Carpenter Apprentice
About the Role
Fewing Construction LLC is a Seattle-based residential general contractor specializing in kitchen and bath remodels, finish carpentry, flooring, insulation, door installation, and fireplace inserts. We're looking for a carpenter who wants to learn the trade properly: hands-on, under direct supervision, on real renovation projects across the Seattle area. This is a path toward journeyman-level carpentry, not just a labor job.
What You'll Do
Work alongside our general contractor and field crew on residential remodel projects: kitchens, bathrooms, finish carpentry, flooring, and trim
Learn to read plans, take accurate measurements, and execute cuts and installs to spec
Assist with material handling, site prep, cleanup, and job site organization
Operate hand and power tools safely under supervision, building toward independent use
Support installation of doors, cabinetry, fireplace inserts, and insulation
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized job site in compliance with OSHA and L&I standards
Show up on time, communicate clearly, and take feedback well; this matters as much as tool skills
What We're Looking For
High school diploma or equivalent
Reliable transportation to job sites around the Seattle metro area
Basic math skills (measurements, fractions, angles) and comfort reading a tape measure
Physical ability to lift 100+ lbs, stand/kneel for extended periods, and work on ladders and scaffolding
Come equipped with your own basic hand tools (tape measure, hammer, level, utility knife, chalk line, speed square); we provide power tools and heavy equipment
A genuine interest in learning the carpentry trade; prior construction or trade school exposure is a plus but not required
Punctual, coachable, and a team player; small crews mean everyone's contribution shows
Nice to Have
Prior job site experience (framing, finish work, general labor)
Enrollment in or completion of a trade school / pre-apprenticeship program
Familiarity with basic hand and power tools (drills, saws, levels)
Pay: $25.00 - $33.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
