About Us

Boston Real Estate Collaborative is a local real estate development and construction company. We're growing our field team and looking for a skilled, versatile carpenter who wants to be part of something local and hands-on.

The Role

You'll be a key member of our field team, supporting a portfolio of 15+ properties across the Boston area. This is a field-first job: roughly 90% of your time will be on-site, and no two days look the same. We need someone who can walk into an unfamiliar situation, figure out what's going on, and fix it.

What You'll Do

• Perform carpentry and general construction and repair work across our properties
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across multiple trades, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and more
• Diagnose problems on the spot and decide what you can fix and what needs a specialist
• Work in occupied buildings and treat tenants with respect, patience, and good communication
• Update job status and communicate with the team using our work order and mobile tools

What We're Looking For

• Carpentry and construction experience, plus working knowledge across multiple trades and disciplines
• A proven troubleshooter who stays calm and curious when the problem isn't obvious
• Comfort with technology (work order apps, texting photos, updating tickets)
• A great attitude and a team-first mindset
• Willingness to be tenant-forward when the situation calls for it
• Eagerness to learn new skills and take on new challenges
• Reliable transportation and your own basic hand tools
• Local to the Boston area

Nice to Have

• Relevant licenses or certifications (e.g., CS, HIC, or trade-specific licenses)
• Experience in development, renovation, or property work
