· Strong understanding of building materials, wood products, fasteners, hardware, and basic joinery methods.
· Hands-on understanding of carpentry, finish carpentry, millwork, and construction methods.
· Ability to read and interpret drawings, plans, dimensions, specifications, and field conditions.
· Strong working knowledge of hand tools, power tools, shop equipment, and installation techniques.

· Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing project requirements in a fast-paced environment.
· Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
· Valid driver’s license preferred.

Core Competencies

· Craftsmanship: Delivers precise, high-quality work across fabrication, carpentry, millwork, and installation.
· Adaptability: Adjusts quickly to evolving scopes, site conditions, and one-off project requirements.
