We are ThinkMakeBuild, a Maryland-based custom builder with an unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction. Our projects come through a trusted network of architects and owners who appreciate our attention to detail and the way we bring their visions to life. We specialize in high-end custom homes, both modern and traditional, and we’re looking for a Lead Carpenter / Site Supervisor who shares our passion for building at the highest level. What We’re Looking For • Experience matters. You should have 5+ years of residential construction experience in a supervisory role. • Age isn’t a factor. We know 30-year-olds who can outwork a 60-year-old and vice versa. What matters is knowledge, skill, and the drive to get the job done right. • You’re hands-on. While you won’t be framing an entire house solo, you should be comfortable performing and overseeing basic carpentry tasks as needed. • You live and breathe custom residential construction. The homes we build have exacting details and unique materials, requiring someone who can learn quickly, problem-solve on the fly, and make smart decisions. • You have an eye for detail. If something isn’t plumb, level, tight, or per plan, you fix it. If it doesn’t look right, you do it again. And yes, we’ll get paid for it (usually). • You ask smart questions. We love questions—as long as they’re not the same one seven times in a row. Every detail has a purpose, and we’d rather you ask than assume. • You keep a job site spotless. A clean, organized site is a reflection of our standards, and we take it seriously. • You embrace technology. You’ll be expected to check emails, review plans digitally, and use our project management software. If you know how to send a well-written text or email, you’re already ahead of the game. • You can read construction drawings and specifications. Extracting information, clarifying details, and communicating with architects, designers, and engineers is part of the job. • You’re organized. Keeping track of project information, invoices, and expenses is key, and you’ll work closely with the Project Manager to stay on top of it all. • You’re a leader. Coordinating subcontractors, pushing schedules forward, and maintaining high-quality standards all fall under your role. You should be comfortable directing a team and holding people accountable. • You love what you do. This company is built by people who are passionate about their craft. You should be too. A Few Additional Notes • Patience and collaboration are essential. We never consider an architect’s or client’s request a burden. • Saturdays and overtime happen. If the project demands it, we get it done. • Professionalism is key. A clean, professional appearance is expected. Smoking on-site is discouraged. • This position is for job sites in Virginia Beach, VA and surrounding areas. Next Steps If this sounds like you, send us your resume along with anything else that helps us get to know you better. Looking forward to meeting our next great builder.
