Construction Concrete Foreman

Job Description

Job Description

Are you a Superintendent who knows how to run concrete and civil work—and expects the job to be done right?

At McGrath, our Superintendents lead from the field. You’ll be responsible for driving production, managing crews, and delivering high-quality work across civil and concrete projects.

We self-perform a significant amount of our concrete work—including foundations, site utilities, and deep foundations—and we’re looking for someone who can lead that effort on-site.

What you’ll actually be doing:

• Leading day-to-day field operations on civil and concrete projects
• Managing self-perform crews (concrete, grading, utilities)
• Coordinating subcontractors and jobsite activities
• Driving project schedules, sequencing, and production
• Ensuring safety, quality, and productivity on-site

• Handling field reporting, documentation, and coordination with PMs
• Supporting minor estimating and change order work
• Building strong relationships with clients and trade partners

Why Foreman choose McGrath:

• You’re trusted to run the job – not micromanaged from the office
• Employee-owned company – your work directly impacts your future
• Strong pipeline of work – steady, meaningful projects
• Self-perform capabilities – real control over your jobsite
• A team that values integrity, accountability, and doing things right

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience leading civil and concrete construction projects
• Strong knowledge of:
  • Concrete (foundations, flatwork, deep foundations)
  • Grading and site utilities
• Ability to manage crews, schedules, and jobsite logistics
• Strong leadership—someone crews respect and follow
• Ability to read and interpret construction plans and specifications
• Strong communication with field teams, PMs, and clients
• OSHA 30 certification

Bonus if you have:

• Experience in industrial or heavy civil construction
• Background in self-perform concrete work
• Experience with scheduling software

What you get:

• Union position (Carpenters or Laborers)
• Company vehicle (based on eligibility)
• Paid time off + holidays
• Long-term, stable work with a respected contractor
• A company that supports and values strong field leadership

Final thought:

If you’re a Superintendent who:

• Knows how to run concrete and civil work the right way
• Takes pride in a clean, safe, and productive jobsite
• Wants steady work with a team that backs you
