Carpenter Foreman

Home Enterprises Inc. Careers, Fort Wayne, IN, United States


Carpenter Forman / Future Operations Lead - We are aggressively scaling, Build With Us

The Lead:
Most remodeling companies are chaotic. At Home Enterprises Inc., we are different. We are a high-growth residential contractor in Fort Wayne with a clear vision: To triple our business over the next 4 years. We don’t just need a guy who can swing a hammer; we need a leader who wants to own the field operations and grow into a management role as we expand.
If you are a seasoned pro tired of "big company" red tape and want a direct seat at the table with ownership, this is your move.
What We Demand (The Standard):
Extreme Ownership:

You don't just "manage" a crew; you own the outcome. No excuses.
Professionalism:

You show up on time, every time, looking and acting like a pro. (If you can't represent our brand to a high-end client, don't apply.)
Elite Craftsmanship:

5+ years of "doing it right the first time" experience.
Leadership:

You don't just give orders; you mentor the next generation of tradesmen.

TO APPLY:

Do not just hit the apply button. Include a brief message detailing the most complex project you've managed and why you are the right person to lead our field operations.

If you cannot follow these instructions, your application will not be considered.
Compensation:

$35 - $45 hourly

Responsibilities:

What You’ll Execute
Command the Site:

Lead and manage a 3–4 person crew. You are responsible for their output, their safety, and their discipline
Drive the Schedule:

Run morning huddles and dictate daily tasks. "On schedule" is the minimum; ahead of schedule is the goal
Logistical Ownership:

Coordinate materials and subcontractors. You anticipate shortages and delays before they happen
Lead from the Front:

Perform and oversee high-level carpentry (framing, finishing, drywall, roofing, flooring). You set the standard for craftsmanship
Zero-Defect Quality Control:

Enforce HEI standards and safety protocols every second you are on site. You do not walk past a mistake
Radical Communication:

Provide clear, direct updates to management and clients. We operate on facts, not surprises
Force Multiplication:

Mentor your crew. You don't just delegate tasks; you build the people around you into elite carpenters and disciplined professionals. You are responsible for raising the standard of the entire team

Qualifications:

What We’re Looking For (The Standard)
5+ Years of Mastery:

You’ve mastered framing, finish work, and everything in between. You don't just know how to build; you know how to build efficiently

Technical Precision:

Advanced proficiency with tools and materials. Your math is exact, and your measurements are final
Local & Mobile:

You are based in Northeast Indiana and possess a valid driver’s license
Professional Baseline:

High school diploma or GED

The Opportunity
Compensation:

$35–$45/hr. We pay for elite performance and execution, not just for showing up
The Path:

This isn't a dead-end role. We are scaling, and this position is the direct pipeline to the Operations Manager. We are hiring the person who will eventually run the field
The Package:

Roth Simple IRA (Match), PTO, HRA Healthcare support, and the stability of year-round work

Why People Stay at HEI (Our Core Values)

We do what we say, every time
