Cesar

Supervisor - Carpentry

As Forge’s first pro, Cesar has been here since the very beginning. For almost 20 years, Cesar has been working as a carpenter, specializing in renovations and finished carpentry. He was looking for the next step in his career when he found Forge — a new kind of construction company where he can continue to grow and develop as a carpenter.

I’ve been doing this for more than 17 years.... I learned through doing, making mistakes, and hearing feedback. I honed a lot of skills over those years, and now, I try to teach others. You have to take pride in your work to get a good end result.

Meet

Dave

Field Supervisor

For 18 years, Dave was self-employed, running his own residential carpentry business. He never liked the business aspects of being a business owner, as it took time away from focusing on his craft. Dave always wanted to work for a construction company, and Forge was the perfect fit. Now Dave not only spends more time working with his hands, he also gets to teach and train the next generation, one of his favorite parts of his job today.

Josh

Crew Lead - Carpentry

After doing everything from masonry to facilities management for various companies, Josh realized what was missing in his career: the opportunity to focus on the kind of work he loves while sharpening his skills and teaching them to others — which is exactly what he found at Forge.

As someone who has been in a lot of construction companies, Forge is the most unique construction company I’ve ever been in.

Meet

Peter

Supervisor - Electrical

Peter owned and operated his own electrical business for almost 20 years. As it grew, he had to devote more and more time to administrative chores. He drifted away from his craft until he finally knew it was time for a change. He joined the Forge team so he could have stability and spend 100% of his time doing what he loves: working with his hands.

I bring my best self to every job that I do, big or small, and I believe that makes all the difference. I take a lot of pride in paying attention to the little details and providing the best quality of work possible.

Junior Crew Lead

With some professional trades experience, Alex was just looking for a company where he could grow his career as a carpenter. So he completed our apprentice program and worked on the specialized window crew for about a year, where he trained under one of our carpentry supervisors to develop his skills. Alex now leads one of our window crews and helps less experienced Forge team members grow themselves.

My first experience with carpentry was when I would help my grandfather build pieces of furniture. That is what led me to becoming a carpenter and working with Forge. I really enjoy the precision and attention to detail that finish carpentry requires.

Junior Carpenter

Autumn always enjoyed working with her hands, so when she discovered the Forge apprentice program, she decided to give construction a try. Since Autumn didn’t have any prior experience, the apprentice program was a great introduction to the industry and provided her a solid onramp to a long term career in construction.

I chose Forge because the company is dedicated to keeping the trades alive.

Apprentice Program Coordinator

Brittany had a great career in healthcare, but she always wanted to work with her hands. Forge was perfect because our apprentice program provided her with an income while she was trained in new skills — and not having to pay tuition meant she was able to support her family as she started her new career journey.

The desire to dismantle the artificial barriers for women in the trades empowers me to show up every day.
