular wall panels using a crane, and expertly set and connect full modular home sections.
- Digital Documentation: Utilize iPhone and iPad field management applications to record daily progress logs, upload site photos, and document work-in-place.
- Cross-Trade Execution: Step in to handle various phases of the build process as project scopes fluctuate.
- Safety Leadership: Maintain a strict, paramount focus on jobsite safety, OSHA compliance, and site cleanliness at all times.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Extensive professional experience in high-level residential carpentry, framing, and general construction.
- Proven ability to manage a jobsite and coordinate effectively with other trades and subcontractors.
- Strong technological proficiency; comfortable using mobile apps for time tracking, photo documentation, and reporting.
- Willingness to travel consistently to jobsites across Northern NJ, Upstate NY, Delaware, and Eastern PA.
- A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record.
- Bonus/Highly Desirable: Significant experience in other construction trades (drywall, roofing, light electrical/plumbing, etc.). Candidates with diverse multi-trade skills will command a higher starting wage.
