I am looking for a position as a Carpenter/Lead Carpenter. I have an extensive and thorough background in all aspects of the residential construction industry and the ancillary trades, backed up by formal education and a continued pursuit to improve and expand my skills. I am looking to join a quality oriented and professional firm,
I have over a decade of experience in the construction field. I have worked as a carpenter, a ‘hands on’ supervisor/lead carpenter, and operated my own General Contracting firm, gdcarpenter, inc., at which time I held a North Carolina General Contractors License. I am very familiar with NC Building Codes.
Having run my own general contracting business and worked as a supervisor/lead carpenter I have realized that my strongest skills are the multitasking skills required to keep a job organized, have the materials and tools on hand, and work productively and efficiently. I have very reliable transportation and an extensive and comprehensive collection of tools.
I am experienced and talented in virtually all the skills required of a carpenter, as well as being well versed in basic plumbing, electrical and tile work. My formal education background and genuine love for the trade compel me to keep current with the industry and continually striving to improve and expand my skill set.
I have just recently returned to Raleigh after a three year stint in Connecticut and I would welcome the opportunity to join and assist a firm here. I have recently completed a college level course in AutoCAD.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my possible employment with your firm could be mutually beneficial.
Sincerely,
Garfield J. Karpiak
