We are looking for a capable and skilled carpenter to join our team. NBI specializes in high-end remodeling - transforming homes with craftsmanship and care.

This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in the high-end remodel environment, maintains impeccable standards, and takes pride in developing the next generation of skilled carpenters. You'll oversee daily site operations, guide other carpenters, and ensure that each project meets our high standards for quality, performance, and client experience.

  • Plan and sequence work to align with project schedules and budgets while maintaining attention to fine detail.
  • Coordinate with designers, project managers, and homeowners to ensure clarity and excellence in communication.
  • Prioritize in-person and phone communication — building relationships through conversation, not just messages.
  • Maintain a meticulously organized, safe, and professional jobsite.
  • Write clear job logs, material lists, and progress updates with attention to detail and tone.

Qualifications:
  • 7+ years of professional carpentry experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or lead carpenter role within high-end residential remodeling .
