Residential Carpenter (Multi-Trade)
Job Description
Build Rite Construction is seeking an experienced Residential Carpenter (Multi-Trade) to join our team. We specialize in custom homes, additions, renovations, and high-quality residential construction throughout Southwest Michigan.
We’re looking for a dependable professional who takes pride in quality craftsmanship, enjoys solving problems, and wants to be part of a team that takes pride in building projects the right way—not simply the fastest way.
This is a full-time W-2 position for someone with solid residential construction experience who can work independently, communicate well, and consistently produce quality work with minimal supervision.
If you are looking for “just another construction job,” this position probably isn’t the right fit. If you enjoy seeing a finished project you’re proud of, appreciate high standards, and want to work for a company that values craftsmanship, professionalism, and integrity, we’d like to talk with you.
What You’ll Do
As a Residential Carpenter (Multi-Trade), you’ll work on a variety of residential projects including custom homes, additions, renovations, and repairs. You’ll be expected to perform quality work with minimal supervision while contributing to a team that values professionalism, craftsmanship, and accountability.
Responsibilities include:
