About the Role

E.N.A. Contracting is hiring a hands-on Working Construction Foreman to lead residential remodeling, addition, deck, property-maintenance and selected commercial projects.

This is not a desk-based project manager position. The successful candidate should expect to spend the workday performing or directly supervising fieldwork, coordinating employees and subcontractors, communicating with customers, reviewing project scope, documenting progress, and identifying material or scheduling needs.

The role is designed for an experienced remodeling professional who can keep a jobsite moving without requiring the Project Manager to be present throughout the day.

• Provide daily progress updates, photos and notes through Houzz or other company systems.
• Identify scope changes, hidden conditions and potential change orders.
• Obtain owner approval before performing work outside the approved scope.
• Assist with smaller material purchases and urgent jobsite needs within approved limits.
• Monitor progress against expected labor hours and completion targets.
• Help close out projects, punch lists and customer concerns.
• Support multiple jobsites or service needs when required.

Required Qualifications

• At least seven years of hands-on residential remodeling, carpentry or general construction experience.
• Prior experience as a foreman, lead carpenter, crew leader, or senior field employee.
• Working knowledge and experience with several of the following: 
• Framing, drywall, kitchens, baths, finish carpentry, flooring, tile, deck construction, cabinets, windows and doors, and Siding or exterior repairs
• Ability to guide a project from demolition through final completion.
• Ability to lead employees while remaining productive with tools.
• Strong problem-solving and quality-control judgment.
• Ability to communicate clearly with customers and subcontractors.
• Smartphone and basic computer proficiency.
• Ability to work safely at heights, on ladders and lifts, while climbing, bending, working in tight spaces, and carrying heavy construction materials.
• Ability to document job progress using photos, notes and project-management software.
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving eligibility if operating a company vehicle.
• Reliable attendance and ability to work independently.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading room additions, kitchens, bathrooms, decks or renovation projects valued above $50,000.
• Experience coordinating plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing or other subcontractors.
• Experience reviewing labor hours, material usage or project budgets.
• Basic estimating and change-order experience.
• Experience using Houzz, Buildertrend or similar construction software.
• OSHA, lift, fall-protection or manufacturer certifications.
• Experience mentoring junior employees and building crew capability.

Decision-Making Authority

• Assign daily work.

• Identify and document scope changes.
• Purchase materials within an approved limit.
