Job Description Summary

Lead Fence Installer - Richmond, VA

Lead from the Front. Drive the Crew. Build Richmond's Infrastructure.

Are you a hands-on leader who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves, work alongside your team, and take ownership of a job site? Sunbelt Rentals is looking for a Lead Fence Installer to lead temporary fencing setup and breakdown projects across the Richmond metro area.

In this role, you aren't just sitting in a truck delegating-you're out on the field working shoulder-to-shoulder with your crew while serving as the primary lead on the job site. You'll also take the wheel of our non-CDL company trucks to safely haul equipment, fencing materials, and your team to and from jobsites.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead by Example: Work alongside your installation crew to safely build, install, and tear down temporary fencing and barricades according to project specs.
  
• Job Site Ownership: Serve as the main point of contact on-site, coordinate with clients, manage daily tasks, and ensure high-quality, on-time completion.
  
• Crew Management & Safety: Supervise, train, and mentor crew members. Set a high bar for site safety, conduct site checklists, and feel empowered to call a "Safety Time Out" whenever necessary.
  
• Drive & Logistics: Safely operate non-CDL company vehicles (such as 1-ton trucks) to transport your crew, equipment, and materials, ensuring all loads are secured to DOT standards.
  
• Documentation & Detail: Complete daily job reports, site checklists, and inventory logs accurately.
  

What We're Looking For

• Hands-On Leadership: Proven ability to motivate a team, manage site workflow, and lead under tight deadlines.
  
• Driving Record: Valid driver's license with a clean Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) suitable to clear background checks for operating company vehicles.
  
• Physical Stamina: Ability to perform heavy physical labor outdoors in various weather conditions, including lifting and carrying fence panels (approx. 50-80 lbs).
  
• Technical Skills: Comfortable using hand and power tools (drills, post drivers, power washers, banding equipment). Forklift or 1-ton truck experience is a strong plus!
  
• Reliability: Own reliable transportation to report to the Richmond branch.
  

Why Join Sunbelt Rentals in Richmond?

• Competitive pay with full-time hours (40 scheduled hours/week).
  
• Solid career growth opportunities within an industry-leading organization.
  
• A collaborative culture where your hard work and safety-first mindset are valued every day.
