Original job description

Franklin General Contracting

South Glengarry, ON | Full-time | $32 to $40 per hour, based on experience

At Franklin General Contracting, we believe great construction work starts with great people.

We are looking for an experienced Lead Carpenter who takes pride in their craft, leads by example, and can keep a small crew productive without needing someone looking over their shoulder every day.

This role is about more than being a skilled carpenter. We need someone who can organize daily work, solve problems in the field, maintain high standards, and help build a crew that can be trusted to get the job done right.

We are a family-owned design/build contractor serving South Glengarry, Cornwall, and the surrounding SD&G area. Our work includes custom homes, renovations, additions, and other general contracting projects.

Learn more about us: https://franklincontracting.ca/

What You'll Do

You'll lead and work alongside a small crew of approximately two to three team members, helping keep projects organized, productive, and on track.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

Lead daily work activities and coordinate tasks for your crew.
Work alongside team members while maintaining responsibility for the quality and progress of assigned work.
Read and interpret construction drawings, plans, and specifications.
Perform hands-on carpentry, framing, finishing, drywall, and other construction-related tasks as project needs require.
Identify problems on site, make sound decisions, and find practical solutions without waiting for constant direction.
Coordinate with the Site Supervisor and other team members to keep work moving according to project priorities.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site.
Communicate expectations clearly and help less experienced team members improve through hands-on guidance.
Take ownership of assigned tasks and follow through on commitments.
Represent Franklin General Contracting professionally with clients, trades, suppliers, and coworkers.

What We're Looking For

At least 5 years of experience in carpentry or residential construction.
Previous experience leading a crew, acting as a Lead Hand, or taking responsibility for job-site execution is strongly preferred.
The ability to work independently while keeping the broader team informed.
Confidence reading construction drawings and translating plans into completed work.
Strong practical problem-solving and decision-making skills.
A commitment to quality workmanship, safety, and accountability.
Clear communication and the ability to work well with different personalities.
A valid driver's licence and reliable transportation to travel between job sites.
Experience with finishing carpentry and drywall is an asset.
Experience operating a mini excavator or hauling trailers is an asset, but not required.
A Red Seal carpentry designation is an asset.

Character Matters Here

At Franklin General Contracting, who you are matters just as much as what you know.

We are intentional about building a team of people who take pride in their work and in the way they conduct themselves. We are not interested in the typical construction-site mentality of cutting corners, blaming others, or simply doing the minimum required.

If that sounds like you, there may be a place for you here.

What We Offer

Competitive pay of $32 to $40 per hour, based on experience and capability
A genuine opportunity to lead a small crew and take ownership of field execution.
The opportunity to help build a stronger, more independent construction team.
A team that values quality workmanship, accountability, and good people.
Opportunities to contribute ideas and improve how work gets done.

About Franklin General Contracting

Franklin General Contracting is committed to delivering quality workmanship while building a team and culture we can be proud of.

Our goal is to build strong crews that can operate with ownership and independence while staying aligned with the values and standards of our company. We believe the right people make the difference, and we are looking for team members who want to grow, contribute, and help us build something meaningful.

How To Apply

If you're an experienced carpenter or construction professional who is ready to step into a leadership role and be part of a team that values quality, integrity, and accountability, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and tell us a little about your construction experience and why you believe you would be a great fit for Franklin General Contracting.

Salary: $32 - $40 per hour
