Travel Commercial Foreman

Travel Commercial Foreman

Tired of being the person everyone depends on while working for a company that barely notices what you bring to the table?

You know how to run a crew. You can look at a set of plans, look at a jobsite, and figure out what needs to happen next. When problems show up, you don't stand around waiting for someone else to solve them.

But maybe you're ready for something more.

What would it look like to take that experience somewhere you can lead, travel, build impressive projects across the country, and create a better future for yourself and your family?

At Empire , we're looking for a Travel Commercial Foreman who takes pride in being the person others can count on.

Is This You?

You're a builder and a leader.

You don't need someone constantly telling you what to do. You plan ahead, communicate with your crew, hold people accountable, and aren't afraid to jump in alongside them when the work needs to get done.

You have grit when the days get long.

You believe loyalty goes both ways.

You do the right thing when nobody is watching because integrity matters to you.

You bring a positive mindset when a project throws something unexpected your way.

And while you work hard, you also believe in enjoying the journey .

That's how our people live. When they're not building, you'll find members of our team hunting, fishing, following sports, racing, spending time outdoors, or making memories with their families.

Could Empire be the place where your career finally fits the life you're trying to build?

What You'll Take Ownership Of

As a Travel Commercial Foreman, you'll lead crews installing multiple styles of commercial fence, railing, gates, and related systems at projects across the country.

• Complete crew evaluations, including 60-day and other performance evaluations.
• Handle corrective actions when necessary.
• Help your crew understand not only what needs to happen, but why .
• Lead by example every day.

This isn't a position for someone who simply wants the title of Foreman. We're looking for someone who wants the responsibility that comes with it.

That's why Empire pays for your hotel while traveling and provides $60 per day in per diem on top of your wages.

You'll earn $26.00-$35.00 per hour , depending on experience, while having the opportunity to grow your leadership skills, see different parts of the country, take on bigger projects, and build a career instead of simply collecting another paycheck.

The Job You Have—or the Career You Want?

Maybe you're already a Foreman.

Maybe you're the unofficial leader on your crew and you're ready for a company willing to recognize what you're capable of.

Either way, we're looking for someone who wants to build something bigger than the next project.

At Empire, our core values aren't words we hang on a wall. They're expectations for how we work and how we treat each other:

Grit. Loyalty. Enjoying the Journey. Integrity. Positive Mindset.

If those sound like you, there's one question worth asking:

What could your career look like if you brought everything you have to a company that expects—and values—it?
