• Coordinate task-specific crews while providing daily guidance, mentoring, and technical support to Journeyman Carpenter I employees and apprentices.
• Communicate effectively with Carpenter Foremen, Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, and other trades to maintain production schedules and resolve field issues.
• Identify required embeds, anchor bolts, hardware, sleeves, and other embedded items before concrete placement to ensure quality and prevent rework.
• Maintain advanced standards for squaring, leveling, alignment, elevations, and overall craftsmanship throughout all phases of construction.
• Assist with material planning, staging, sequencing, and efficient utilization of labor and equipment.
• Utilize both traditional layout methods and modern technology, including lasers and digital measuring equipment, to verify project accuracy.
• Promote and enforce company safety standards, quality expectations, and proper construction practices.
• Maintain organized work areas and support efficient crew productivity.
• Perform additional duties as assigned by the Carpenter Foreman or Superintendent.

• Demonstrated proficiency in advanced layout, elevations, material planning, and construction drawing interpretation.
• Ability to independently perform complex carpentry tasks with minimal supervision.
• Experience coordinating small crews and mentoring less experienced carpenters while maintaining productivity and quality standards.
• Strong knowledge of concrete formwork systems, embeds, hardware installation, and structural concrete sequencing.
• Proficient in the use of carpenter hand tools, power tools, layout equipment, lasers, and measuring instruments.
