Job Description
KH Properties – Lead CarpenterAbout You
You’re looking for a stable, year-round opportunity where your craftsmanship is valued and your hard work is recognized. You want to grow your skills, work with people you respect, and be part of projects you’re proud to point out to friends and family. You thrive when you’re given clear expectations, quality tools, supportive teammates, and steady work that keeps you moving and learning.
At KH Properties, we’ve been in your shoes. We know what it feels like to work for companies that don’t communicate or don’t invest in their people — which is exactly why we choose to operate differently. We’re not perfect, but we are committed to continuous improvement, strong communication, and taking care of our people.
As a Lead Carpenter, you’ll help bring new life to our multifamily communities through high-quality, detail-driven renovation work. You’ll collaborate with a strong construction team that values craftsmanship, safety, and respect for the homes and residents we serve. Travel between KH Properties locations will be required based on project needs.

Our construction team plays a critical role in that mission. We complete full-scope interior and exterior renovations — breathing new life into buildings and raising the standard of quality across our portfolio. We pride ourselves on being hands-on, solutions-oriented, and committed to delivering a product we stand behind.
