What are the responsibilities and job description for the SOX Foreman position at AllWater?
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).
