What are the responsibilities and job description for the Carpenter position at Keuler Fine Homes?
For more than 30 years, Keuler Fine Homes has built some of the finest custom homes in the Madison area. We keep our schedule deliberately small, six to eight homes a year, so nothing gets rushed and every detail earns its place. We're looking for a carpenter who wants their work to live up to that.
Tired of pouring real skill into your work and getting treated like just another set of hands? If your standard is woodwork that's clean, precise, and built to outlast you, finished so tight there's nothing left to fix, and you'd rather be surrounded by people who hold that same bar, you're the kind of carpenter we're after.
What you'd be doing
You'd be part of a small crew, working alongside people who take the craft seriously and still know how to have a good day on the job. Depending on the project and the phase, that means:
- From framing punch-outs to installing custom millwork and everything in-between.
- Reading plans and details closely, and flagging it when something on paper isn't going to work in the field
- Keeping a clean, organized, safe site
We don't expect any one person to be the best in the world at all of it. We do expect you to care about getting it right and to keep getting better at it.
You might be a good fit if
- You've got real carpentry experience and a track record you're proud of
- ·The ability to spot work and take initiative without being told every step
- You'd rather do it right than do it twice
- You read a tape to the sixteenth without thinking about it, and you can do the fractions in your head when you have to
- You take feedback as a way to sharpen your work, not as a knock on you
- You show up, you're steady, and people like having you around
- You want to keep learning
What we offer
This is a place where good work gets noticed and good people stick around. We're owner-run and hands-on so the people making decisions actually understand what you do all day.
- Competitive pay based on what you bring to the table
- Steady, year-round work on projects worth being proud of
- A real path forward — we've moved people from the crew into lead and superintendent roles, and we'd rather promote than hire from outside
- A crew that respects the craft and respects each other
- The satisfaction of driving past a house years from now and knowing your hands built it right
