Construction Foreman - $25–$32 per Hour + OvertimeBonuses
Landscape Management Group | Central Ohio
Tired of Leading Crews Without Clear Rewards or Growth?
At most construction companies, moving up into leadership depends on who you know, luck, or taking on extra stress without compensation. LMG is building something different. We created the LMG Foreman CareerPay System-a clear, objective pathway that evaluates and rewards you based on your leadership, jobsite planning, quality control, safety, and crew results. You will always know where you stand, what skills you need to develop, and exactly what it takes to reach the next pay tier.
What You Can Earn
$25–$32 per hour, plus overtime and quarterly bonuses
Starting pay is based on your proven construction skills, field experience, and demonstrated leadership ability. If you are joining us from another crew, you will not be required to take a pay cut to enter the Foreman track.
Foreman Pay Levels
-
Level 1: Foreman in Training | $25–$27 per hour
-
Level 2: Foreman | $28–$29 per hour
-
Level 3: Advanced Foreman | $30–$31 per hour
-
Level 4: Senior Foreman | $32 per hour
Quarterly Performance Bonus
Foremen can earn up to $1,500 per quarter ($6,000/year) based on crew performance, hitting deadlines, maintaining high quality, customer satisfaction, and safe project execution.
Clear Pay Reviews
Every new Foreman completes a 30-day field validation period to demonstrate their daily planning, plan reading, and crew leadership. After that, progress and compensation are reviewed on a predictable schedule:
-
After your first 30 days
-
On Day 90
-
Every 90 days after that
What We Build
LMG builds complete outdoor-living spaces throughout Central Ohio. Our projects include:
-
Fiberglass and Biodesign pools
-
Paver patios and walkways
-
Retaining walls and outdoor kitchens
-
Poured and stamped concrete
-
Wood and composite decks
-
Fencing, pergolas, pavilions, and outdoor structures
-
Drainage, grading, and excavation
-
Landscape installation, lighting, irrigation, and specialty systems
A Foreman does not need to know how to build everything on day one, but you must understand how to read plans, plan daily work, use equipment, and guide your crew to execute quality work safely.
What Makes This Opportunity Different?
A great laborer does great work. A great Foreman helps the entire crew do great work.
At LMG, the Foreman role is a distinct leadership path with clear expectations. You are responsible for:
-
The Plan: Setting daily production goals, organizing tools/materials, and running the schedule.
-
The Crew: Assigning tasks, giving clear instructions, keeping people working efficiently, and developing less-experienced laborers.
-
The Quality: Catching errors early, avoiding preventable rework, and protecting customer property.
-
The Communication: Keeping Project Managers informed, completing daily logs/photos, and handling field interactions with customers professionally.
If you prove your ability to run successful jobs, your career path continues toward Project Manager and Company Leadership.
Who We Are Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you:
-
Have a valid driver's license and can safely drive and back up a truck and trailer
-
Possess strong outdoor construction experience (hardscaping, concrete, carpentry, excavation, or general construction)
-
Can read plans, measurements, and project details
-
Lead by setting a positive example, holding crew members accountable, and treating people with respect
-
Identify problems early and communicate with Project Managers before delays or mistakes happen
-
Safely operate equipment (skid steers, track loaders, mini-excavators)
-
Take full ownership of your crew's daily output and jobsite safety
This Probably Is Not for You If...
-
You blame the crew or external factors instead of taking responsibility for jobsite results
-
You rush through work, leaving mistakes or poor quality for someone else to fix
-
You struggle to arrive on time, keep daily records, or complete basic field paperwork/photos
-
You struggle with open communication or hesitate to ask for help before making costly errors
-
You expect top-level Foreman pay without proving you can run a job without constant supervision
