About the Role

KOR Builders is a growing construction company specializing in multifamily apartment renovations — full unit turns from the studs out to finished bathrooms and fixtures. We're hiring a skilled carpenter who's ready to grow into a leadership role. You'll run your own work rebuilding units start to finish, and as the company scales, step up to Lead Carpenter/Crew Lead — directing a crew, owning the schedule on your jobs, and serving as our point person in the field.

This is a long-term opportunity for a tradesperson who takes pride in their work, wants more responsibility over time, and is ready to grow with the business.

What You'll Do

Perform rough and finish carpentry through full unit renovations
Install doors and windows in both brick and wood-framed openings
Install and trim out cabinetry to spec
Lay subfloor and install finish flooring
Paint — prep, cut-in, and finish coats
Frame and build out walls, partitions, and structures as needed
Read and work from blueprints, plans, and verbal direction
Measure, cut, and assemble materials accurately
Operate hand and power tools safely (circular saw, nail gun, drill, level, etc.)
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site daily
Assist and help direct other crew members as needed
Follow all OSHA and company safety standards

As you move toward the lead role, responsibilities expand to include running the daily crew, coordinating materials and schedule, communicating with the Operating Manager, and ensuring quality and safety across the job.

What We're Looking For

Required

2+ years of carpentry experience, rough through finish
Hands-on experience with: door and window installation in brick and wood framing, cabinetry, subfloor and finish flooring, painting
Ability to read blueprints and run a task with minimal supervision
Reliable transportation and on-time, every-day dependability
Strong work ethic and attention to detail
Valid driver's license
Own basic hand tools

Preferred (and what moves you toward lead)

Experience directing or mentoring other crew members
Ability to manage a job site's daily flow — materials, sequence, quality
Clear communication and reliability others can build a schedule around

Physical Requirements

Lift and carry up to 50–75 lbs repeatedly throughout the day
Carry materials up and down stairs in multi-story buildings (often no elevator)
Stand, bend, kneel, climb ladders/scaffolding, and work at heights
Tolerate dust, demo debris, and varying jobsite conditions
Sustained physical activity for a full workday

Path to Lead Carpenter / Crew Lead

This role is built to advance. As you demonstrate skill, reliability, and the ability to direct work, you'll move into leading your own crew — with corresponding pay increases and added responsibility. We're looking for someone who wants that path, not just a paycheck. Timeline depends on performance and company growth, typically within [6–18 months].

Year-round work
A defined path into a leadership position as the company grows
