At Tom's Backhoe & Excavation, we’re not looking for someone to simply fill a position. We’re looking for someone who wants to help us build the next chapter of our company.

Since 1977, we’ve been serving Maui through excavation, site development, underground utilities, septic systems, roadway improvements, and striping projects. We’re a growing company where good people can make a real difference.

When you work here, you’re not one of twenty foremen competing for attention. You’ll work directly with company leadership, have a voice in how projects are run, and be surrounded by a team that wants to see each other succeed.

What You’ll Own

• Lead daily field operations on civil construction projects
• Coordinate crews, equipment, and materials
• Read and interpret plans and specifications
• Set grade and verify work quality
• Oversee installation of sewer, water, storm drain, and underground utilities
• Operate heavy equipment as needed
• Maintain safe, productive jobsites
• Communicate with Project Managers, inspectors, subcontractors, and customers
• Train and develop crew members
• Identify problems early and help implement solutions
• Take ownership of project outcomes

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of civil construction experience
• Previous foreman or crew leadership experience
• Experience reading plans and specifications
• Experience setting grade
• Underground utility installation experience
• Heavy equipment operating experience
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Valid driver’s license

Bonus Points For

• CDL
• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30
• Trench safety and shoring experience
• Commercial site development experience
• Roadway construction experience
• Striping experience

Why Tom’s Backhoe?

You’ll Have Real Influence

At larger companies, decisions often move slowly and good ideas get buried.

At Tom’s, your input matters. If you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it.

You’ll Have Support

We believe successful projects require teamwork from estimating through project completion.

Our foremen aren’t left to figure everything out alone. You’ll have support from project management, estimating, administration, and company leadership.

You’ll Work With Good People

We take pride in building a team of hardworking professionals who support each other, solve problems together, and genuinely enjoy what they do.

You’ll Build More Than Projects

You’ll help build crews, improve processes, mentor employees, and contribute to the future direction of the company.

Relocation Assistance Available

Not on Maui?

We’re open to finding the right person from the mainland.

For qualified candidates, relocation assistance may be available, including:

• Travel assistance
• Temporary housing assistance
• Relocation support
• Company vehicle during evaluation period

If you’re looking for a fresh start, a better quality of life, and an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to talk.

Compensation & Benefits

• $100,000 - $130,000+ annual earning potential
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with company match
