Are you a seasoned lead carpenter or project manager looking for a company that values craftsmanship, clear communication, and genuine teamwork?

If you’re ready to join an organized, relationship-focused team that takes pride in delivering beautiful residential remodels across the mid-Willamette Valley, you’ll feel right at home here. We offer steady, year-round work, well-planned projects, and a culture built on trust, camaraderie, and doing right by our clients.

We’re looking for a Residential Project Manager who brings skill, initiative, and a collaborative spirit to every job. If you care about quality, enjoy working with a close-knit crew, and want to help homeowners love their homes again, we’d love to meet you.

Brief Job Description

Our Project Managers are responsible for the day-to-day management and carpentry on our remodeling projects. This starts from the time of the design handoff, through demo and rough-in, all the way to completion of the punchlist and, occasionally, warranty. This includes management not only of the work itself, but also managing carpenters, clients, trade partners, and much more.

We partner with talented designers and great clients, creating an environment where projects are well organized, expectations are clear, and the team can enjoy productive, manageable days.

Here’s what you can expect from our culture:

A collaborative, supportive team

Respectful, down-to-earth colleagues
Our team is focused, kind, and committed to doing great work in a drama-free environment where everyone can thrive.
