Carpenter

Thayer Design Build is growing, and we’re looking for another great person to join our field team.
We care about carpentry skills, but we care even more about character.
We’re looking for someone who works hard, takes pride in what they do, treats people well, communicates clearly, and wants to be part of a strong team. You might be a capable carpenter who is still developing your skills, or you might be an experienced Lead Carpenter who can take ownership of complex residential remodeling work.
If you have the right attitude, work ethic, and character, we want to hear from you.
About the Role
Our carpenters work on high-quality residential remodeling projects throughout Corvallis, Albany, Philomath, and the surrounding area.
Depending on your experience, your responsibilities may include:
- Site protection and demolition
- Framing, blocking, headers, and structural modifications
- Installing windows, doors, siding, and exterior finishes
- Cabinetry, trim, millwork, and finish carpentry
- Punch-list and detail work
- Material handling and jobsite logistics
- Maintaining clean, safe, professional jobsites
- Communicating respectfully with homeowners, subcontractors, and teammates
- Planning work, solving problems, and helping projects stay on schedule
For more experienced candidates, there may also be opportunities to lead portions of projects, coordinate subcontractors, manage day-to-day jobsite activities, and take on greater project responsibility.
Who We’re Looking For
The right person is someone who:
- Shows up consistently and works hard
- Takes pride in doing things correctly
- Has high integrity and does what they say they will do
- Treats clients and coworkers with respect
- Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do
- Can receive feedback without ego
- Wants to continue learning and improving
- Keeps a clean and organized jobsite
- Communicates when there is a problem instead of hiding it
- Enjoys being part of a team that expects a lot from one another
Skill matters. Character matters more.
If you are an exceptional carpenter, we have room for you to take significant responsibility.
If you are a solid carpenter who still has things to learn but brings exceptional effort, reliability, and character, we want to hear from you too.
Experience
We’re open to different experience levels.
Ideally, you have:
- 3+ years of residential construction or carpentry experience
- Experience with both rough and finish carpentry
- Your own basic carpentry tools
- A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- A solid employment history and professional references
- The ability to perform physically demanding construction work throughout the day
Extensive remodeling or Lead Carpenter experience is a major plus, but it is not required for the right person.
What We Offer
- $22-$38/hour depending on experience and ability
- Full-time, year-round work
- Opportunities for advancement and greater responsibility
- Profit-sharing bonus program
- Paid holidays, vacation, and sick time
- Health, vision, dental, and life insurance
- 401(k) with employer matching
- Professional development and training
- Company vehicle opportunities for applicable positions
- Regular team events and appreciation
- A stable company with organized projects and a strong backlog of work
