Carpenter Foreman / Future Operations Lead - We are aggressively scaling, Build With Us
The Lead:
Most remodeling companies are chaotic. At Home Enterprises Inc., we are different. We are a high-growth residential contractor in Fort Wayne with a clear vision: To triple our business over the next 4 years. We don’t just need a guy who can swing a hammer; we need a leader who wants to own the field operations and grow into a management role as we expand.
If you are a seasoned pro tired of "big company" red tape and want a direct seat at the table with ownership, this is your move.
What We Demand (The Standard):
-
Extreme Ownership: You don't just "manage" a crew; you own the outcome. No excuses.
-
Professionalism: You show up on time, every time, looking and acting like a pro. (If you can't represent our brand to a high-end client, don't apply.)
-
Elite Craftsmanship: 5+ years of "doing it right the first time" experience.
-
Leadership: You don't just give orders; you mentor the next generation of tradesmen.
Compensation:
$35 - $45 hourly
Responsibilities:
What You’ll Execute
-
Command the Site: Lead and manage a 3–4 person crew. You are responsible for their output, their safety, and their discipline
-
Drive the Schedule: Run morning huddles and dictate daily tasks. "On schedule" is the minimum; ahead of schedule is the goal
-
Logistical Ownership: Coordinate materials and subcontractors. You anticipate shortages and delays before they happen
-
Lead from the Front: Perform and oversee high-level carpentry (framing, finishing, drywall, roofing, flooring). You set the standard for craftsmanship
-
Zero-Defect Quality Control: Enforce HEI standards and safety protocols every second you are on site. You do not walk past a mistake
-
Radical Communication: Provide clear, direct updates to management and clients. We operate on facts, not surprises
-
Force Multiplication: Mentor your crew. You don't just delegate tasks; you build the people around you into elite carpenters and disciplined professionals. You are responsible for raising the standard of the entire team
Qualifications:
What We’re Looking For (The Standard)
-
5+ Years of Mastery: You’ve mastered framing, finish work, and everything in between. You don't just know how to build; you know how to build efficiently
-
Proven Leadership: You have successfully led crews and taken responsibility for the outcome of a job site. You know how to manage personalities and timelines
-
Technical Precision: Advanced proficiency with tools and materials. Your math is exact, and your measurements are final
-
Local & Mobile: You are based in Northeast Indiana and possess a valid driver’s license
-
Professional Baseline: High school diploma or GED
The Opportunity
-
Compensation: $35–$45/hr. We pay for elite performance and execution, not just for showing up
-
The Path: This isn't a dead-end role. We are scaling, and this position is the direct pipeline to the Operations Manager. We are hiring the person who will eventually run the field
-
The Package: Roth Simple IRA (Match), PTO, HRA Healthcare support, and the stability of year-round work
Why People Stay at HEI (Our Core Values)
-
Integrity: We do what we say, every time
-
Reliability: We back our work and honor our commitments
-
Communication: Radical transparency with clients and the team
-
Craftsmanship: We obsess over the details that others ignore
-
