PROJECT MANAGER / LEAD CARPENTER Synergy Design & Construction — Reston, VA | Full-Time | M–F

About the Role

Synergy Design & Construction is an award-winning residential remodeling firm in Reston, VA, and we're looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter / Project Manager to own job sites from demo day through final punch list.

This is a working position — you'll be hands-on in the field while also serving as the primary point of contact for our clients and trade partners. If you take pride in your craft, hate being pushed to cut corners, and want consistent year-round work with a company that actually values quality over speed, this is your opportunity.

We work exclusively in Reston and the immediate surrounding area. No Maryland. No DC.

What You'll Do

Perform hands-on carpentry: framing (floors, walls, decks), finish trim (crown, base, casing), and cabinetry installation
Lead demolition, rough framing, and punch list completion
Supervise and inspect trade partner work across all disciplines — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, drywall, painting, and masonry
Read and execute from detailed architectural plans
Manage job site schedule, budget adherence, and daily documentation
Serve as the on-site point of contact for homeowners throughout each project

What We're Looking For

5+ years of experience in residential remodeling (not new construction)
Strong finish carpentry and cabinetry installation skills
Proven ability to manage a job site independently
Comfortable reading architectural and construction plans
Excellent communication skills — with clients, subcontractors, and an in-house design team
Organized, accountable, and professional
A genuine pride in the finished product

Why Synergy

Local focus — we work only in Reston and nearby NoVA communities
In-house design team — plans and materials are finalized before you arrive on site
Quality over speed — always
Stable, year-round work — no seasonal layoffs, no slowdowns
No weekends — consistent Monday–Friday schedule

Compensation & Benefits

$38–$42/hr based on experience
Health, Dental & Vision Insurance (50% employer contribution)
401(k) with company matching
Paid Time Off & Paid Holidays
Flexible Spending Account
Annual Tool & PPE Allowance
Mileage Reimbursement
40 hours/week, M–F, year-round
