Job Description
Wesgrove Homes | Lead Carpenter | Delta, BC
At Wesgrove Homes we build home additions, ADUs, and renovations across Ladner, Tsawwassen, Steveston, and Richmond. These are the communities we live and work in, and we're invested in the neighbourhoods and the people in them. That commitment is a big part of who we are, and we want it to matter to the person we hire too.
We're looking for a Lead Carpenter who takes pride in their work and knows how to run a job site. Retention is our number one goal. We believe the right person is irreplaceable, and we invest in the people who build with us.
The role
You'll run the on-site build, do the hands-on carpentry, and keep projects on schedule, on scope, and on budget. Much of our work is subcontracted, so a big part of this role is coordinating and managing trade partners on-site day-to-day. You may also have a carpenter apprentice to direct and mentor. You'll report to the Project Manager and serve as the point person on-site for quality, safety, and trade coordination.
This role has a future. Ideally you're someone who wants to grow into a Project Manager position over time, and we'll invest in developing the right person to get there. If leading projects start to finish is where you want to end up, this is a path to it.
What you'll do
Run day-to-day site activities and keep work on schedule and on scope
Complete the hands-on carpentry: framing, finishing, layout, concrete, doors and windows, interior and exterior work
Coordinate and manage trade partners on site, tracking progress and quality
Direct and mentor a carpenter apprentice when one is on the crew
Manage site materials and equipment and forecast site needs with the Project Manager
Read plans and flag issues before they cost time on site
Keep every site clean, organized, and safe
