The Company

An established Houston heavy civil contractor is looking for an experienced Pipe Foreman to lead a crew on water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer projects across the city. They build the infrastructure Houston runs on, with utility, structural, roadway, and highway work for clients including TxDOT, the City of Houston, Harris County, and the Harris County Toll Road Authority.

This is a stable, people-first outfit. The leadership team has worked together for over 30 years, which tells you a lot about how they treat their people. Work is steady, with active projects running now at Generation Park, Beltway 8, and Katy, and new work lined up behind them. This is a long-term career seat, not a one-project gig.

About the Role

We're looking for a working foreman who came up on the pipe and knows how to run a crew. You'll own daily pipe installation from the first cut to final inspection: crew coordination, production, safety, and quality.

We want someone who can do all of it: water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer. If you know your footage, keep your guys safe in the trench, and build it right the first time, this is a great fit. The interview process is simple: one in-person interview at the office, with no endless rounds.

Responsibilities

• Lead a full pipe crew (operators, pipelayers, and laborers) on water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer installations
• Plan and run daily operations to hit production targets and keep projects on schedule
• Keep the crew safe in and around the trench every day, following trench and excavation safety practices
• Set and check grade, read plans and cut sheets, and make sure work passes inspection the first time
• Handle tie-ins, manholes, inlets, and testing
• Coordinate with superintendents and project managers on schedule, materials, and equipment

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a foreman on water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer installation
• Municipal, MUD, or site utility experience
• Strong knowledge of underground utility construction and trench safety
• Reliable transportation and a willingness to work in the field

Preferred

• Deep sanitary and large-diameter RCP experience
• OSHA Competent Person (trench and excavation)
• City of Houston, Harris County, TxDOT, or MUD project experience
• Bilingual in English and Spanish
