Senior Staff Carpenter – Residential Remodeling
Not every great carpenter wants to run the job.
Some enjoy managing schedules, coordinating subcontractors, meeting with clients, and handling the endless details that come with leading a project. Others simply love the craft itself.
If you're the kind of carpenter who takes pride in solving difficult problems, producing outstanding work, and helping the people around you become better carpenters—but have no desire to manage projects—we created this position for you.
At Out of the Woods Construction & Cabinetry, we're looking for a Senior Staff Carpenter to become a cornerstone of our field team.
This isn't a stepping-stone position. It's a career opportunity for an experienced craftsman who wants to spend their days building exceptional work while helping elevate the next generation of carpenters.
Why We Created This Position
Our Lead Carpenters are exceptional craftsmen who also carry the responsibility of leading each project—from client communication and scheduling to coordinating subcontractors, maintaining quality, and keeping every moving part on track.
That's a big responsibility.
We created the Senior Staff Carpenter position to provide our Lead Carpenters with another experienced craftsman they can rely on—someone who can step into the toughest parts of a project, solve complex field challenges, mentor less experienced carpenters, and help maintain the level of craftsmanship Out of the Woods is known for.
We're looking for the kind of carpenter every Lead Carpenter hopes gets assigned to their project.
The kind of person the crew turns to when they're unsure how to approach a difficult detail.
The kind of craftsman who quietly raises the standard of every jobsite they step onto.
What You'll Do
- Perform all phases of residential remodeling with exceptional quality and attention to detail.
- Partner with Lead Carpenters to execute projects efficiently and professionally.
- Take ownership of the most challenging aspects of a project, from complex framing to fine finish work.
- Mentor Apprentice and Staff Carpenters through hands-on instruction, coaching, and leadership by example.
- Help maintain the quality standards and craftsmanship that define Out of the Woods.
- Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and respectful jobsite.
- Treat every client's home with the same care and respect you would your own.
What We're Looking For
- Extensive experience in residential remodeling.
- Strong framing, finish carpentry, cabinet installation, door and window installation, and problem-solving skills.
- A passion for craftsmanship and doing things the right way.
- A patient mentor who enjoys helping others improve.
- Professionalism, reliability, humility, and pride in your work.
- The physical ability to perform all aspects of residential remodeling.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay based on experience.
- 100% company-paid single health insurance.
- 100% company-paid single dental insurance.
- Two weeks paid vacation.
- Six paid holidays.

- $600 annual tool allowance.
- $500 annual education and training allowance.

- Long-term disability insurance.
- Organized jobsites and clear scopes.

- A team with low turnover that genuinely enjoys building great work together.
At Out of the Woods, we believe great craftsmanship is contagious—if you're the kind of carpenter whose presence elevates the people around you, we'd love to meet you.
