This role is ideal for someone who can run a crew, read plans, coordinate daily work, communicate clearly, and keep projects moving. We need leaders who can manage field production while also developing skilled laborers into stronger long-term team members.

Pay is based on skill, leadership level, and crew responsibility. A foreman managing a smaller crew may start lower in the range, while someone able to lead larger teams, more complex projects, or multiple trade scopes may qualify toward the higher end.

• Assign tasks, set expectations, monitor quality, and keep crews moving efficiently.
• Communicate material, equipment, labor, and scheduling needs to project managers and leadership.
• Track daily progress, jobsite issues, delays, and field updates.
• Maintain safe, organized jobsites and reinforce proper PPE and safety practices.
• Help identify, train, and develop skilled laborers with leadership or trade potential.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience leading construction crews or managing daily field operations.
• Strong general construction knowledge across multiple trades.
• Ability to read plans and translate them into daily field execution.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage quality, schedule, safety, and crew productivity.
• Comfort working on a mix of new construction, remodel, site development, and light commercial-style projects.
• Reliable, accountable, and able to lead by example in the field.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• 5–10+ years of construction experience.
• Prior foreman, lead carpenter, superintendent, crew lead, or field manager experience.
• Experience with cabins, residential construction, metal buildings, quadplexes, remodels, or commercial support structures.
• Experience managing 5–10+ workers.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Class E or CDL.
• Bilingual English/Spanish.

• Training and certification opportunities, including OSHA, fall protection, equipment lifts, and safety training.
• Paid training, mentorship, and advancement opportunities.
• Clear growth path into larger crew leadership, superintendent, or project leadership roles based on results.
