The Opportunity : You will serve as a high-impact leader, balancing technical mastery of massive steel skeletons with the ability to drive a crew toward precision and efficiency.

• Interpret complex blueprints, shop drawings, and manufacturer manuals to guide the crew through precise installation phases.

• Facilitate hands-on leadership by setting columns, aligning rafters, and leading the "hooking" of structural steel.

• Manage site safety by conducting daily toolbox meetings and enforcing strict OSHA compliance for fall protection and equipment usage.

• Utilize modern jobsite technology including CompanyCam and Autodesk to document progress, track RFIs, and manage digital blueprints.

• Oversee quality control by inspecting all structural connections, ensuring proper bolt torque, and verifying weatherproofing applications.

• Coordinate directly with Project Managers to report daily progress, resolve field conflicts, and manage material requirements.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in metal building erection (PEMB), steel erection, or metal framing.

• Proven leadership experience, successfully managing field crews for at least 2 years.

• High level of digital literacy with the ability to use iPads and smartphones for daily reporting and labor tracking.

• Current OSHA 10 certification at a minimum with a deep commitment to crew safety.

• Physical stamina for high-altitude steel work and the ability to work in various outdoor weather conditions.

• Possession of a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to navigate to various job sites.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience:

• Experience with specialized project management software such as QuickBooks Time, CompanyCam, or Autodesk.

• Advanced technical knowledge of specialized Butler Manufacturing Systems or similar elite metal building products.

• High school diploma or GED equivalent.

• Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of anticipating field conflicts before they impact project timelines.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Weekly pay cycle with performance-based compensation and annual reviews.

• Eligibility for occasional overtime based on project demand and weather-related schedules.

• Comprehensive Paid Time Off (PTO) package reaching up to 4 weeks based on years of service.

• Eight paid holidays including a 2-day break for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

• Complete company-outfitted gear including t-shirts, heavy-duty sweatshirts, insulated winter coats, and FR apparel.

• Mentorship and career development opportunities through paid training and certifications.

• Participation in a customized benefits roadmap specifically designed for the workforce, launching in late 2026.
