Description

YOUR EXPERIENCE SHOULD PUT YOU IN THE LEAD.

You’ve spent years mastering your craft. You know how to install cabinets correctly, solve problems in the field, deliver clean finish work, and keep a project moving when challenges come up.

Now, you’re looking for more than just the next job.

You want steady, year-round work. Competitive pay. Strong benefits. A team that respects your experience. And an opportunity where you can lead while still doing the hands-on work you’re proud of.

At Norfolk Kitchen & Bath, that’s exactly what we’re looking for.

We’re hiring an experienced Lead Carpenter for our Nashua team—someone who can take ownership in the field, lead other carpenters, and set the standard for quality on residential kitchen and bath projects.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Up to $35/hour, based on experience
  • $1,000 Sign-On Bonus
  • Full-time W-2 employment
  • 40+ hours/week
  • Steady, year-round work
  • Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Stability with a family-owned company serving New England since 1934

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead residential cabinet installation and finish carpentry projects
  • Install custom cabinetry, trim, molding, and detailed finish work
  • Lead and mentor Carpenters and Apprentices
  • Read plans, elevations, blueprints, and job specifications
  • Troubleshoot field conditions and solve installation challenges
  • Coordinate with Project Managers, Designers, and other trades
  • Complete quality checks and punch lists to make sure the job is finished right
  • Maintain safe, clean, and professional jobsites
  • Work professionally with homeowners in occupied residences

Requirements

  • 10+ years of carpentry, cabinet installation, or finish carpentry experience
  • • Strong residential remodeling experience
  • • Proven experience leading or mentoring other carpenters
  • • Strong custom cabinetry and finish-carpentry skills
  • • Ability to read plans and work independently in the field
  • • Strong problem-solving and attention to detail
  • • Valid driver's license, clean driving record, and reliable transportation
  • • Ability to lift 75+ lbs. and perform physical work daily
  • • Professional communication and customer-service skills
  • OSHA 10 and Massachusetts CSL are a plus.

We're Looking For Someone Who

  • Has led finish-carpentry crews, not just worked on them
  • Notices the details other carpenters walk past
  • Sets the standard other carpenters follow
  • Has zero tolerance for cutting corners on customer-facing work
  • Communicates calmly and professionally with homeowners, even when resolving on-site issues

Ready to Set the Standard?

If you're ready to lead the craftsmanship behind every showroom kitchen we sell, apply today and start building your future with The Norfolk Kitchen & Bath.
