Below are position descriptions
(not necessarily open positions)
Project Manager
A fast paced position requiring extensive construction experience, excellent communication and organizational skills. Our Project Managers run our larger projects (full home remodels and additions). While other companies have their Project Managers run 4-10 projects at a time, we think 3 projects at a time is the most effective and provides the best experience to our clients.
Lead Carpenter
Our Lead Carpenters run our smaller projects (bathroom renovations to first floor renovations). They focus on one project at a time. Excellent communication skills are required. Ability to problem-solve, schedule trade partners, and write change orders. Must have a self-start attitude and willingness to work within a team atmosphere.
Carpenter
ˈkärpən(t)ər/
noun
- a person who makes and repairs
woodenobjects and structures.
At Ann Arbor Remodeling, we highly respect the skilled trades and appreciate old world craftsmanship. We believe a carpenter should be a craftsman, and much more than the common misconception that carpenters only work with wood. Our carpenters are well versed in multiple areas. One day they might be framing an addition, and the next fabricating a concrete countertop. They might build a custom built-in cabinet, and then take it through the finishing process. We invest in training and take a group approach to problem solving.
This means the type of person we look for to be a carpenter on our team, is someone who believes in continual improvement. They aim for perfection, settling for excellence, knowing perfection is never achievable.
Apprentice Carpenter
Must be motivated with a willingness to learn. Work daily under our team of skilled craftsman along with the opportunity to take construction classes at WCC paid for by Ann Arbor Remodeling.
We also offer online training for our apprentices through Mt. Copeland.
Designer
This position is the key to our beautiful projects. Without thoughtful design, it doesn’t matter how talented our craftsman are, they can’t create magic from a poor design.
The key to an exceptional designer is being a great listener that is able to confidently articulate ideas to our clients without being overbearing. Each of our projects is tailor fit to our clients.
Our designers listen to our clients needs, create a design that works for the client, and then develops the necessary details to handoff the project to our production team. This includes: Selections, Take-offs, Cut-sheets
