Construction Supervisor I

Are you an experienced construction supervisor who's tired of chasing subs, waiting on payments, and riding the boom-and-bust cycle of private construction and ready to bring your trades experience to steady, mission-driven work? As a Direct Construction Supervisor I with CAL FIRE's Northern Region, you'll step into a hands‑on field supervisory role leading state construction crews as they build, renovate, and maintain the facilities that support CAL FIRE's mission. This position is built for a supervisor who came up through the trades, knows how construction actually gets done, and is ready to lead a crew where the work is real and the projects matter. This role is ideal for a construction supervisor who can balance technical trade expertise with strong crew leadership. You'll oversee direct‑hire construction crews, coordinate project scheduling, ensure quality and code compliance, manage materials and equipment, and serve as the on‑the‑ground leader for construction and maintenance projects across CAL FIRE's Northern Region facilities. Fire stations, training centers, conservation camps, regional admin buildings, the work is varied, and your crews will touch buildings that CAL FIRE relies on for decades. This position is based in Sacramento, California and is a permanent, full‑time supervisory role. Expect travel to project sites across the Northern Region, hands‑on field presence, and the kind of project variety that keeps the work interesting. This isn't just a construction job. It's a chance to bring your years in the trades into a role where every building you help complete supports the crews who protect California, without the private sector grind that comes with running projects for someone else's bottom line. Why CAL FIRE? State benefits including health, dental, vision, and retirement Permanent, full‑time career opportunity Steady year‑round work compared to private construction cycles Direct crew leadership on varied, meaningful construction projects Opportunity to move from field supervision into further construction management roles within state government Mission driven team culture focused on service, readiness, and stewardship of public resources Sacramento County offers a strong mix of urban convenience, government employment density, and proximity to some of California's best outdoor escapes. As the state capital, Sacramento is the operational hub for much of California's public sector work, including CAL FIRE's headquarters and Northern Region operations. With a lower cost of living than the Bay Area or Southern California, easy access to Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada, the Northern California coast, and the wine regions of Napa and Sonoma, Sacramento County is a strong fit for experienced construction supervisors who want steady leadership work and a quality of life that isn't dominated by commute time. #J-18808-Ljbffr California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE)
