Lead Carpenter/Superintendent
About the Company
A well-established design-build firm specializing in high-end residential renovations, additions, and full home transformations throughout MetroWest Boston.
Small, tight-knit team. Steady pipeline of work. Reputation built on craftsmanship, organization, and doing things the right way.
The Role
Seeking a Lead Carpenter who takes ownership of the job site — someone who can build at a high level, run a clean operation, and represent the company well with clients.
This is a working lead role. You’ll be hands-on while also managing the day-to-day flow of one to two active projects.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Perform high-level carpentry — framing through finish, including cabinetry and detailed work
- Run job sites day-to-day: scheduling, coordination, and keeping things moving
- Lead carpenters, helpers, and subcontractors on site
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized job site (no chaos, no excuses)
- Review plans, specs, and scope — and catch issues before they become problems
- Handle material takeoffs and coordinate deliveries
- Track progress against budget and communicate updates to the Production Manager
- Interact with homeowners professionally — you’re the face of the job
What They’re Looking For
- ~10+ years of hands-on carpentry experience
- Strong in both framing and high-end finish work
- Experience running residential remodeling projects (not just working on them)
- Ability to lead a small team and keep subs aligned
- Detail-oriented — clean lines, tight joints, no shortcuts
- Organized, dependable, and proactive
- Comfortable communicating with clients, inspectors, and team members
- Physically capable of the work (lifting, overhead work, etc.)
Why This Role Is Worth a Look
- High-end residential work — not production, not repetitive
- Small team where your work actually matters
- Jobs are run with structure and professionalism
- Consistent, year-round pipeline
- Opportunity to take real ownership of projects
