What to Expect

If you’re the kind of person who takes pride in getting work done right the first time — and you like being trusted to lead crews, run equipment, and keep a job moving without chaos — you’ll fit in here.

At Fahs, Site Foremen are hands‑on leaders. You’ll run a mix of equipment, coordinate daily tasks, maintain grades, and keep quality, production, and safety tight. You’re the one everyone on site looks to when something needs to get figured out, sequenced, or fixed.

You will work closely with a Project Superintendent and Project Manager, but you won’t be micromanaged. We respect field leadership and listen when you say something will or won’t work. We value organized jobs, clear plans, safe work methods, and well‑maintained equipment — because that’s what lets field crews perform at their best.

As a 100% employee‑owned company, strong work, smart decisions, and efficient execution directly support long‑term success — including your ESOP benefit. This isn’t just a paycheck. It’s ownership, stability, and real pride in the projects you build.

How to Know You Should Apply

You’re a strong match if you:

• Lead crews naturally and don’t shy away from responsibility
• Like running equipment and being part of production — not just supervising from a distance
• Understand drawings, grades, tolerances, ADA requirements, and utilities
• Keep an organized, safe, and productive jobsite
• Communicate well with supers, PMs, trades, suppliers, and inspectors
• Know how to solve problems, sequence work, and keep everything moving
• Care about doing clean, accurate work and leaving a site better than you found it
• Want steady work, local/regional jobs, substantial benefits, and long‑term upside through ownership

What You’ll Do

• Perform hands‑on field work and equipment operation
• Lay out and maintain accurate grades and ADA tolerances
• Operate excavators, loaders, dozers, rollers, skid steers, and other heavy equipment
• Support excavation, backfilling, ditching, grading, demolition, and base prep
• Manage jobsite work sequencing and help plan day‑to‑day tasks
• Coordinate and verify material deliveries and placement
