Seattle Carpenter Position

Our design/build company is looking for a lead carpenter and a carpenter. If you like putting in 40 hrs M-TH and having 3 days off a week to ride some of the best dirt and deepest snow in the country this is the job for you. We are a hard working group that is always busy yet takes our business and play time seriously. We will pay very competitively for the right person. Our ideal candidate has 3-5yrs of carpentry experience, is self motivated, a quick learner, is looking to stick around for a while, wants a place to grow professionally, would like the opportunity to lead, can set a good skin track, and loves riding their bike down anything steep, fast, or flowy (the last two are not pre-requisites but do help your chances). We work predominantly in the north end of Seattle and our jobs range from kitchen and bath remods to full gut renovations and major additions. Hrs are 7:30-5:30 M-TH with 1/2hr paid for lunch. If you have a job and want more days off a week or more pay get in touch, we are happy to cherry pick the right person. PM me if interested and I'll connect through email. I'll expect a resume and coverletter giving a little background about yourself, your goals, and anything else you feel is pertinent.

Thanks ac. En route to Bellingham. Sounds like a rad opportunity for sure!

Damn...we lost a laborer to b'ham this spring.. Great place

Bump....

Bump. I love working there!

400 views, really no one?

Bump for the best job posting I've ever seen. Happily employed here, but somebody will score.

Getting to north Seattle is a problem these days

That's a dam good job description too.

We are still looking......

Bump..

Now we are looking for 2 carpenters........anyone?

Nope, one of our guys is heading back to Boston. And still can use the original one we were looking for.

Have any projects east of Seattle?

Not farther than Mercer Island and Bellevue.

Lead carpenter, carpenter, and laborer positions still up for grabs. We have a lot of work on the books and filling up for spring as well.

Bump. Winter is coming. You need 40hrs and 3days off a week. Still looking to fill the three positions.

Lead carpenter position still open.

shit, someone could have trained into this job by now

Typical architect. No respect for the carpentry trade. That does sound like a great job. Round here, we have a shortage of skilled carpenters. I pay my lead guy $30.

What pay for laborers?

i almost went back to qualify it, but i'll take my lumps

It's alright. Just spec enough Simpson products and the wood butcher almost doesn't need to know what they are doing. Steel and teco nails hold up the house anyway, right?

i had a structural engineer in NY whose english wasn't the best
she said," i do the structure; you do the decoration"


maybe her english was better than i thought? :)

I'm sure you can draw a real pretty picture of a house. I've seen structurals from job shops in China. Honestly, your profession has an identity crisis as you do everything. The range of skill sets is immense.

Our framers were $45/hr and GC was $55/hr on our remodel in North Seattle last year. Not cheap. They probably cost more this year as anyone with skill has too much work.

Depends on the guy and experience. Guys who know how to work a broom only gets 16, some experience gets a few bucks more.

See the first post for position and company description.

Bump.....for a laborer position... see the first post for company description.

Well, the meeting room looks rad. Doesn't look completely familiar to me, but I'm going to guess top 0' the Cascadian?

I'll let the carpenter's I know about this. Might know a good candidate, but not sure if he wants to commute that far. Sultan area.

Definitely hard finding help in all the trades right now. Our company of 30 could use 20 more. Can't find anyone, and we get 40+$ for shooting silicone all day.

Dude I was working iron with in seattle last winter was living in Sultan. Horrible commute.

Heh.. I live past gold bar, I got 10 minutes on em

One way or another, if you want to work in seattle, and ski at Stevens, you are going to do that commute. Far easier at 5 am, then at 5pm on a Saturday eve.;)
