See More Details >>A carpenter is defined as a craftsperson with a skill and experience level greater than a helper or laborer, but less than a Project Superintendent. The carpenter will generally have a smaller tool inventory and will need direction for performing activities beyond basic carpentry skills. Specific Duties: 1. A carpenter is generally used as a second person on a job when needed per the Project Superintendent’s request. The carpenter is responsible for the quality of whatever work he or she is assigned by the Project Superintendent. 2. Carpenters are under the direction and supervision of the Project Superintendent while on a project and will generally work with all Project Superintendents as requested. Lifting heavy loads is a typical function of the carpenter. He or she must be able regularly to lift as much as 80 pounds. 3.

The carpenter will always be training to learn new skills and to handle additional responsibilities. During the training, the carpenter will begin to acquire the major skills and tools needed to become a Project Superintendent. 6. When the need for direction becomes minimal, the carpenter will begin to assume Project Superintendent responsibilities on smaller, less complicated jobs (such as small bathrooms, warranty work, roofing/siding projects). The Production Manager will closely direct and support the coordination of these projects, until such a time as the carpenter is promoted to the position of Project Superintendent. 7.
