Carpenter

Veteran Hiring Solutions

22h • Onsite

About The Position

The mission of this role is to build, set, and strip the concrete form work that keeps a major Atlanta-metro Master Site on schedule. This includes vertical and horizontal forms, gang forms, Johnny-clamp forms, blocking, scaffolding, and temporary framing. The Carpenter is the craftsman whose work the rest of the site depends on. This is a career hire, not a project hire, with the client focused on building long-tenure people. The expectation is to start as a Carpenter, build the craft for two to three years, then run a crew, then run a whole job, and eventually move into a six-figure superintendent seat. The hiring manager prioritizes character first and trainable skills second, valuing a high-performing transitioning service member with the right disposition and a willingness to learn the craft over a technically proficient journeyman Carpenter with a bad attitude.
