We're looking for a Field Leader to oversee multiple commercial projects across the Greater Boston area. The Role Our Field Leaders don't run crews by being the boss. They develop the foremen who run them. You'll spend your days on our jobsites, keeping projects on schedule and on budget, representing Kaloutas to our GC partners, and helping our foremen grow into stronger leaders. If you'd rather coach a foreman through a problem than solve it for him, this is the role for you. What You'll Do Lead and develop people

• Coach and mentor foremen in leadership, communication, plan reading, and technical skills
• Find training opportunities that strengthen field performance and safety culture
• Build teamwork, accountability, and professionalism across your crews

Manage projects

• Plan job setups: equipment, materials, lifts, and manpower before work starts
• Take part in handoff meetings with Operations and Estimating so scope, schedule, and expectations are clear from day one
• Coordinate daily schedules across crews and subcontractors
• Track and document scope changes and additional work

Own the numbers

• Manage budgets for every project you oversee, including hours, materials, and production targets
• Track manpower hours against budget and report cost-to-complete, flagging concerns early
• Work with the Operations Manager weekly on performance and manpower allocation

Build client relationships

• Serve as Kaloutas's on-site representative with GCs and superintendents
• Communicate progress, schedule changes, and field needs clearly and professionally
• Resolve issues collaboratively and protect our reputation for reliability and quality

Keep jobs safe and right

• Enforce OSHA and company safety standards, and make sure weekly toolbox talks happen
• Conduct weekly quality checks against company standards and project specs

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in commercial painting, including at least 2 years as a foreman
• Lift/aerial certification (scissor lift and boom lift)
• Experience working directly with general contractors and site superintendents
• A coaching-first leadership style
• Working knowledge of project budgets, manpower planning, and production tracking
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable with email and project tracking tools (we use Smartsheet)
• Valid driver's license
• Located within about 30 minutes of Boston

Preferred

• OSHA 30 certification

What We Offer

• $65,000$76,000 annual salary, based on experience
• Performance bonus
• Company vehicle
• Paid time off
• Benefits package
