Commercial Roofing Foreman

Job Overview


Hobson Fabricating Corp is a family-owned commercial contractor that has been building Boise since 1960, specializing in HVAC, architectural sheet metal, and low-slope commercial roofing. We're looking for an experienced Commercial Roofing Foreman to lead crews on active roofing projects, run the job site day-to-day, and deliver quality work safely and on schedule. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows commercial low-slope roofing inside and out and is ready to run a crew, not just work on one.

What You'll Do

Plan and lead daily roofing crew operations - sequencing work, assigning tasks, and keeping the job moving on schedule

Install and oversee installation of commercial low-slope roofing systems: TPO, single-ply membrane, and shingle

Direct heat-welding of membrane seams and detail work - penetrations, flashings, curbs, edge metal, and drains

Read and work from plans, specs, and roof details; flag discrepancies or field conditions that need a call before they become a problem

Own job site safety - enforce fall protection, run toolbox talks, and correct hazards on the spot

Coordinate material needs, deliveries, and equipment (scaffolding, ladders, lifts) with the office and Purchasing

Communicate directly with GCs, property owners, and Hobson's PM on progress, schedule, and any field issues

Track crew hours and job progress accurately for reporting back to the office

Train and mentor apprentices and journeymen on the crew; hold the crew accountable to quality and safety standards

Keep the job site clean, organized, and inspection-ready

What We Need From You

5+ years of commercial low-slope roofing experience, including lead or foreman-level experience running a crew

Strong TPO or single-ply membrane background - heat-welding, detail work, and troubleshooting in the field

Ability to read commercial roofing plans, specs, and details

Working knowledge of OSHA fall protection requirements and a track record of enforcing them

Comfortable directing a crew, coordinating with GCs, and communicating clearly with the office

Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

Able to lift 50 lbs and work at height, outdoors, in all weather conditions

Pass pre-employment drug screen and physical

At least 18 years old
