Job Description

I-5 Design Build is looking for a skilled Commercial Finish Carpenter / Traveling Installer to join our installation team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has developed a strong foundation in commercial carpentry or specialty installation and is ready to take the next step in their career. Our installers work on unique, high-end projects throughout the country, including casinos, resorts, restaurants, and entertainment environments.

This is not repetitive production carpentry. Our projects involve a wide variety of custom architectural and decorative elements, and we're looking for someone who enjoys figuring out how things go together, takes pride in quality work, and wants to continue developing their skills.


Pay: $30.00–$40.00 per hour, based on experience
Schedule: Full-time | Extensive Travel Required


What You'll Do

  • Install custom architectural décor, millwork, casework, countertops, signage, and specialty features
  • Perform accurate layout from drawings and field dimensions
  • Read and interpret construction drawings, plans, and installation details
  • Complete finish carpentry and specialty installation work to a high standard
  • Use hand tools, power tools, lasers, and other layout equipment
  • Solve field conditions and installation challenges as they arise
  • Coordinate and work effectively with other installers, subcontractors, and project teams
  • Travel throughout the United States for project installations
  • Maintain a clean, professional, and safe jobsite


What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of commercial carpentry, finish carpentry, millwork, or related installation experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability
  • Ability to read a tape accurately and understand construction drawings
  • Experience with finish-quality installation and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a traveling team
  • Dependable, professional, and willing to learn new installation methods
  • Ability to travel extensively and work extended project schedules when required
  • Valid driver's license and good driving record


Experience with architectural millwork, solid-surface or stone countertops, signage, architectural metals, glazing, specialty fixtures, or commercial interiors is a plus.


Joining Our Team

We're looking for someone who already knows how to work with their hands but still wants to learn.

The right person takes pride in craftsmanship, works hard without needing constant supervision, can think through a problem in the field, and is interested in becoming a well-rounded installer rather than staying limited to one trade.

If you're the type of person who wants to be challenged, develop new skills, travel the country, and build a career—not just work another construction job—you'll fit in well here.

We're looking for someone who is dependable, coachable, works hard without needing constant supervision, and is committed to producing work they can be proud of. In return, we'll invest in your development and give you the opportunity to grow into one of the best installers in the industry.


For someone with the right ability and attitude, there is significant opportunity to grow into a senior installer or installation lead.


Compensation

  • $30.00–$40.00 per hour, depending on experience and demonstrated skill level.
  • Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, and short and long-term disability benefits
  • Retirement: 401k retirement plan
  • Paid Time Off: One week of PTO for eligible employees who have completed one year of employment, two weeks of PTO after completion of two to four years of employment, and three weeks of PTO after completion of five or more years of employment.
  • Paid Sick Leave: Accrual in accordance with state law (1 hour for every 40 hours worked)
  • Holidays: 7 Paid holidays
  • Per diem and travel-related compensation per company policy
  • Additional Benefits: Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
  • Opportunity for long-term career growth within a national leader in design-build
  • Ability to earn performance bonuses based on strong work ethic, teamwork, and a positive impact on projects – we hope you do!


If you're a skilled carpenter or installer looking for challenging projects, extensive travel, and the opportunity to expand your abilities beyond traditional finish carpentry, we'd like to hear from you.
