Construction Foreman

About Adirondack Customs

Adirondack Customs is the Adirondacks' premier custom home builder — specializing in log homes, timber-frame structures, and conventional stick-frame construction. Our mission is simple: Build a Better Life — for our clients, our team, and our community.

We're not a volume builder. Every project is one-of-a-kind, and so is the craftsmanship behind it. We operate on four core values that aren't just words on a wall — they're how we show up every day:

• Quality — Do the job right. Every cut, every joint, every detail.
• Integrity — Do the right thing, even when no one's looking.
• Professionalism — Hold yourself to a higher standard — on the jobsite, in front of clients, and in how you lead your crew.
• Faith, Family & Team — We work hard and we take care of each other. Your family matters here, and so does the team you build around you.

The Role

We're looking for a Construction Foreman who can lead from the front — someone with master-level carpentry skills who isn't afraid to pick up a tool and work shoulder-to-shoulder with their crew, while also keeping the big picture in focus.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll run custom home builds from start to finish, manage your team daily, coordinate with subs, and be the person on-site who sets the standard for quality and professionalism. You'll report to the Construction Operations Manager and serve as the direct link between the field and the office.

If you're a seasoned carpenter who's ready to lead a crew, take ownership of exceptional projects, and grow with a company that values doing things right — this is your opportunity.

What You'll Do

Lead Your Crew

• Supervise and mentor a team of carpenters and laborers on active custom home builds
• Set the daily pace, assign tasks, and ensure every team member is working safely and efficiently
• Foster a positive, accountable team culture rooted in servant leadership — lead by example
• Conduct on-site training and develop your team's skills over time

Build at the Highest Level

• Perform master carpenter-level work: crown molding, stair layout, hip and valley roofs, coffered ceilings, cabinet installation, and mortise-and-tenon timber framing
• Read and interpret blueprints, architectural plans, and project specifications
• Ensure all work meets or exceeds project specs, building codes, and Adirondack Customs' quality standards
• Operate and oversee the safe use of all hand tools, power tools, and construction equipment

Manage the Jobsite

• Keep projects on schedule and within budget in coordination with the Construction Operations Manager
• Coordinate with subcontractors — ensure their work aligns with project requirements and address issues immediately
• Manage material deliveries, jobsite organization, and resource allocation
• Identify and resolve risks and issues in real time, escalating to leadership when needed
• Enforce all safety protocols and OSHA compliance — no exceptions

Represent ADK Customs

• Be the face of the company on the jobsite — interact with clients professionally and with transparency
• Communicate project progress, challenges, and updates clearly to leadership
• Use email, text, and mobile apps to stay connected and keep projects documented

What We're Looking For

Required

• 10+ years of progressive carpentry experience , including master-level skills in custom residential construction
• 5+ years leading a construction crew  — you've run jobsites, managed people, and delivered results
• Expertise in advanced carpentry techniques : blueprint interpretation, complex framing, specialty trim and finish work, timber framing
• Strong leadership and communication skills  — you can direct a crew, coordinate with subs, and talk to clients with equal confidence
• Problem-solver  — you think on your feet, anticipate issues, and keep things moving
• Valid driver's license  and ability to travel to jobsites throughout the region
• Physically capable  — able to lift 50+ lbs, work on your feet all day, and perform demanding construction tasks in all seasons

What Sets You Apart

• Experience specifically in log home or timber-frame construction
• Track record of developing and mentoring crew members
• Emotional intelligence — you lead with respect, stay calm under pressure, and bring out the best in your team
• Familiarity with project management tools and construction software
• OSHA 30 certification or equivalent safety training

Why Adirondack Customs?

• One-of-a-kind projects — Custom log homes and timber frames, not tract housing. Every build is a showcase.
• Lead, don't just manage — You'll have real ownership of your crew and your jobsites.
• Skilled team — Work with craftsmen who care about the trade and hold each other to a high standard.
• Values-driven company — Integrity, quality, and professionalism aren't aspirational here — they're the baseline.
• Work-life balance — We believe in faith, family, and team. Your well-being matters as much as the build schedule.
• Growth potential — As ADK Customs grows, so does your opportunity to lead bigger projects and develop your career.
