Job Title: General Foreman - Mountains

Job Description

This role leads commercial framing and drywall projects in a mountain environment, with a strong focus on supervising crews, coordinating work on site, and ensuring projects run safely, efficiently, and according to plans. The foreman spends the vast majority of time leading others and managing the job rather than performing hands-on work, stepping in on tools only when necessary during downtime.

Responsibilities

• Lead and supervise jobsite crews, spending approximately 95% of time directing others and running the project rather than performing manual labor.
• Plan and coordinate daily work activities to keep projects on schedule and aligned with project goals.
• Read and interpret structural and architectural blueprints and build directly from these plans.
• Oversee commercial metal framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling installations on projects such as hospitals, schools, multifamily buildings, and ski resort properties.
• Manage and oversee projects valued at $1 million or more, ensuring quality, safety, and budget adherence.
• Supervise teams of 20 or more workers, providing clear direction, coaching, and performance feedback.
• Serve in a client-facing capacity, representing the company professionally and communicating progress, issues, and solutions.
• Use computers or tablets to operate project-related software and applications, and to communicate with stakeholders.
• Coordinate with a second-in-command or trade expert when needed to ensure technical trade details are executed correctly.
• Ensure safe use of power tools, hand tools, and other construction equipment on site.
• Verify accurate measurements and layout using tape measures and other measuring tools.
• Monitor and enforce safety standards and jobsite cleanliness throughout the project.
• Collaborate with project management to support scheduling, resource allocation, and problem solving.
• Assist with general labor and hands-on framing or carpentry tasks only as needed during downtime or to support critical project milestones.

Essential Skills

• Proven experience as a lead foreman on construction jobsites.
• Ability to read and build directly from structural and architectural plans.
• 4–6 years of relevant construction experience in framing or related trades.
• Experience overseeing construction projects valued at $1 million or more.
• Experience supervising crews of 20 or more people.
• Strong experience in commercial construction, particularly metal framing, drywall, and acoustical ceilings.
• Ability to work effectively on projects such as hospitals, schools, multifamily buildings, and ski resorts.
• Proficiency in using computers or tablets to operate project-related programs and communicate with the team.
• Solid understanding of construction supervision and construction management practices.
• Competence in blueprint reading and applying plans to field execution.
• Hands-on knowledge of framing, rough carpentry, and finish carpentry.
• Ability to safely use power tools, hand tools, and measuring tools such as tape measures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Drywall installation and finishing experience is highly preferred.
• Experience with metal stud and steel framing in commercial environments.
• Experience in acoustical ceiling installation.
• Experience in industrial or commercial construction settings.
• Project management exposure or experience supporting field-level project coordination.
• General labor and carpentry experience across rough and finish scopes.
• Comfort representing the company in a client-facing role on active jobsites.
• Leadership potential is strongly valued; candidates with exceptional leadership abilities may be paired with a strong number two for trade-specific support.
• Growth mindset and interest in progressing toward a Superintendent career path.
• Ability to adapt to working in a mountain environment and on a variety of commercial project types.
