Carpenters Study specifications in blueprints, sketches, or building plans to prepare project layout and determine dimensions and materials

required. Shape or cut materials to specified measurements, using hand tools, machines, or power saws. Follow established safety rules and regulations and maintain a safe and clean environment. Measure and mark cutting lines on materials, using a ruler, pencil, chalk, and marking gauge. Install structures or fixtures, such as windows, frames, floorings, trim, or hardware, using carpenters' hand or power tools. Verify trueness of structure, using plumb bob and level. Build or repair cabinets, doors, frameworks, floors, or other wooden fixtures used in buildings, using woodworking machines,

carpenter's hand tools, or power tools. Assemble and fasten materials to make frameworks or props, using hand tools and wood screws, nails, dowel pins, or glue. Remove damaged or defective parts or sections of structures and repair or replace, using hand tools. Inspect ceiling or floor tile, wall coverings, siding, glass, or woodwork to detect broken or damaged structures.

Skills and Abilities Critical Thinking — Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or

approaches to problems. Equipment Selection — Determining the kind of tools and equipment needed to do a job. Operation Monitoring — Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly. Manual Dexterity — The ability to quickly move your hand, your hand together with your arm, or your two hands to grasp,

manipulate, or assemble objects. Multilimb Coordination — The ability to coordinate two or more limbs (for example, two arms, two legs, or one leg and one

arm) while sitting, standing, or lying down. It does not involve performing the activities while the whole body is in motion. Problem Sensitivity — The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the

problem, only recognizing there is a problem. Static Strength — The ability to exert maximum muscle force to lift, push, pull, or carry objects. Trunk Strength — The ability to use your abdominal and lower back muscles to support part of the body repeatedly or

continuously over time without 'giving out' or fatiguing. Finger Dexterity — The ability to make precisely coordinated movements of the fingers of one or both hands to grasp,

manipulate, or assemble very small objects. Near Vision — The ability to see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer). Arm-Hand Steadiness — The ability to keep your hand and arm steady while moving your arm or while holding your arm and

hand in one position. Deductive Reasoning — The ability to apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense. Information Ordering — The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain order or pattern according to a specific rule or set of

rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations).

Character Traits for Workplace Success

Attention to Detail — Job requires being careful about detail and thorough in completing work tasks. Dependability — Job requires being reliable, responsible, and dependable, and fulfilling obligations. Initiative — Job requires a willingness to take on responsibilities and challenges. Cooperation — Job requires being pleasant with others on the job and displaying a good-natured, cooperative attitude. Integrity — Job requires being honest and ethical.
