Lead Field Installer / Working Foreman
Are you a seasoned installer who loves to get your hands dirty but also has a knack for leadership? We're looking for a highly skilled Lead Field Installer / Working Foreman to join our team. In this role, you won't just supervise — you'll be on the tools every day, working alongside your crew, setting the standard for excellence and efficiency on every project.
If you have 7-10+ years of hands-on construction experience, deep technical knowledge across multiple trades and building systems, and a passion for mentoring junior staff, we want to hear from you.

Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and project plans to ensure precise execution
Lead and coordinate your installation team, fostering a collaborative, productive work environment
Ensure strict adherence to safety protocols, project specifications, and quality workmanship
Anticipate issues, troubleshoot on-site challenges, and implement solutions to keep projects on track
Communicate project progress, challenges, and directives to project and field managers via phone, email, and cloud-based platforms
Oversee daily site conditions, document progress, manage material flow, and assist with scheduling sub-trades and phases of work
Professionally interact with clients, homeowners, sub-trades, product reps, inspectors, and other stakeholders
What You Bring:
7-10+ years of hands-on experience
in construction or installation, with proven proficiency across tools and trade disciplines
Strong, broad construction knowledge
— you understand how different building systems and trade sequences fit together, not just your own specialty, and can speak confidently to methods, materials, and code requirements on site
Blueprint fluency
— comfortable reading and applying schematics and project plans without hand-holding
Proven leadership
— experience leading small teams and mentoring junior staff
Sharp organizational skills
— able to follow scopes of work, document site conditions, and manage daily progress independently
Strong communicator
, verbal and written, for both internal and client-facing interactions
Safety-first mindset
with a solid working knowledge of health and safety regulations and best practices
Adaptable and proactive
— thinks ahead and gets in front of problems before they become delays
Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
Physical capability for strenuous, hands-on installation work
High school diploma or equivalent; additional trade certifications/training an asset
