Experienced Carpenter — Custom Homes & High-End Renovations
Greater Newburyport, MA
Windward Shaw • Custom Home Builder
Windward Shaw, a premier custom-home builder in the greater Newburyport area, is hiring an experienced carpenter to join our team on luxury renovations and custom new construction. This is a role for someone who already knows the trade, takes pride in precision, and wants to do their best work on high-end projects where craftsmanship actually matters — alongside a team that holds the same standard.
What You'll Do
- Execute framing, finish carpentry, and everything in between on custom homes and high-end renovations
- Read and work from plans, and solve problems on site as they come up
- Uphold a high standard of quality and detail on every phase of the build
- Help guide and mentor less-experienced crew members
- Coordinate with our project leads, subs, and design partners to keep work on schedule and on-spec
What We're Looking For
- Multiple years of hands-on carpentry experience (framing through finish)
- Strong command of tools, materials, and construction methods
- Ability to read plans and work independently with minimal oversight
- Reliable transportation and your own tools
- Full-time availability, Monday–Friday, 7 AM–4 PM
- Pride in your craft and a genuine eye for detail — you sweat the small stuff
Pay & Schedule
Competitive pay based on experience, with room to grow. Full-time, Monday–Friday. Almost all work is local to the Greater Newburyport area — no long commutes to distant job sites.
