Site Carpenter

Vertical Solutions | Job sites in and around Utah County | Full-time | $25–$30/hour DOE

Build the Walls People Climb

You know your way around a job site, your cuts are clean, and you take pride in work that lasts. Now picture that craftsmanship holding up a climbing gym. If you want your work to stand out, let's build something worth climbing.

About the Role

As a Site Carpenter, you'll build and install custom carpentry and steel for climbing gyms, from feature walls and lockers to the structures behind the climbing walls themselves. You'll work on active job sites in and around Utah County, often with clients nearby.

This is a full-time role paying $25–$30/hour, depending on experience. You'll work independently, think on your feet, and leave every site cleaner than you found it.

What You'll Do

  • Build, assemble, and install custom carpentry products such as wooden accent walls, furniture, lockers, and cubbies, ensuring each piece fits and matches the style of the surrounding aesthetics
  • Assemble custom wood and steel structures, and handle concrete, demo, and scaffolding
  • Work at heights with lifts and harnesses, keeping two points of safety and following rope access standards
  • Run hand, power, and pneumatic tools and heavy machinery
  • Read printed and digital plans, estimate materials and equipment, and run quality checks
  • Keep accurate daily time and materials logs
  • Follow OSHA standards, wear your PPE, and keep the job site organized using 5S
  • Report to your assigned job site each morning and get started on your own
  • Pitch in on general labor like cleanup, inventory, and errands

What You Bring

You might be a great fit if you have:

  • 5+ years of professional carpentry experience
  • 3+ years of on-the-job construction training, an apprenticeship, or an associate degree in construction
  • Confidence reading plans, using measuring tools, and handling materials and equipment
  • The strength to lift 75+ lbs regularly, stay on your feet all day, and work at heights in any weather
  • The ability to manage your time and work without someone looking over your shoulder
  • A professional, friendly presence with clients, and clear communication with your crew, foreman, and vendors
  • A love of checklists and systems that keep work consistent and organized

Bonus points for: experience building custom woodwork like accent walls, furniture, lockers, or cubbies. Climbing gym experience is a plus, too.

  • Paid time off
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life, short-term disability, long-term disability, and accident insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
