Why Character Matters We've learned that the best homes come from the best teams. That's why we prioritize character in everyone we hire - people who are humble, hungry, and smart, who take initiative and care about the quality of their work. We're looking for self-starters who want to be part of something bigger than just a job. What Makes Us Different: We're a team that genuinely cares about each other - with regular social events and gatherings where office and field teams connect. Our people grow, because we expose them to all aspects of construction, from foundation to finish. It's not monotonous work, and we back each other up both professionally and personally. We value integrity, continuous learning, teamwork, excellence, and making sure our people feel appreciated and celebrated. The Role: We're seeking a carpenter with solid foundational skills and the right character to join our team building custom homes, substantial remodels, and multifamily projects. We believe skills can be taught, but character cannot. What We're Looking For: Someone who is humble (team-first, willing to learn), hungry (self-motivated, goes above and beyond), and smart (good with people, learns from feedback). Most importantly, we want someone with integrity who does the right thing even when no one is watching, brings positive energy to challenges, and wants to be part of something bigger than just a job.
