Lead Carpenter

We are looking for a capable and skilled carpenter to join our team. NBI specializes in high-end remodeling — transforming homes with craftsmanship and care. We are seeking a lead carpenter who is as passionate about teaching and mentoring as they are about fine craftsmanship. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in the high-end remodel environment, maintains impeccable standards, and takes pride in developing the next generation of skilled carpenters.

• Lead daily operations on-site for high-end residential remodeling projects, ensuring craftsmanship, quality, and efficiency.
• Mentor and train newer carpenters — teaching techniques, modeling professionalism, and fostering a culture of learning.
• Apply a strong understanding of building science principles to every phase of the remodel — moisture management, air sealing, insulation, and system integration.
• Plan and sequence work to align with project schedules and budgets while maintaining attention to fine detail.
• Coordinate with designers, project managers, and homeowners to ensure clarity and excellence in communication.
• Prioritize in-person and phone communication — building relationships through conversation, not just messages.
• Maintain a meticulously organized, safe, and professional jobsite.
• Write clear job logs, material lists, and progress updates with attention to detail and tone.

• 7+ years of professional carpentry experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or lead carpenter role within high-end residential remodeling.
• Proven ability to train, coach, and inspire developing carpenters and apprentices.
• Strong understanding of building science and how it applies to remodels in existing structures.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills — personable, articulate, and approachable.
• High level of craftsmanship with a commitment to precision, finish quality, and client satisfaction.
• Organized, schedule-driven, and detail-oriented.
• Excellent written communication for documentation and reporting.
