Framing Leadman / Carpenter (Foreman Advancement Opportunity)

Location: Mount Pleasant, Iowa
Pay: $26.00–$35.00 per hour (based on experience and demonstrated ability)
Employment Type: Full-time, year-round
Travel: Project sites generally within 100 miles of Mount Pleasant; employees are typically home nightly, with occasional overnight travel

Position Summary

Halo Design-Build is seeking an experienced framing carpenter who is ready to begin taking on a leadership role within our framing crew.

The right candidate will join the team as a Framing Leadman, working under the direction of our Framing Foreman. This person should already be a strong, well-rounded carpenter who can read plans, perform layout, direct a small crew, and help maintain quality and productivity on the jobsite.

This position is intended for someone who wants more than another carpenter job. It offers a genuine opportunity to develop the leadership, planning, communication, and crew-management skills required to advance into a Framing Foreman position. Advancement will be based on demonstrated performance, dependability, leadership ability, workmanship, and readiness to accept greater responsibility.

Types of Projects

Our framing team works on a variety of projects, including:

Custom homes
Post-frame buildings
Light commercial projects
Decks and exterior structures
Occasional finish-carpentry work

Initial Leadership Responsibilities

As a Framing Leadman, you will work alongside the crew while beginning to assume responsibility for portions of the team’s daily operation. Responsibilities will include:

Directing a small crew and assigning daily work
Reading and interpreting construction plans
Performing layout and framing calculations
Identifying plan discrepancies or jobsite conflicts before they create delays
Communicating labor progress, material needs, and jobsite concerns to the Framing Foreman
Helping the crew understand daily production goals and priorities
Monitoring workmanship and ensuring work meets Halo’s quality standards
Reinforcing jobsite safety expectations
Training and mentoring less-experienced carpenters
Working productively with the crew while leading by example
Helping maintain an organized, efficient, and professional jobsite
Communicating problems early and participating in solutions

Required Qualifications

Candidates must have:

Strong residential or commercial framing experience
The ability to read and interpret construction plans independently
Proficiency with common framing tools and equipment
The ability to perform layout, measurements, and framing calculations accurately
Previous experience directing or providing day-to-day guidance to other carpenters
A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
The physical ability to perform framing work in varying weather conditions, work at heights, climb ladders, and safely lift and carry construction materials
A willingness to travel to project sites within the company’s service area

The Person We’re Looking For

Technical ability is important, but this position also requires the right approach to leadership. The ideal candidate:

Is dependable and consistently punctual
Maintains high workmanship standards
Takes ownership without requiring constant supervision
Communicates problems early, clearly, and professionally
Is humble, coachable, and willing to continue learning
Patiently teaches less-experienced employees
Works with urgency while protecting safety and quality
Earns the respect of the crew through consistency and example
Accepts accountability and helps hold others accountable
Wants to grow into greater responsibility rather than simply receive a title

Path to Foreman

The Framing Leadman will have the opportunity to advance into a Framing Foreman position after demonstrating the ability to:

Plan and organize work effectively
Lead a crew respectfully and consistently
Maintain Halo’s quality and safety expectations
Communicate labor, material, equipment, and scheduling needs
Recognize and address problems before they affect the project
Train and develop other members of the crew
Balance productivity with quality and jobsite safety
Accept ownership for the crew’s performance and assigned project responsibilities

Promotion is not based on tenure alone. It will be earned through demonstrated leadership, sound judgment, technical ability, communication, and consistent performance.

Compensation and Benefits

Halo Design-Build offers:

Competitive hourly compensation of $26.00–$35.00 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated ability
Full-time, year-round employment
Overtime opportunities during busy periods
Paid time off
Paid holidays
Retirement plan with company match
Tool and clothing allowance
Performance-based bonus opportunities
Advancement potential within a growing construction company

Schedule and Travel

This is primarily a weekday position with regular daytime construction hours. Overtime may be required during busy periods or when project schedules demand it.

Most projects are located within approximately 100 miles of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and employees are generally home each night. Occasional overnight travel may be required depending on project location and schedule.

About Halo Design-Build

Halo Design-Build delivers thoughtfully designed and professionally constructed custom homes, post-frame buildings, and light commercial projects. We value quality workmanship, personal accountability, clear communication, and employees who take pride in both their craft and their team.

We are looking for someone who wants to help build excellent projects, develop other carpenters, and grow into a meaningful leadership role within the company.
