Lead Carpenter — $35–40/hr + Benefits + 401(k) Match
Lead Carpenter
Description
Tired of being pushed to rush quality work?
How many jobs have you run where the plans changed three times after demo? Or where you found out the cabinets were wrong the week they landed?
That is not how we work.
Synergy Design & Construction is an established design-build remodeling company in Reston. Our designers lock the plans and materials before you ever step on site, so you build from a clear set—and you build it once.
We do high-end, detail-driven kitchens, baths, and whole-home renovations. Our reputation is built on craftsmanship, not corner-cutting, and we're looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter to join our team.
WHAT WE OFFER
- $35–40/hour, based on experience
- Health, dental & vision insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off
- Annual tool & PPE allowance
- Mileage reimbursement
- Local work only — our projects stay in Reston and nearby Northern Virginia. No bouncing from job sites in DC to Maryland to the other side of the Beltway.
- Steady work through the winter — our projects are mainly interior, so the calendar doesn't shut us down
- Monday–Friday schedule
- Run residential remodeling job sites from demo through final punch list
- Perform hands-on carpentry: framing, cabinetry installation and finish trim including crown, base and casing
- Build from detailed architectural plans
- Coordinate and inspect trade partners: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, etc.
- Serve as the on-site point of contact for homeowners
- Keep the site clean, safe and on schedule
- 5+ years of experience in high-end residential remodeling — not new construction
- High-level finish carpentry skills, including inset and frameless cabinetry, scribe work, complex crown, built-ins and precision trim
- Ability to run a job site independently and lead trade partners
- Fluent in reading architectural plans and building from them without hand-holding
- Conversational English — you'll work directly with homeowners and our in-house design team
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
We value quality over speed. We stand behind our work. And we treat our crew like the professionals they are—which starts with paying them like it.
If you've been the best carpenter on every crew you've worked on and you're ready for a company that notices, let's talk.
