Project Manager / Carpenter
Job Description
About the Company:
Our client is a family-owned, locally based property restoration and reconstruction company serving the West Michigan area. They help homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, mold, and storm damage — offering 24/7 emergency response, remediation, and full reconstruction services from first call to final walkthrough. They take pride in treating every property like their own, and they're growing their reconstruction/rebuild division, which is where this role comes in.
Role Summary
They're looking to bring on an in-house "General Contractor". This person will bridge the gap between overseeing multi-crew projects and handling smaller, hands-on work internally, helping us save on subcontracting costs and keep operations running smoothly.
Key Responsibilities
- Project & Sub Management: Run multiple job sites simultaneously, manage internal and external crews, and leverage both company subs and personal trade connections as needed.
- Hands-On Carpentry & Repairs: Personally handle smaller interior scope — door installs, trim work, cabinet hanging, minor drywall patches — without needing to sub it out.
- Property Repair & Claims-Based Work: Oversee projects tied to property damage repair, including navigating the requirements and documentation involved in claims-backed jobs.
Key Qualifications & Preferences
- License: A General Contractor (GC) license is a strong plus, though not strictly required.
- Experience: Proven track record in finish carpentry, handyman-level repairs, and managing multiple job sites at once.
- Business Development (Bonus): Candidates who bring existing client relationships, active contracts, or warm leads are highly desirable.
Compensation & Benefits
- Structure: Full-time salary W2 or 1099
- Equipment: Company vehicle and company tools provided, with flexibility to use personal preferred tool brands.
- Benefits: Health/dental/vision coverage, PTO, paid holidays
- Growth: Direct path to shaping internal operations and crew structure as the company scales.
