Skilled Carpenter / Construction Technician

Highmark Construction Group
Starting Pay: $25.00/hour with rapid advancement potential to $30.00/hour
Full-Time

Highmark Construction Group is looking for an experienced construction professional who wants to build a long-term career in the construction industry.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who already understands residential construction, knows how to work with tools, can produce quality work without constant supervision, and takes pride in doing things correctly.

We perform residential remodeling, basement finishing, additions, carpentry, painting, and other construction projects. The right person will be exposed to a wide variety of work and will have an opportunity to grow as the company grows.

What You'll Be Doing

Typical responsibilities include:

• Rough carpentry and framing
• Finish carpentry and trim work
• Interior and exterior painting
• Staining and finishing
• Insulation installation
• Caulking and sealing
• Basic flooring installation
• Installation of doors, trim, hardware, and other building components
• Jobsite preparation and protection
• Material handling and organization
• Loading and unloading trucks and trailers
• Picking up and delivering construction materials
• Maintaining clean, professional jobsites
• Assisting with demolition and project preparation
• Working alongside project managers, other employees, and subcontractors
• Completing punch-list and finish work

Because we are a remodeling and construction company, you must be comfortable doing different types of work rather than performing one trade every day.

What We're Looking For

Construction experience is required.

The ideal candidate:

• Has solid residential construction experience
• Is proficient with common hand and power tools
• Understands basic residential construction methods
• Can perform quality carpentry and finish work
• Can follow plans, measurements, scopes of work, and instructions
• Can work independently when assigned a task
• Pays attention to details
• Shows up reliably and on time
• Keeps tools, materials, and jobsites organized
• Is comfortable working indoors and outdoors
• Can safely lift and move construction materials
• Is willing to learn and improve
• Takes responsibility for the quality of their work
• Has a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Is looking for a career in construction—not just a temporary job

Compensation

Starting pay: $25.00/hour

We are willing to move the right person toward $30.00/hour quickly once they demonstrate that they can consistently handle the level of work and responsibility we need.

We don't want to hold a strong employee at an entry wage. Increased compensation will be based on demonstrated ability, reliability, productivity, quality of work, and the amount of responsibility you can handle.

Benefits

• Paid vacation
• Paid time off
• Full-time employment
• Opportunities for advancement
• Variety of residential construction work
• Opportunity to develop additional construction skills
• Growing company with opportunities for increased responsibility and compensation

Who Will Do Well Here

You'll probably enjoy this position if you are the type of person who can be given a project, understand what needs to happen, and get it done correctly without someone standing over you all day.

We value craftsmanship, reliability, professionalism, productivity, and people who take ownership of their work.

If you have real construction experience and are looking for a company where your skills and performance can lead to greater responsibility and better pay, we'd like to hear from you.

To apply, submit your resume through Indeed and include a brief description of your residential construction experience and the types of work you are most experienced performing.
