Carpenter

Job Overview

As a carpenter, you’re needed for just about everything structural: constructing and erecting facilities and plants and assisting ongoing and turnaround maintenance activities by building construction supports such as scaffolds or braces. As you gain experience, you may move into a leadership role. Because your work interlocks so precisely with that of other trades, your coordination skills make you a strong overseer of construction projects. Does this kind of work hit the nail on the head?

Carpenters are needed in the energy industry for just about everything structural, including constructing and erecting facilities and plants and assisting ongoing and turnaround maintenance activities by building construction supports such as scaffolds or braces.

Carpenters build, shape and cut materials to specified measurements, assemble and fasten components, or install windows, frames and flooring. They can choose to specialize as well. For example, cribbing and framing appeals to those who can handle the heavy lifting associated with oil and gas and other industrial construction.
