I-5 Design Build is looking for a skilled Commercial Finish Carpenter / Traveling Installer to join our installation team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has developed a strong foundation in commercial carpentry or specialty installation and is ready to take the next step in their career. Our installers work on unique, high-end projects throughout the country, including casinos, resorts, restaurants, and entertainment environments.

This is not repetitive production carpentry. Our projects involve a wide variety of custom architectural and decorative elements, and we're looking for someone who enjoys figuring out how things go together, takes pride in quality work, and wants to continue developing their skills.

Joining Our Team

We're looking for someone who already knows how to work with their hands but still wants to learn.

The right person takes pride in craftsmanship, works hard without needing constant supervision, can think through a problem in the field, and is interested in becoming a well-rounded installer rather than staying limited to one trade.

If you're the type of person who wants to be challenged, develop new skills, travel the country, and build a career—not just work another construction job—you'll fit in well here.

We're looking for someone who is dependable, coachable, works hard without needing constant supervision, and is committed to producing work they can be proud of. In return, we'll invest in your development and give you the opportunity to grow into one of the best installers in the industry.

For someone with the right ability and attitude, there is significant opportunity to grow into a senior installer or installation lead.

  • 3 years of commercial carpentry, finish carpentry, millwork, or related installation experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability
  • Ability to read a tape accurately and understand construction drawings

  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a traveling team
  • Dependable, professional, and willing to learn new installation methods
  • Ability to travel extensively and work extended project schedules when required
  • Valid driver's license and good driving record
  • Experience with architectural millwork, solid-surface or stone countertops, signage, architectural metals, glazing, specialty fixtures, or commercial interiors is a plus.

Benefits

  • Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, and short and long-term disability benefits
  • Retirement: 401k retirement plan
  • Paid Time Off: One week of PTO for eligible employees who have completed one year of employment, two weeks of PTO after completion of two to four years of employment, and three weeks of PTO after completion of five or more years of employment.
