Job Description
VKB Homes is a fast-growing, systems-driven residential remodeling company serving the Fox Valley. As demand continues to rise, we’re looking for a Lead Carpenter / High-Level Carpenter who takes pride in craftsmanship, ownership, and leadership on the jobsite.

This is not a “show up and swing a hammer” role.

We’re looking for someone who can lead projects, solve problems, and elevate the people around them.

As a Lead Carpenter, you will:
  • Lead jobsite execution for remodels and custom residential projects.
  • Own quality control from demo to finish.
  • Mentor and guide junior carpenters and laborers.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers and trade partners.
  • Ensure jobs stay on schedule and up to VKB standards.
  • Handle framing, finish carpentry, installs, and problem-solving in the field.
  • Communicate professionally with clients when needed.

You are the person who makes sure the job gets done right.

What We’re Looking For:
  • 5+ years residential construction experience preferred.
  • Strong finish carpentry skills.
  • Ability to read plans and execute independently.
  • Leadership mindset, not just task completion.
  • Detail-oriented with pride in craftsmanship.
  • Solution-driven (not excuse-driven).
  • Clean, organized jobsite habits.
  • Valid driver’s license.

What You’ll Get:
  • Competitive pay based on experience.
  • Company van and tools.
  • Support through Project manager and coordinators.
  • Paid vacation and paid holidays.
  • 401k with the state maximum employer match.
  • Leadership growth opportunities.
  • Steady year-round work.
  • Strong team culture (Team First mindset).
  • Organized systems & project support.
  • Opportunity to grow with a scaling company.

We’re building something long-term and we want leaders, not just labor.
