General Foreman – Precast Concrete Fence Installation
Location: Pomona, CA | Projects throughout Southern California
Pay: $92,500–$124,500 per year, plus performance bonus and vehicle benefit
Most foreman positions make you choose between running the crew and managing the job. This position requires both—and that is exactly the point.
Concrete Fence Installers is growing its Southern California installation division. We are looking for an experienced General Foreman who can take ownership of the entire field operation: the crew, schedule, labor budget, jobsite safety, quality, documentation, and final customer walkthrough.
This is a hands-on field leadership position—not a desk-based project management role.
Who We Are
Concrete Fence Installers (CFI) is the installation division of American Precast Concrete, a vertically integrated manufacturer and installer of precast concrete fence and wall systems.
We manufacture our products at our Pomona and Hollister facilities and install them using our own crews. This gives our field teams direct access to production, scheduling, materials, and quality support.
Our Southern California crews operate from Pomona and complete projects throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, San Diego, and surrounding areas.
