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. Our projects have ranged from historic barns, to school houses, to churches to museum spaces and additions/ renovations on private homes. Each job is unique in its elements but consistent in their adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.

Duties, and Responsibilities:

As a preservation carpenter, you would be completing all facets of historic preservation work in the field as a member of a small crew of 2-5 workers. The range of skills and tasks varies by job but rough and finish carpentry skills, knowledge of structural concepts, siding installation, painting, and window/door construction will all come into play. Occasionally tasks include work in other preservation trades such as demolition, basic masonry, and other finish work. Often times our jobs are beyond commuting distance and require weekly travel and transportation to different regions of the state. It can be a challenging schedule to spend much of the busy season on the road, but we have found the variety of interesting projects to be well worth the travel.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Pay will be commensurate upon experience, ranging from $22-28 an hour
  • Carpenter to receive daily per diem for each work day beyond an hour from shop
  • Company carpooling opportunities wherever possible
  • Paid travel to and from job sites
  • PTO
  • Matching IRA program
