Deep Roots Craftsmen, a historic preservation contractor based in Fort Collins, Colorado, is looking for a field trim carpenter to join our team as we continue to expand our presence in the historic preservation industry. Our current demand is for someone willing to travel for longer periods of time on the road focusing on finish carpentry. In time, this role would then likely be a split role between our shop in Fort Collins and site work. The position may also be a short-term assignment but largely depending on the candidates to see if there would be a long-term fit.
Since 2018, our team has been performing preservation work across the state of Colorado. Thanks in large part to one of the strongest grant programs in the country, preservation is thriving in Colorado. Most of our projects are partly state-funded, leading to an interesting and always varying range of non-profit clients and project sites.
Typically our projects are located around the state of CO, generally 1-3 hours from Denver, CO. The initial assignment(s) would likely include out-of-state work requiring a few weeks at a time on the road.
