We are looking for an experienced, dependable Field Foreman to lead our crews on residential house lifting projects. This is a hands-on leadership position responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations on the job site and ensuring each project is completed safely, efficiently, and according to project specifications.

- As the Foreman, you will oversee the crew and manage the day-to-day work involved in safely raising and supporting residential structures.
- Responsible for preparing job sites for lifts, coordinating the placement and positioning of hydraulic jacks, steel beams, cribbing, and other lifting equipment, and ensuring the crew is following proper procedures throughout each stage of the project.
- Identify field conditions or problems and communicate them promptly to Project Management.
- Maintain communication with Project Management and Operations regarding job progress, delays, additional work, and manpower needs.
- Manage and develop employees assigned to the crew, including productivity, attendance, conduct, and performance.
- Ensure company equipment and tools are properly used, maintained, and accounted for.
- projects moving forward and address issues that arise on the job site.
- Manage project labor hours and crew productivity against the planned hours for the job.
