Job description

We’re stewards of the waters and ecosystems in our care. With a 50+ year legacy as one of the most trusted names in lake, pond, wetland, and stormwater management, we’ve helped shape healthier aquatic ecosystems across the Southeast, Mid-South, and Midwest.

From small community lakes to major municipal stormwater systems, we blend environmental science, regulatory expertise, and best-in-class service to protect your water — and everything around it.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Foreman to lead a two-person crew installing SOX shoreline erosion control solutions along coastlines, riverbanks, and waterfront properties across the Southeast. This is a physically demanding, outdoor field role for someone who thrives on job sites, takes pride in quality craftsmanship, and can run a small crew safely and efficiently while traveling to project locations throughout the region.

You’ll be on the front lines of protecting shorelines from erosion — installing living shoreline and erosion control systems in coastal, estuarine, and riverfront environments, often in heat, humidity, rain, and challenging terrain (mud, marsh, sand, water access).

What You’ll Do

• Lead and coordinate a two-person installation crew on daily job site operations
• Install SOX shoreline erosion control systems according to project plans and manufacturer specifications
• Perform manual labor including lifting, hauling, digging, staking, and material placement in coastal/wetland environments
• Read and interpret site plans, installation diagrams, and project scopes
• Ensure work is completed correctly, safely, and on schedule
• Conduct daily safety briefings (tailgate talks) and enforce jobsite safety protocols
• Operate and maintain hand tools, small equipment, and possibly UTVs/boats for site access
• Communicate daily progress, site conditions, and any issues to the Project/Operations Manager
• Track materials, tools, and equipment needed for each job and ensure proper inventory on site
• Maintain accurate daily job records (photos, logs, hours, material usage)
• Travel to job sites throughout FL, GA, SC, and potentially other southeastern states, including overnight and extended stays as required
• Represent the company professionally when interacting with property owners, engineers, or site contacts

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years of experience in construction, landscaping, marine construction, erosion control, or similar outdoor field labor — with at least some crew lead/foreman experience
• Ability to perform sustained, physically demanding manual labor outdoors in hot, humid, and variable weather conditions
• Comfortable working in coastal/wetland terrain (mud, sand, marsh grass, shallow water)
• Experience leading or supervising a small crew (2+ people) preferred
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and ability to self-manage on remote job sites with minimal oversight
• Basic understanding of site plans/blueprints, or willingness to learn
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record (required for towing equipment/trailers and extensive travel)
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively across the Southeast, including overnight stays away from home
• Strong communication skills — comfortable reporting progress and issues to management
• OSHA 10/30 certification a plus, but not required (training can be provided)
• Experience with shoreline stabilization, erosion control, marine construction, or environmental restoration is a strong plus
• Spanish speaking a plus

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift and carry 50+ lbs regularly
• Ability to stand, bend, kneel, and work in water/mud/uneven terrain for extended periods
• Comfortable working full days outdoors in southeastern heat, humidity, sun, and occasional rain
• Ability to travel by vehicle for extended distances and remain on-site for multi-day assignments

What We Offer

• Competitive pay, commensurate with experience
• Company vehicle, tools, and equipment provided
• Opportunity to lead a growing crew with room for advancement as the company expands
• Work that directly protects coastlines and the environment — meaningful, hands-on impact
