Carpenter

Commercial Service Carpenter

Location: Appleton, WI

Position Type: Full-Time, Year-Round

About the Role:

Wilber Trades Group is partnered with a growing commercial contractor in the Appleton area and we are seeking an experienced Commercial Service Carpenter to join the team!

This is not production framing or standing on an assembly line. The commercial service team keeps local businesses operating, doors latching, walls standing, and facility managers calm. You will handle everything from scheduled maintenance, door/hardware installs, and small remodels to the urgent "can you get here today?" service calls that pop up unexpectedly.

If you are the kind of tradesperson who can walk into an office building, retail space, or industrial facility, spot the issue on the spot, and execute the repair cleanly without needing a committee meeting, you will thrive here.

What You’ll Do:

• Perform commercial service work, structural repairs, and small remodels across office, retail, industrial, and commercial facilities.
• Diagnose building envelope, drywall, trim, and hardware issues quickly and independently on site.
• Install, repair, and adjust commercial doors, frames, closers, and Division 8 hardware.
• Complete metal/wood framing, drywall patching, acoustic ceiling tile fixes, and finish trim work with craftsman-level quality.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with facility managers, building owners, and tenants.
• Maintain a clean, organized service vehicle and work area to ensure efficient daily calls.

What You Bring:

• Proven background in commercial carpentry, framing, doors/hardware, drywall, trim, and general facility maintenance.
• Sharp problem-solving ability to troubleshoot issues when a "quick fix" turns out to be complex.
• Ability to work independently in the field without needing constant supervision.
• Grounded, respectful demeanor when working around active commercial tenants.
• Valid driver’s license, good driving record, and reliable attendance.

What’s Offered:

• Competitive Hourly Wage: $26.00 - $40.00 / hour (commensurate with commercial trade experience, diagnostic skills, and leadership ability)
• Free health and dental plan for employee coverage only.
• 401(k) plan with company matching.
• Paid holidays, PTO, and annual incentive bonuses.
• Local Fox Valley work with zero seasonal layoffs or long-distance travel.
• Direct leadership support, minimal corporate red tape, and a team that genuinely respects the craft.
