• Operate construction equipment when needed

• Work directly alongside the crew when required

• Identify field issues and develop practical solutions

• Anticipate upcoming project needs and help keep work moving efficiently

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on sitework or heavy civil construction experience

• Previous Foreman, Superintendent, Lead Operator, or similar leadership experience

• Strong knowledge of excavation, underground utilities, drainage, grading, and site construction

• Ability to read construction plans and understand layout, grades, and elevations

• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and field operations

• Experience coordinating crews, equipment, materials, and subcontractors

Compensation is competitive and based on experience.
