Carpenter Jobs in Cottage Grove, WI

A Carpenter is an essential role in the construction industry, responsible for cutting, shaping, and installing building materials during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc. They also read and interpret blueprints, drawings, and sketches to understand the project's requirements, plan the layout, measure and cut materials, and assemble and join them together. The tasks of a carpenter also involve installing structures and fixtures, such as windows and molding. Therefore, they should have strong mechanical skills, physical strength and stamina, problem-solving skills, and an eye for detail.

Before becoming a Carpenter, a person may have held roles such as a Carpenter's Helper or Assistant, where they would have gained on-the-job training and experience under the supervision of a seasoned Carpenter. Another position that can lead to a career as a Carpenter is a Construction Laborer, which provides an understanding of the construction process and the use of tools. To enhance their credentials, Carpenters should consider obtaining certifications such as the Pre-Apprentice Certificate Training (PACT), or the Certified Remodeler (CR), Certified Lead Carpenter (CLC), or Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler (CKBR) from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
