Who we are. National Restoration® is a locally owned general contractor based in Monroe, serving Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties (NC General Contractor License No. 87712). We repair homes and buildings after water and fire damage, and we build: additions, renovations and historic houses. We are not on any insurance program. We work for the property owner.

The job in one sentence. The Project Manager hands you a job file, and you bring that job back finished: you plan the days, you lead the crew, and you do the carpentry alongside them.

What you will do
*  Take a job file (the scope, the plans, the labor hours allowed and the schedule) and run that job to the finish. You plan the days. You do not wait to be told.
*  Lead a crew of two technicians on site, plus laborers when a job needs them, and show them how to do a task right.
*  Do the skilled carpentry yourself, on the tools: framing, drywall, doors and windows, trim and finish work, inside and out, in occupied houses.
*  Stay with a job from the first visit to the final walk-through. Our crew does not hand a house off to a second crew.
*  Check the work before the crew leaves each day. Leave every site clean and safe.
*  Take photos of the work on your phone, every job, every day. The photos are how we prove what we did and how we get paid.
*  Receive materials on site. Keep tools and equipment accounted for.
*  Keep the Project Manager informed without being asked: a short update each day, and a call the same day if anything will not go to plan.

What you can count on from us
*  The work is settled before you start. We do not begin a job until the scope is agreed in writing and the deposit is in.
*  A complete job file in your hands before the job starts: scope, plans, materials, schedule.
*  A clear lane. You do not quote prices, promise dates or deal with insurance companies. The office does.
*  A steady way of working. We plan the work and work the plan. We would rather be measured and on time than heroic and late.
*  Your first 90 days in writing, so you know what a good start looks like.

Pay and benefits
*  Pay up to $35 an hour, paid weekly every Friday. We pay above that for a current lead-safe renovator or water-damage certification, for pricing change orders, or for running subcontractors.
*  Dental, vision and supplemental coverage through Aflac, and a health insurance stipend when you show proof of your own coverage.
*  3% commission on any job you bring to the Company.
*  Paid holidays and vacation.
*  Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, with overtime paid when a job needs it.

What you need
*  Five or more years in carpentry or construction on the rebuild side: framing, drywall, trim, finish, doors and windows, in occupied houses. You can show it: past employers, jobs, photos of your work.
*  You have run whole jobs alone, from scope to final walk-through, with no supervisor on site, more than once.
*  You have led a crew of two or more for months, not days.
*  You can read plans and a written scope of work and build to them.
*  You already use your phone for photos or notes on the job.
*  You own your hand tools and the power tools of your trade.
*  A valid driver's license, and you are willing to authorize a driving record check and a background check.
*  You can climb ladders, lift materials and work in attics and crawlspaces.

A plus, not a must: water or fire damage repair experience (demolition, drying equipment, protecting the owner's belongings); a lead-safe renovator or IICRC water-damage certificate; experience pricing change orders or running subcontractors. We can teach the damage side to a good carpenter.
