Full Job Description

Acton ADU – Campbell, CA
Full-Time | Growth Opportunity

Build High-Performance Housing. Grow Into Site Leadership.

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
Train and mentor junior team members

This is a leadership development role.
High performers will move into a Superintendent position.

What We Expect

We hire experienced specialists, not self-taught generalists.

Minimum qualifications:

Journeyman-level residential construction experience
Strong plan reading and layout skills
Familiarity with CA Residential Building Code
Solid math skills
Experience working within structured systems (not chaotic jobsites)
Clear, professional communication

You must be:

Self-motivated (we do not micromanage)
Organized and process-oriented
Results-driven (good and on time beats perfect and late)
Candid and accountable
Customer-focused
Comfortable using software tools for tracking work

Our Culture (Behavior Matters Here)

At Acton ADU, culture = behavior.

We hire people who:

Make a positive impact

Empower teammates

Encourage innovation

Measure what matters

Make measurable progress

Are candid and accountable

Advocate for the customer

Help people thrive

If you:

Need constant supervision
Avoid accountability
Resist structured systems
Struggle with urgency

This role will not be a fit.

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

Competitive pay (DOE)
Medical + Dental Insurance
401(k) with company match
Generous PTO
Clear growth path into Superintendent
High-performance, growth-minded environment

Why Join Acton ADU?

We are not a stagnant construction company.

We are building:

A scalable, system-driven organization
A stunning ADU product library
A culture of accountability and growth

If you want to be part of a company scaling aggressively—and grow with it—this is your opportunity.

Equal Opportunity Employer

Acton ADU is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We hire based on skill, character, and performance.
