Apply for Journeyman Carpenter

Parrish Construction is a two-owner design-build remodeling company in Carmichael, California, serving the Greater Sacramento area. We do high-end kitchens, bathrooms, and finish carpentry for homeowners across Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Carmichael, Land Park, and surrounding neighborhoods. In 2025, we won the NARI Remodeler of the Year award in the Residential Bath Under $40K category. We are a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1115328). We're hiring our first non-owner field employee, and we're being intentional about it. This isn't a stopgap hire — it's the first step toward building a multi-crew operation.

About the Role

This is a ground-floor hire. The right person grows into our Lead Carpenter over the next 12–24 months as we add additional field hires. You'll work alongside our founder on active projects, learn how we run jobs, and progressively take on more autonomy. By Year 2, you're running jobs day-to-day, coordinating subcontractors, and helping mentor newer field staff.

The role is hands-on across the full project lifecycle — selective demolition through final punch list — with a focus on cabinetry, trim, doors, finish carpentry, and supporting trades (light plumbing, light electrical, drywall, tile prep). We work almost exclusively in occupied homes, so professionalism with clients and rigorous cleanup standards matter as much as craftsmanship.

Schedule and Location

• Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM
• Breaks: 30-minute unpaid lunch + two paid 10-minute rest breaks per California labor law
• Location: Work performed across the Greater Sacramento area (Sacramento County and surrounding); employee reports directly to active jobsites

What You'll Be Doing

You'll work across all phases of remodeling — not just finish carpentry:

• Selective demolition of cabinetry, countertops, flooring, drywall, and fixtures
• Light framing — doorways, wall modifications, blocking, minor structural changes
• Drywall installation, repair, and prep for paint
• Cabinetry installation — kitchen, bath, built-ins
• Trim and millwork — base, crown, casing, doors, hardware, custom details
• Tile substrate prep — backerboard, waterproofing, layout
• Light plumbing and electrical under PCI's license — toilets, faucets, vanities, fixtures, receptacles
• Punch list and final detail work — the things clients notice first

You'll also maintain clean, organized jobsites with daily broom-clean standards, install and maintain dust containment and floor protection in occupied homes, and communicate directly with homeowners about scope and progress.

Required Qualifications

• 3–7 years of residential remodeling experience at journeyman level (or equivalent)
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid California driver's license and reliable personal transportation
• Eligibility to work in the United States
• Personal hand tools and basic power tools (specialty and large equipment provided by PCI)
• Ability to read blueprints, shop drawings, and manufacturer specifications
• Strong mathematical skills for measurement, layout, and material estimation
• Safe operation of standard carpentry hand and power tools
• Ability to communicate professionally with homeowners
• Ability to pass a background check

Preferred Qualifications

• Formal apprenticeship completion (UBC, ABC NorCal, or other recognized program)
• Prior experience working in occupied-home remodeling
• Demonstrated experience with high-end cabinetry installation
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification
• Familiarity with JobTread or comparable project management software
• Prior experience working at a NARI-affiliated company

Desired Skills and Attributes

The right person for this role:

• Has a real eye for craft — clean lines, tight reveals, scribed fits. You notice when something is off.
• Communicates professionally with homeowners — friendly, respectful, represents the company well in someone's home every day.
• Works reliably and independently — shows up on time, communicates clearly when you can't, finishes what you start.
• Wants to grow into more responsibility — this is a career role, not a paycheck role. We're building a crew and want someone who's building alongside us.
• Takes ownership of quality — addresses mistakes without prompting, raises concerns proactively, holds a high standard.

• Manual dexterity for fine carpentry work
• Tolerance for variable indoor conditions (no HVAC during some construction phases, dust, noise)

Pay

• $32–$40 per hour, depending on experience
• Weekly direct deposit through Gusto, paid every Friday
• Overtime per California law (1.5× after 8 hours/day or 40 hours/week, 2× after 12 hours/day)
• Clear path to Lead Carpenter pay ($45+/hr) as you grow into the role

• Home Depot commercial account with purchasing authority for project consumables

Professional Development

• NARI Certified Lead Carpenter (CLC) certification funded when eligible (5 years industry experience + 2 years in a lead role)
• Ongoing on-the-job skill development
• 90-day onboarding review followed by annual performance and compensation reviews

Growth Path

• Months 1–6: Working alongside the founder on active projects. Learning PCI systems, quality standards, and client interaction protocols.
• Months 6–18: Increasing autonomy on specific scopes. Beginning to participate in scheduling, materials ordering, and client communication.
• Year 2+: Lead Carpenter role — running jobs day-to-day, coordinating subcontractors, mentoring future hires. Compensation grows to lead-level range ($45+/hr).
