Project Manager / Lead Carpenter
Boone, NC
Job Role:
Our new venture is seeking a talented Project Manager/Lead Carpenter who's comfortable both behind the computer and also behind the tools. This candidate would utilize technology on a daily basis to plan projects, manage budgets, and coordinate teams—but would also bring their skills in carpentry to the jobsite, being perfectly okay with getting a little dirt under their nails when necessary. To be clear—this is NOT an office job.
In this position, you will:
Lead residential construction projects end-to-end, including hands-on tasks as required.
Need to be comfortable working with plans, organizing tasks, and estimating budgets.
Determine required equipment, materials, manpower, and participate in on-ground construction activities.
Implement job site safety and ensure compliance with building standards.
Effective at multitasking to handle project management and skilled carpentry tasks.
Build positive relationships with clients, contractors, and other stakeholders.
Recruit and provide guidance to subcontractors while executing hands-on work alongside when required.
Problem solve onsite, providing necessary hands-on input to maintain schedules and quality.
Perform skilled carpentry and other manual skills as necessary on site.
Qualifications:
An inquisitive mind that is always searching for new and exciting solutions.
A positive outlook and attitude.
Extensive experience in construction with a strong carpentry background. Specific experience in mountainous environments is a huge plus.
Broad knowledge of construction procedures and project management principles.
Comprehensive understanding of safety and building regulations.
Outstanding organizational and time-management skills.
Effective leadership, alongside hands-on, practical skills.
A degree or relevant qualification in construction management, architecture, or related field is preferred. However, vast hands-on experience can substitute for formal education.
An appreciation of authenticity and integrity of enduring craftsmanship.
Benefits:
4 weeks paid vacation per year
9 paid holidays
Employer-sponsored health benefits and group dental/vision plans
Employer-matched 401k retirement plan
Profit-sharing opportunities
Mileage reimbursement for travel during the workday
Daily collaboration with builders, architects, and millworkers
Options to foster professional growth
Work alongside an optimistic, creative, and collaborative team
We're confident that this role will appeal to a rare breed of construction professionals: those who are leadership material with strong management skills, yet aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves, pick up the tools, and dig into the work firsthand.
