Job Description

Lead Carpenter — JJ Legacy Contracting Ancaster, Dundas, Hamilton & Burlington, Ontario | $80,000 – $120,000 | Full-Time | Company Vehicle and Tools | Profile Sharing | Benefits Are you the kind of person who keeps hitting the ceiling at every company you work for? The one who gets told to hurry up on work you knew could have been better? At JJ Legacy, there is no ceiling. The more you deliver, the more we put in front of you. And nobody here will ask you to drop your standard to make a schedule. Lead the Build. Own the Standard. Most renovation companies are organized chaos. Trades show up late. Clients hear nothing for weeks. Corners get cut quietly and nobody says a word. Nobody's accountable and everybody knows it. We built JJ Legacy to be the opposite of that. Now we need someone who wants to help us prove it, every single day, on every single job. Our pipeline is full through summer. We are not chasing work. We need someone to build it right. The Role You lead the crew on our interior renovations, from first day to final walkthrough. That means the carpentry goes in properly, the work is ready for the trades coming in behind you, the site looks like professionals work there, and the client sees the same calm, organized standard every day they come home. You are not just swinging a hammer. You are the person clients trust when the owner or project manager is not on site. You set the tone, you hold the line on quality, and you bring the guys working under you up to your level. What You Will Do • Lead a crew on interior renovation projects and see them through from start to completion • Perform high-end finish carpentry and installation work to JJ Legacy's standard • Train and mentor the carpenters and apprentices working alongside you • Keep the site organized, safe, and clean throughout the build • Communicate with clients professionally and proactively while they are living through a renovation • Flag issues early rather than building over top of them • Represent JJ Legacy on site the way the owner would: organized, calm, and in control You Would Fit Right In If You • Do high-end work and choose quality over quantity without being asked to • Have led a crew before, or are ready to, and can teach what you know without ego • Have strong installation and finish skills and take pride in what your work looks like a year later • Can talk to a homeowner with confidence and keep them comfortable in their own house • Take ownership without being asked. You see a problem, you handle it, and then you communicate it, in that order. • Hold a high standard and do not apologize for it. • Good enough is not in your vocabulary. • Want to be part of something growing and are willing to grow with it. This Is Not the Role for You If • Speed matters more to you than finish quality. Our clients pay for excellent and that is what they get. • You need someone to tell you what to do next. This role requires initiative, not instruction. • You would rather work alone than bring other people up. This role leads and trains. • You think the client is an interruption to the work. They are the reason for it. • You are looking for a job to collect a cheque. We are building something and you need to want to be part of it. Who We Are JJ Legacy Contracting is a premium interior renovation company, specializing in bathrooms and kitchens, and serving Ancaster, Dundas, Hamilton, and Burlington homeowners. We are in year five, growing fast, and building the team to match. We compete on organization, communication, and craftsmanship, not price. We operate by three values: We are here to serve. Every homeowner who invites us into their home deserves our full attention, our best work, and our honest communication. We do what is right. When it is hard, when it costs us, when nobody is watching. The right call is still the right call. We pursue growth. This company is building toward something significant. The person in this role will grow with it. Compensation and Benefits • $80,000 – $120,000 based on skill set and performance • Your choice of hourly, salary, or performance pay • Profit sharing opportunity • New company vehicle and tools provided • Health benefits package and life insurance • Full-time, permanent position • Ancaster, Dundas, Hamilton, and Burlington, Ontario How to Apply Send a short note about who you are, what you have built, and why JJ Legacy is the right fit for you.
