Acton ADU is one of Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing ADU design-build firms. Our mission is simple:

Help solve California’s housing crisis by building exceptional backyard homes that strengthen families for generations.

Through our Family Integrity Planning approach, we don’t just build structures,we help homeowners create long-term housing solutions for aging parents, returning adult children, rental income, and wealth preservation.

We are hiring a Lead Carpenter on a Superintendent track, someone who wants ownership, growth, and leadership.

If you’re looking for a small, casual crew with no systems, this isn’t it. If you want to build meaningful projects inside a disciplined, high-performance company—keep reading.

The Role:

You will:

Lead carpentry execution on ADU projects.
Help supervise 1–3 active job sites.
Coordinate subcontractors and internal labor.
Perform quality control inspections.
Maintain clean, organized, safe jobsites.
Order lumber and standard materials.
Complete daily logs and administrative tracking.
Communicate clearly with PMs, inspectors, subs, and homeowners.

This is a leadership development role.

Are candid and accountable.
Advocate for the customer.
Help people thrive.

If you:

Need constant supervision.
Avoid accountability.

What Success Looks Like:

Within 6–12 months:

You are independently leading site execution.
Your projects are clean, organized, and on schedule.
Subcontractors respect your leadership.
You proactively solve problems.
You are developing toward full Superintendent responsibility.

Compensation & Benefits:

About Acton ADU:

Stan Acton has been a builder since he was 10 years old. It began the day he broke his father’s wooden mallet. The mallet had been crafted by Stan’s father when he was a kid, on his own father’s Shopsmith lathe. Stan was devastated and rushed to grab a piece of firewood. He carefully took the wood, placed it on his father’s Shopsmith-and in that moment, his passion for carpentry was born.Today Acton Construction is a Design-Build company with enthusiasm for crafting beautiful homes that are functional, lasting, and charming. Acton Construction thrives through established processes and utilizing expertise to provide customers with certainty, transparency, and value-always. This is Acton’s legacy.
