We are looking for a highly experienced and organized General Foreman to oversee and coordinate the operations of multiple construction crews on-site. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in construction management, excellent leadership skills, and the ability to ensure that all work is completed safely, on time, and within budget. As a General Foreman, you will be responsible for supervising foremen and their teams, managing schedules, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and maintaining quality standards across all phases of construction projects.
The General Foreman plays a critical role in bridging the gap between project management and field operations. You will work closely with project managers, engineers, subcontractors, and laborers to ensure that all aspects of the construction process run smoothly. Your ability to communicate effectively, solve problems quickly, and lead by example will be essential to the success of the projects under your supervision.
Key duties include planning daily work activities, assigning tasks to foremen, monitoring progress, and making adjustments as needed to meet deadlines. You will also be responsible for conducting safety meetings, inspecting work for quality assurance, and reporting progress to upper management. A strong understanding of construction methods, materials, and equipment is essential, as is the ability to read and interpret blueprints and technical drawings.
This position requires a proactive and hands-on approach, with a focus on maintaining high standards of workmanship and fostering a culture of safety and accountability. The successful candidate will be a natural leader who can motivate teams, resolve conflicts, and drive productivity in a fast-paced environment.
If you are a seasoned construction professional with a passion for leadership and a commitment to excellence, we encourage you to apply for this challenging and rewarding role.
