Job Description

The Offer: HEI pays well, trains hard, and promotes from within. If you're a residential carpenter tired of chaos, mediocre crews, and dead end seats, this is the move. We're a Fort Wayne residential remodeling and electrical contractor scaling to triple revenue over the next 4 years, and we need a Field Carpenter who wants to grow with us.

  • Compensation: $25 to $35 per hour, based on experience and certifications. We pay for skill and execution
  • Year-Round Work: We don't slow down in January. Steady jobs, steady paychecks.
  • Real Growth Path: Field Carpenter - Foreman - Project Manager. We document the path. We promote from within
  • Roth Simple IRA with company match
  • PTO and paid holidays
  • HRA healthcare support
  • Paid OSHA 10 certification if you don't already have it
  • Professional development reimbursement for certs, training, and classes
  • High-end residential work in Fort Wayne's premier neighborhoods. Real craftsmanship, not slapdash
  • A crew that takes pride in tight joints, clean lines, and on-time finishes
  • Direct access to ownership. No corporate red tape

What You'll Execute:

  • Frame, trim, hang doors, install cabinets, and build custom millwork to architectural drawings
  • Read blueprints and shop drawings accurately. Translate the page into a finished room
  • Coordinate alongside electrical, plumbing, and HVAC so trades hand off cleanly
  • Maintain a safe site (PPE, OSHA standards, hazard reporting). Zero incidents is the standard
  • Communicate progress to the Foreman and PM. We operate on facts, not surprises

  • Craftsmanship: You do it right the first time. Tight joints, plumb walls, clean lines
  • Professionalism: You show up on time, looking and acting like a pro. We work in high-end homes
  • Reliability: You do what you say. If you commit to a Tuesday finish, the homeowner gets a Tuesday finish
  • Ownership: You don't pass the buck. You catch the mistake before it leaves the site
