Full Job Description

Job description

Hicks Enterprise is seeking a seasoned, hands-on Senior Carpenter to join our Manufactured Home Installation (MHI) team. This is a high-responsibility role designed for a construction professional who can lead crews, manage projects from planning to final inspection, and take total ownership of field operations. This is not an entry-level position.

Compensation & Perks

W2 Employment: Stable, year-round company position (not 1099 contract work).
Heavy Overtime: Standard 12-hour shifts mean consistent, lucrative overtime hours paid at 1.5x your base hourly rate.
Company Assets: Fully equipped company trucks, trailers, and machinery provided for all field travel and jobsite tasks.

Logistical Requirements

Commute: Because crews travel together in company vehicles, candidates must live within approximately 15 minutes of our Brownstown reporting location.
Schedule: Expect long, physically demanding field days (roughly 12 hours) in varying Michigan weather conditions.

Core Responsibilities

Carpentry & Assembly: Perform high-quality framing, structural leveling, roofing, siding, interior/exterior finish work, and deck/porch construction.
Crew Leadership: Plan daily sequencing, delegate work by skill level, enforce safety, and actively train junior installers.
Project Management: Read blueprints and foundation layouts, solve unexpected site issues, track QC records/photos, and coordinate with inspectors and suppliers.
Asset Stewardship: Set the jobsite standard for the safe operation, cleaning, pre/post inspection, and secure loading of company trucks, trailers, and machinery.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Significant background in professional residential carpentry and structural framing.
Proven experience leading construction crews as a foreman, lead carpenter, or supervisor.
Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints, construction drawings, measurements, layouts, and elevations accurately.
Strong knowledge of residential construction methods, materials, and building practices.
Sharp field problem-solving skills and the ability to identify workmanship issues and determine appropriate solutions.
Safe and competent use of construction tools and equipment, with a valid driver's license and safe driving record.

Preferred (But Not Required) Experience

Manufactured or modular home installation.
Experience hauling trailers and operating light construction machinery.
Guiding residential projects through final municipal inspections.
Experience with CAD software and the ability to create, review, or modify construction drawings and plans.

Application Question(s):

How many years have you worked professionally in residential construction or remodeling?
Which areas can you perform independently: framing, doors/windows, trim/finish carpentry, cabinetry, drywall, flooring, siding, decks, repairs, etc.?
Describe a remodeling project you completed largely independently.
Can you read plans, measurements, and material takeoffs?
What tools and equipment are you experienced using?
Have you supervised or directed helpers or less-experienced tradespeople?
Are you comfortable being given a scope of work and completing it without continuous supervision?
Do you have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation?

Work Location: In person

Pay: $30.00 - $35.00 per hour
