Job Description

Set the Standard for Every Showroom Kitchen We Build.

You've spent a decade mastering finish carpentry, and you're the person other carpenters ask when something needs to be exactly right. It's time to lead that work and get paid like the craftsman you are.

The Norfolk Kitchen & Bath has been building trust since 1934. As a fourth-generation, family-owned company, we design, manufacture, distribute, and install our own cabinetry throughout New England, giving you steady, year-round work and a recognized leadership role over our highest-visibility installs.

Why Join Norfolk?

• Starting pay: $35/hour, based on experience
• Full-time W-2 position (40+ hours/week)
• Year-round work — no chasing the next project
• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Paid Time Off
• A recognized leadership role setting the quality bar for the Showroom division

What You'll Do

• Lead installation of custom cabinetry, countertops, and finish carpentry on showroom and residential projects, including work in occupied homes
• Study assigned jobs with the Project Manager to understand full project scope, timeline, materials, and subcontractor tasks
• Own quality control and final walkthroughs for your crew's work; complete a full jobsite punch list at each phase and submit to the PM for review
• Supervise the jobsite and uphold standards of safety, quality, and professionalism for all site personnel, enforcing OSHA safety practices
• Mentor and train Apprentices, Level 1, and Mid-Level Carpenters
• Solve complex fit-and-finish challenges independently; apply basic knowledge of structural framing and support systems, and safely assess non-structural vs. load-bearing walls when adapting plans on-site
• Identify task strategies that align with project budget and scope; flag scope changes or unforeseen conditions to the PM before proceeding
• Coordinate work sequencing to reduce repeat trips and increase on-site efficiency
• Maintain daily documentation (time, photos, punch list items, daily logs) in our project management system
• Manage site cleanliness and dust protection to ensure client satisfaction during occupied remodels
• Ensure daily stocking and organization of tools and inventory on the truck; report needs to the PM or Construction Manager
• Be the go-to expert Designers, Project Managers, subcontractors, and clients trust on site
• Represent Norfolk professionally on high-visibility, customer-facing projects

• 10+ years of carpentry, custom cabinet installation, or finish carpentry experience, including work in occupied residential spaces
• Proven ability to lead and train other carpenters
• Deep experience with high-end or custom finish carpentry
• Reads plans, blueprints, elevations, and job specifications fluently, no hand-holding required
• Strong time management and organizational skills; self-directed and proactive
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record and reliable transportation
• Preference given to candidates with a valid Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License (CSL)
• Ability to lift 75+ lbs and perform physical labor daily, including standing, walking, climbing ladders, stooping, reaching, and carrying materials
• Must speak, read, and comprehend English; bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply
• OSHA 10 Certification is a plus
• Professional appearance and behavior required for working in client homes

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
