Full Job Description

Underground Utility General Foreman

We are seeking an experienced Underground Utility General Foreman to lead underground wet‑utility crews and take full ownership of field production, coordination, and day‑to‑day execution. This role is for a true field leader—someone who understands underground utility construction, anticipates needs, organizes people and equipment effectively, and drives safe, high‑quality production from start to finish.

Position Overview

The General Foreman is responsible for delivering underground wet‑utility projects safely, correctly, and on schedule. This includes planning daily work, setting production goals, coordinating manpower and equipment, ensuring materials and inspections are ready when needed, and maintaining accountability across all field personnel. The ideal candidate thinks several steps ahead, identifies obstacles early, and keeps crews productive without compromising safety or workmanship.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

Lead underground wet‑utility projects from mobilization through completion.
Establish daily/weekly production targets and ensure crews meet them.
Coordinate plumbers/pipefitters, operators, laborers, subcontractors, and equipment.
Plan work sequences, manage job pacing, and minimize downtime.
Oversee installation of water mains, fire mains, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, hydrants, valves, vaults, and related systems.
Enforce trench safety, competent‑person requirements, and OSHA standards.
Ensure proper bedding, installation, restraint, backfill, compaction, and grade control.
Review drawings and specifications; communicate field conditions and schedule impacts promptly.
Maintain high workmanship standards while driving production and meeting schedule goals.

Qualifications

10+ years of underground wet‑utility or heavy‑civil experience; strong field leadership preferred.
Proven ability to manage crews, equipment, materials, inspections, and daily production.
Strong knowledge of ductile iron, C900/C909, MJ fittings, restraints, valves, hydrants, bedding/backfill, and utility installation practices.
Ability to read plans, understand elevations/grades, and plan work efficiently.
Effective communication with field teams, inspectors, project managers, and general contractors.
Experience with underground utility, site, water/sewer, or fire‑main contractors is highly desirable.

Health insurance

401k

PTO / holidays

What Success Looks Like

A successful General Foreman knows the production target for the day, understands whether the crew is ahead or behind, anticipates tomorrow’s material needs, keeps equipment working, identifies issues before they become delays, and maintains safety and quality while increasing production. This role requires someone who owns the job in the field and delivers results—not just activity.

Ideal Candidate

You are a seasoned underground‑utility professional who has earned leadership through knowledge, preparation, consistency, and accountability. You think ahead, communicate clearly, solve problems proactively, and treat each project as if its success is personally yours to deliver.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
