Lead Carpenter
We're on a mission to build climate resilient housing at scale. To achieve that we're re-imagining how homes are designed and built: our volumetric modular platform + highly-automated microfactory production result in lower cost, faster delivery, and dramatically reduced embodied carbon. Our first digital factory is based in Andover, MA with a roadmap to scale nationally. We need a seasoned Lead Carpenter who blends top-tier carpentry skill with on-the-floor leadership. You will guide a small crew, take ownership of complex assemblies, ensure our factory and field work meets the precision, quality and speed required for modular manufacturing. You're hands-on, reliable, teachable, and committed to raising the bar. Team Leadership & Workflow
Lead and supervise a crew of 2-4 carpenters/apprentices; set daily priorities, assign tasks, enforce flow and pace. Serve as the on-site technical resource: diagnosing issues, troubleshooting assemblies, mentoring team. Collaborate with Production/Site Manager: integrate your team's work into the schedule, escalate risks, align factory & field execution. Technical Execution
Execute complex carpentry tasks in factory and on job-site: framing, sheathing, installation of windows/doors, structural elements. Read and interpret detailed shop drawings and construction drawings to tight tolerances; ensure team adherence. Conduct quality inspections: verify team output, check alignment, tolerances, finishes ensure durable, factory-grade assemblies. Operate and maintain a full suite of carpentry tools: saws, nailers, routers, power-tools, measuring instruments. Occasionally participate in on-site installation of modular units, oversee final assemblies post delivery. Build housing that truly moves the needle: sustainable, high-quality, affordable. Work at the intersection of construction, manufacturing and design innovation. Join a team that values precision, craft and purpose, not just production. Growth opportunities: as we scale nationally your impact and scope grow.
