Carpenter
We are custom treehouse builders with a focus on creative and unique projects in stunning locations around the Pacific Northwest. We love the outdoors, love what we do, and are looking for the right person to join our growing team.
Do you like spending time among the trees? Our small design/build company focuses exclusively on custom treehouses. We are looking to bring on an Experienced Carpenter who has a great attitude and genuinely loves building.
Do you like 3-day weekends in the summertime? Our crew works four 10-hour days each week and rarely works on weekends. We value a work-life balance.
Our projects range from two to eight weeks in length. Do you like variety? Designs, job-sites, and clients change regularly.
The treehouses we build serve our clients in multiple ways: guest house, home office, kids’ playhouse, meditation space, movie theater, she-shed, man-cave, viewing platform, wine bar….
Would you like on-the-job training in the techniques of treehouse building?
We build treehouses that are playful, fun, and creative for a diverse clientele. We are building a team that is also diverse, creative, and playful. Our company prides itself on being progressive, inclusive, and open-minded. The treehouse community is a welcoming one and we strive to make it a safe place for everyone. Kindness and energy are highly valued, and an openness to learning new things. All qualified and interested individuals are encouraged to apply.
