Full-Time | $40/hour | Year-Round Work

We're looking for a standout—a highly skilled Lead Carpenter who takes ownership, leads from the front, and gets the job done right. You know your craft, take pride in your work, solve problems, and don't need someone standing over your shoulder.

Winter is coming—and we'll still be working.

Restoration is year-round, and we're looking for someone who wants steady work through every season. Paul Davis Restoration of Southwest Montana is a veteran-owned and operated restoration company helping homeowners and businesses recover from fire, water, storm, and other property damage.

• Read plans, scopes, and job specifications
• Plan daily work and material needs
• Lead and mentor carpenters and laborers
• Keep projects moving and maintain clean, professional jobsites
• Communicate progress and issues with the Project Manager

This is a working Lead Carpenter position. You'll have tools in your hands while also keeping the crew organized and the project moving.

What We're Looking For

• Strong residential carpentry, remodeling, and finish skills
• Experience independently running residential projects
• Experience leading other tradespeople
• Ability to read plans and scopes and plan work
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Reliability, accountability, and professional communication
• Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
