Lead Deck Builder

At Legacy Decks, we don’t just build outdoor spaces—we build a legacy. We create stunning, high-end decks and outdoor living spaces that elevate the way families spend time together. We're known for craftsmanship, professionalism, and excellence in service.

We're looking for a Lead Carpenter who’s ready to run a crew in the field and set the standard for quality on every job. This is a hands-on role. You won’t just direct—you’ll be on the tools every day, leading the build from layout and framing through the finish details. Whether it’s reading plans, training the crew around you, or making sure a job passes inspection and looks right when we hand it over, you’ll be the one keeping the work moving and the quality high.

This role is perfect for someone who is detail-oriented, confident working with both people and tools, and ready to lead a crew.

Who You Are

You’re a natural leader who:

• Takes pride in high-quality craftsmanship
• Sees the small things others overlook
• Communicates clearly and confidently
• Enjoys solving problems and supporting the team
• Stays calm when plans shift and pressure rises
• Doesn’t mind getting dirty and loves seeing progress happen on-site
• Wants to grow personally and professionally as a leader in the field

You’re not just looking for a paycheck. You want a long-term opportunity to grow with a company that invests in you, challenges you, and appreciates your work ethic.

At Legacy Decks, we live by our core values—and we hire people who do the same:

• Always Achieve Results – You do what you say you’re going to do.
• Lifelong Learners – You’re coachable, curious, and constantly improving.
• Legacy Focused – You care about long-term impact, not just today’s tasks.
• Impact and Develop People – You lift others up and leave things better than you found them.

If that sounds like how you operate, you’ll thrive here.
