Carpenter Foreman

Cherry Brook LLC • Full-time • New Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States • $40 - $50 / hour • 2m ago

Overview

I am looking for an experienced carpenter who ideally has previous experience as a foreman for a position in southern Berkshire County. The business is located in Sandisfield, MA, and most of our work takes place in Sandisfield, New Marlborough, and Great Barrington. I need someone who can work both as a member of a five-person team on large construction jobs and also can take on the responsibility of acting as foreman and overseeing one or two individuals on remodeling jobs. I am a general contractor who is a very engaged employer and I am nearly always onsite working alongside my crew.

Details

Keep track of work items to be performed, job progress, and potentially keep track of working hours of other team members working under you.
Correspond well with me, with my office manager, and occasionally with clients.
Show up for work reliably. I am very flexible with respect to hours worked. If you have kids or other responsibilities, hours worked each day are fairly flexible, but I need to know that I can rely on you to show up every day.
The crew generally works 7-hour days over the winter and 8-10 hour days over the spring and summer, but however you want to fit your hours in is generally ok. If you want to work 4 longer days a week to fulfill your hours for the week, that is fine as long as you will be there when you say you will.
At this point, my employees are subcontractors who carry their own insurance, which costs roughly $100/month, but if that is an issue, I am open to hiring a formal employee on the books. I give good bonuses and I am very flexible with vacation time whenever possible.
If you have a dog, you will almost always be allowed to bring your dog to the jobsite as long as they are well-behaved and I don't have to worry about them interacting with a client badly or running away. There are of course certain circumstances where having a dog onsite is not ok, especially when the jobsite has a lot of traffic or if there is heavy machinery being operated onsite.

Qualifications

Solid background in general construction required, carpentry-specific work experience strongly preferred, but not required.
Ability to learn onsite as applicable.
Experience reading and interpreting construction plans.
OSHA 10-hour certification preferred, but not required.
Experience with estimating/bidding is a strong bonus and could be associated with a pay raise.
General contractor's license would be associated with a pay raise.
Strong communication skills, with respect to corresponding to me, anyone who may be working under you at a job you may be foreman of, my office manager, and sometimes clients.

I am the owner of a small company with a lot of work ahead and this job is not expected to be laid off over winters. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Pay: $40.00 - $50.00 per hour
