Entry Level Carpenter – Growth Track

C&Z Construction is looking for motivated individuals who want to build a long-term career in construction. We have been in business since 1983 and operate in a recession-resistant industry focused on fire and restoration services, providing stable, year-round work. This is an entry-level position where you will learn how structures are built by assisting with demolition, job site preparation, and restoration work.

Growth Opportunity - After 12 months of consistent performance, reliability, and strong work ethic, you may be promoted to a Carpenter Helper position. From there, you will begin hands-on carpentry training with the opportunity to grow into a Lead Carpenter. This is a career path, not just a job.

You must be able to lift and maneuver items of at least 75 pounds regularly. You will climb and descend stairs and ladders multiple times a day. Tasks include repetitive bending, twisting, reaching overhead, and working in tight or awkward spaces. You must maintain the stamina for continuous physical labor throughout the day, including walking, carrying materials, and performing tasks safely and efficiently. 

Serving others after a disaster has struck their property is not easy. Our employees must have world-class work ethic, serious attention to detail, and love to help others.
