Foreman - Home Improvement

ElkHead Construction Company is hiring an experienced working foreman to supervise our home improvement and maintenance crews. We need someone who can lead employees, organize jobs, solve problems, and work alongside the crew to deliver quality results on schedule.

Pay starts at $35 per hour, with performance bonuses that can bring total earnings up to $58 per hour. Bonuses depend on keeping projects on schedule, meeting reasonable turnaround times, keeping your crew productive, and producing quality work.

We have good earning opportunities for someone who knows the work, leads effectively, and follows through.

Our projects include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring installation, wall patching, painting, and general apartment and home maintenance.

As foreman, you will:

• Assign daily work and make sure each employee understands the scope, expectations, and completion schedule.
• Plan the sequence of work and have materials, tools, and equipment ready when needed.
• Supervise employees while actively helping complete projects.
• Inspect preparation, workmanship, and finished work; catch problems early and make sure corrections are completed.
• Keep jobs moving within approved labor hours, material budgets, and turnaround times.
• Coordinate material pickups and deliveries to reduce unnecessary trips and downtime.
• Track employee time, job progress, materials, and changes accurately through our phone apps.
• Communicate with management about delays, unexpected conditions, customer concerns, and work requiring additional approval.
• Maintain safe, organized jobsites and protect customers’ homes and belongings.

You must have:

• Proven hands-on experience in remodeling, repairs, and property maintenance.
• Experience supervising workers and holding a crew accountable for quality, productivity, and attendance.
• The ability to read a scope of work, take accurate measurements, plan a job, and carry it through completion.
• Your own tools and your own truck.
• Strong judgment, practical problem-solving skills, and clear communication.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities without losing track of unfinished work.
• Confidence using a smartphone and work-related apps.

Our bidding, invoicing, time reporting, and job documentation are handled through apps. You must be able to use these systems accurately and make sure your crew keeps its information current.

We expect you to arrive with the trade skills and supervisory experience needed to lead. You should know what properly completed work looks like and be able to explain expectations clearly, recognize when a job is falling behind, and take action.

If you assign someone to paint a wall, you are responsible for making sure the preparation, protection, painting, and cleanup are done correctly. The same level of ownership applies to every project your crew handles.

We’re looking for a dependable leader who respects the crew, sets clear expectations, follows through, and takes pride in the finished job.

To apply, send a summary of your remodeling and supervisory experience, the types of projects and crew sizes you have managed, and confirmation that you have your own tools and truck.
