Job description
American Masonry Supply is a masonry/cement based product used on commercial and residential structures to provide ornamentation and uniqueness at entryways and other focal points of a building. The product is produced in molds. Our product is sold throughout the United States.
Carpenter – Architectural Form Builder (Shop-Based)
Shape the Structures Behind the Design
Do you take pride in your carpentry skills? Enjoy solving challenges with your hands and your head? At American Masonry Supply we don’t just make products — we build the forms that give shape to architectural details across commercial and residential projects throughout the Southwest.
You’ll work year-round in a stable, well-equipped shop, honing your carpentry skills on a wide variety of projects — from clean-lined panels to intricate architectural features. This is a full-time, hands-on position where skilled carpentry meets craftsmanship — the kind of work that builds lasting structures and sharpens your trade.
What You’ll Be Trained to Do as a Carpenter / Form Builder
- Build custom wood and MDO molds that shape architectural precast and GFRC components
- Translate shop drawings and plans into accurate, durable formwork
- Work with wood, MDO, and standard carpenter’s shop tools (table saw, miter saw, jig saw, routers, nail guns, etc.)
- Reinforce and seal molds for repeated use in production
- Work closely with production to ensure on-time, accurate form delivery
- Develop specialized skills in mold layout, assembly, and finishing through on-the-job training
What We’re Looking For
- Solid hands-on carpentry and building skills — fabrication, set building, millwork, or similar backgrounds all translate well
- Ability to read plans and drawings and translate them into clean, accurate builds
- Comfortable working with wood, MDO, and basic shop tools in a safe, precise manner
- Understanding of layout, squaring, and bracing to ensure molds hold up in real-world use
- A practical problem-solver with a focus on quality and consistency
- Pride in building something tangible that becomes part of architectural projects
Why This Role Stands Out
- No job site hopping — work year-round
- Variety and craftsmanship — every build is different, from simple panels to complex architectural features
- Impact — the forms you build become part of permanent structures across the region
- Specialized carpentry work — build precision molds that shape architectural elements, using skills that go beyond typical framing or trim jobs
- Stability and reputation - AMS is part of the Advanced Architectural Stone Group, known for craftsmanship, reliability, and industry leadership
- Growth potential — master a specialized trade with opportunities to advance into lead builder or supervisory roles
- Tangible skill-building — sharpen your carpentry, cabinetmaking, and precision layout skills while learning specialized form-building techniques. This is real, transferable craftsmanship experience that can elevate your career in the trades.
