Apprentice Carpenter
Parrish Construction is hiring an apprentice carpenter in the Greater Sacramento area. Learn residential remodeling hands-on at a NARI award-winning design-build company — full benefits, weekly pay, and a defined path to journeyman carpenter. $18–23/hr to start, with a paid working day as part of hiring.
About the Role
We're hiring an apprentice carpenter — someone early in the trade who wants to learn it properly, from demo day to punch list, in a small two-owner company where you'll work directly alongside experienced carpenters, not get parked on a labor crew. We do kitchens, baths, fireplaces, and finish carpentry in occupied homes across Greater Sacramento (2025 NARI Remodeler of the Year, CSLB #1115328).
What you'll do
- Demo, site protection, and site prep in occupied homes
- Material runs, jobsite organization, and end-of-day cleanup done right
- Assist on framing, drywall, door sets, and finish work — learning each phase hands-on
- Log your day in our project management system (JobTread)
What we need
- Some construction, trade, or serious hands-on experience (even non-professional — tell us what you've built)
- Show up every day, on time, with a phone that answers
- Basic hand tools and the intent to build out your kit as you learn (we provide large, specialty, and trade-specific tools)
- Reliable transportation and a valid CA driver's license
- Care about working clean in someone's home
What you get
- $18–23/hr to start, based on what you can already do — reviewed as your skills grow, with a defined path to journeyman carpenter ($30+/hr)
- Weekly direct deposit, paid Mondays
- Medical (Kaiser Gold 80) — PCI pays up to 75% of the base plan premium — plus Guardian dental/vision
- Paid sick leave, vacation, 7 paid holidays; 401(k) after 6 months
- Real training: you'll learn remodel carpentry from people who won awards doing it
How we hire: short phone call → in-person interview → paid working day on a real jobsite → offer. The working day is paid whether or not we move forward.
