Now Hiring: Lead Carpenter

About us: Benjamin & Company is a sustainable custom homes and timber frames company located in Brunswick, Maine. We create simple yet exquisite homes that are well-built, environmentally friendly, and more livable than ever before. Our team works hard, but we have fun and enjoy what we do. While we build exceptional homes from the ground up, our carpentry crew focuses on wood-loving projects and generally leaves the other tasks to the appropriate subcontractors. Our service area is no further than 30 minutes from Brunswick. Positions are long term, not just for a paycheck.

Here at Benjamin & Co. we offer competitive wages, paid holiday and vacation time, retirement, tool allowance, professional development allowance and a health stipend. We are committed to fostering a truly diverse workforce that is inclusive of everyone. Individuals of all backgrounds (people of color, women, and people in the LGBTQ+ community) are encouraged to apply.

About the job: Benjamin & Company is looking for a strategic and operationally savvy Lead Carpenter to take responsibility for the running of our residential new construction projects, where your professionalism and initiative will be welcomed.

The Lead Carpenter is the point person on the jobsite, managing and directing tasks of all crew members and subcontractors to ensure efficiency and productivity. The role of the Lead Carpenter is to provide on-site support to ensure that the project is executed in line with the agreed schedule and budget.

Candidates need to have significant carpentry experience, along with the managerial experience and skills to actively manage and supervise all jobsite crew members, including subcontractors. Experience with sustainable materials and high-performance techniques is preferable but not necessary.

The position is a full-time position and has the potential for some remote work as needed but is mostly on-site. Our service area is no further than 30 minutes from Brunswick. We are a non-smoking company.
