Construction Carpenter - Commercial & Residential Projects

Hayes Construction Services Corp, Buffalo, NY, United States


Job Description

Job Description

Why This Role Stands Out: Designed for a carpenter with around 5 years of experience, this role delivers variety, not repetition. You'll work across commercial and residential projects, build skills across multiple scopes, and have a clear path of potential progression to Lead Carpenter, Foreman, or Superintendent. Projects stay within an approximate hour of Buffalo, with steady work and a strong pipeline. You'll join a Buffalo-based, hands on team that values quality craftsmanship, dependability and integrity. If you want variety, hands-on work culture, and potential for growth- this role is for you.

Responsibilities: - Perform skilled carpentry including wood and metal stud framing - Complete finish carpentry and trim work - Install doors, frames, and hardware - Hang and finish drywall; basic painting as needed - Install acoustical ceilings - Support occasional concrete and masonry work - Read and work from drawings and specifications - Assist across multiple trades to support project completion

Key Qualifications: - 5+ years of experience in the construction industry - Strong carpentry skills across rough and finish work - Ability to read and understand construction drawings (preferred) - Willingness to perform a wide range of construction tasks - Reliable, safety minded, and takes pride in workmanship - Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required - Ability to travel up to 1 hour from Buffalo for job sites

Pay, Benefits, and Perks: - $20-$30 per hour, based on experience - PTO, paid holidays, health insurance with minimal waiting period, 401(k), profit sharing, and life insurance - Tool allowance for field crew (as qualified) - Rooftop staff space (in development) - Supportive, team-oriented work environment - Internal advancement opportunities - Company social events, wellness challenges, and team activities
