Traveling Construction Foreman

Job Description

Do you take pride in getting things done right, keeping a crew on track, and solving problems before they slow the job down? Are you looking for a construction company that still feels like family, even as we grow?

If that's you, let's talk.

As a Traveling Foreman at Stout, you'll work side-by-side with the onsite Superintendent to keep safety, schedule, and resources moving in the right direction — wherever the project takes you. You'll be the one keeping the crew focused, catching issues early, and making sure the details are right before they become expensive problems. At Stout, we want your hands-on experience and leadership to help set the pace for the whole team.

We're looking for someone who's dependable, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure — someone who leads by example on the ground and communicates clearly with everyone above and below them.

Right now, most of our projects are in the Intermountain West and Pacific Northwest, though our footprint keeps pushing east — so where this role takes you may keep expanding, too.

LIFE ON THE ROAD, MADE EASIER

Traveling for work is a big ask, and we know it isn't something everyone wants to take on. That's why Stout does everything it can to make sure being on the road doesn't mean being disconnected:

• Travel home twice a month, fully paid — or we'll cover a trip for your loved one to come visit you instead.
• Every travel and lodging expense covered, along with a daily meal per diem.
• You're never on an island: expect regular, ongoing check-ins with a mentor/coach (your Field Director), plus support from your project team.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES MAY INCLUDE:

• Partner with the onsite Superintendent to keep the job's safety, schedule, and resources on track.
• Follow all relevant safety regulations and perform regular safety inspections.
• Plan, implement, and manage day-to-day construction tasks in line with project priorities and goals.
• Resolve issues and problems as they come up, keeping the job moving smoothly.
• Coordinate labor and other resources to keep the crew productive.
• Double-check form dimensions ahead of concrete pours to confirm they match the construction plans.
• Schedule inspections.
• Roll up your sleeves for hands-on work, such as installing door frames.
• Occasionally run errands for jobsite supplies and tools.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, EXPERIENCE NEEDED:

You're comfortable reading plans and applying your knowledge of building codes and standard construction practices on the fly. You bring strong organizational skills and can juggle multiple priorities without losing track of the details.

You communicate clearly and confidently with everyone on a project — project managers, engineers, subcontractors, and local jurisdictions alike.

Because this role travels, you're ready to adapt to new jobsites, new crews, and new surroundings, and you take it in stride.

ROOM TO GROW:

This role isn't a dead end — it's a launching pad. Many of our Foremen grow into Superintendent roles within three years, with a Field Director invested in your development every step of the way.

REQUIRED:

• Willingness and ability to travel to job sites as needed.
• High school diploma or GED required; a bachelor's degree is a plus.
• 1+ years' experience as a Foreman/Supervisor leading a team in the construction industry.
• Familiarity reading plans and understanding building codes and standard construction practices.
• A valid driver's license and the ability to drive.
• Ability to perform physical tasks throughout the day (standing, walking, climbing, bending) and occasionally lift or move up to 50 pounds.
