  • Maintain clean, organized, and safe job sites



Requirements

  • 4th Year Carpenter skill level (or equivalent experience)

  • Strong commercial metal framing experience

  • Proficient in drywall hanging and finishing

  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints

  • Reliable transportation

  • Valid driver's license
