Timber Framer
Timber Framers are a critical part of the organization that assist in the design, layout, joinery and raising of custom-built timber frame homes and structures. All framers work on site at the Lon Tyler Company workshop in Sweet Home, Oregon. The primary focus of timber framers within the Lon Tyler Company is to assist the team in the design, layout, fabrication of joinery and final raising of timber frame structures. All framers have a common metric focused on the quality of joinery and layout and the overall satisfaction of our customers in the construction of their timber frame home/structure.This is an entry level role that is crucial for the continued timely completion of contracts and jobs from customers of the Lon Tyler Company. Without skilled framers, throughput of refined timbers, frame layout, and fabrication of joinery would greatly decrease and result in less jobs completed annually.Due to the small size of Lon Tyler Company, timber framers are highly engaged in the entire process, from obtaining initial contracts, structural design, frame layout, fabrication of joinery, and frame raising. Under the guidance of framers with many years of craftsmanship experience, entry level timber framers will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to work independently to complete key steps in the framing process.Utilizing both traditional framing techniques that are hundreds of years old coupled with modern construction and design techniques, framers will assist the team in constructing timeless frames for homes and structures that inspire people for generations to come.
