Lead Fence Installer

Job Description

Job Description

Seaside Fence Company is growing, and we are looking for an experienced Lead Fence Installer / Crew Leader who wants more than just another construction job.

We are looking for someone who wants to help build a company.

The right person will work directly with the owner, lead the installation crew, help grow laborers into crew leaders, take ownership of jobs from start to finish, and help us develop the systems and standards that will allow Seaside Fence Company to grow throughout San Diego County.

If you are experienced, dependable, take pride in your craftsmanship, and want the opportunity to grow into greater leadership and responsibility as the company grows, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

As our Lead Fence Installer, you will be responsible for leading fence installations and making sure our jobs are completed safely, efficiently, professionally, and correctly the first time.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead a fence installation crew
• Install wood, vinyl, chain-link, ornamental iron/aluminum, and specialty fencing
• Install pedestrian and driveway gates
• Lay out fence lines and determine post locations
• Set posts accurately for line, grade, spacing, and elevation
• Measure, cut, assemble, and install fencing materials
• Read plans, measurements, scopes of work, and job instructions
• Identify field conditions or problems before they become expensive mistakes
• Communicate with customers and company management professionally
• Keep projects moving and crews productive
• Maintain a clean and organized jobsite
• Load, secure, transport, and care for materials, tools, and equipment
• Operate company vehicles and trailers when authorized
• Track materials and communicate shortages or additional needs
• Perform final quality-control inspections before leaving a job
• Help train and develop less-experienced installers
• Take ownership of the finished product
• Help bid jobs on occasion

Who We're Looking For

We aren't looking for someone who needs to be told every hour what to do.

We're looking for someone who can look at a fence project, understand the objective, organize the crew, solve problems, and get the job done correctly.

Strong candidates will have:

• Previous professional fence installation experience
• Experience leading a construction or fence crew
• Strong knowledge of fence layout and installation
• Experience with wood, vinyl, and chain-link fencing
• Experience installing gates
• Ability to accurately use levels, string lines, tape measures, saws, drills, post-hole equipment, and common construction tools
• Ability to perform physically demanding outdoor construction work
• Strong attention to detail
• Good communication skills
• Reliable attendance and punctuality
• A valid driver's license and acceptable driving record for company vehicle use
• A strong commitment to jobsite safety
• Willingness to learn and a humility to treat everyone with respect

Experience with board-on-board sandwich style, ornamental iron/aluminum, commercial fencing, HOA projects, FenceTrac, PostMaster systems, or specialty fire-resistant fencing is a plus.

This Is a Growth Position

Seaside Fence Company is in a growth stage. We aren't looking for someone to simply punch a clock and install fence for the next ten years. We want someone who can become an important part of what we're building.

For the right person, this position has the potential to grow from:

Crew Leader → Field Supervisor → Installation/Operations Manager

Greater responsibility should come with greater opportunity.

As we add crews, trucks, customers, and larger projects, we want to promote leadership from within whenever possible.

If you're the kind of person who sees a problem and fixes it, takes pride in teaching younger employees, cares about the reputation of the company whose name is on the truck, and wants to be able to look back several years from now and say, "I helped build this," you may be exactly who we're looking for.

What We Value

Craftsmanship — Build it right.

Integrity — Treat the job like your name is on the company, fix it before it's a problem.

Reliability — Show up when you say you will.

Community — We do it for the better of everyone.

Respect — Treat customers, coworkers, suppliers, and their property professionally.

Growth — Get better at the trade, leadership, and business.

Compensation

Competitive hourly compensation based on fence installation experience, leadership ability, and demonstrated skill. 401k and health insurance is coming for the right person.

We are willing to pay more for someone who can truly lead a crew, manage jobs, solve problems, and produce excellent work without constant supervision.

Full-time position with opportunities for increased compensation and advancement as the company grows.
