What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fence Installation Foreman – Piece-Rate / Pay-Per-Job position at Freedom Fence?
Fence Installation Foreman – Performance / Piece-Rate Pay
Freedom Fence LLC
Freedom Fence is looking for an experienced Fence Installation Foreman who wants the opportunity to earn based on production, efficiency, and leadership rather than simply getting paid by the hour.
Get Paid Like an Owner
This is not a traditional hourly foreman position.
Each fence project is assigned a predetermined labor budget. As the foreman, you take responsibility for managing that labor budget and completing the project successfully.
Freedom Fence handles payroll for all employees. The wages and applicable employer labor costs for the laborer(s) assigned to your crew are charged against the project's labor budget.
After successful completion of the job, the remaining amount in the labor budget determines your piece-rate compensation for that project, subject to applicable wage and overtime laws.
That means your earning potential is directly connected to your ability to:
- Complete projects efficiently
- Plan and manage your crew effectively
- Maintain excellent workmanship
- Minimize wasted labor and unnecessary return trips
- Train and develop productive crew members
- Complete the job correctly the first time
The more efficiently you run your projects while maintaining Freedom Fence quality standards, the greater your earning potential.
We provide the jobs, materials, equipment, systems, and support. You take ownership of the installation.
What You'll Do
As a Fence Installation Foreman, you will be responsible for the field installation of your assigned projects from start to finish.
Responsibilities include:
- Lead, train, and manage fence installers and laborers
- Review project scope, measurements, layouts, and specifications
- Plan the crew and labor needed to efficiently complete each project
- Manage the project's assigned labor budget
- Lay out fence lines, gates, posts, and elevations accurately
- Install residential and commercial fencing
- Operate post drivers, augers, skid steers, and other construction equipment
- Safely drive company trucks and tow trailers
- Coordinate materials, tools, and equipment needed for each project
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site
- Communicate professionally with customers while on site
- Handle normal field questions and customer contacts
- Identify problems early and communicate issues that could affect scope, cost, or schedule
- Protect company vehicles, tools, equipment, and materials
- Inspect completed work for quality
- Complete punch-list or correction items when necessary
- Leave every project ready for final customer acceptance
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who doesn't need to be constantly supervised.
You should be someone who can be handed a project and take ownership of getting it completed safely, correctly, efficiently, and professionally.
The right person will be:
- Highly self-motivated
- Production and results driven
- A strong crew leader
- Able to train and develop less-experienced employees
- Good with customers and people
- Organized and able to plan ahead
- Focused on both quality AND efficiency
- Comfortable making decisions in the field
- Able to solve problems without immediately needing someone else to fix them
- Dependable and accountable
- Able to maintain accurate job information and communicate progress
- Someone who takes pride in their finished product
Experience with chain link, cedar/wood, vinyl, ornamental, agricultural, and commercial fencing is highly desirable.
Compensation – Your Performance Matters
This position uses a piece-rate / production-based compensation system.
Each project has a defined labor budget. Crew labor costs are deducted from that project's labor budget, and the remaining amount is used to determine the foreman's piece-rate earnings upon successful completion.
Freedom Fence handles employee payroll, required payroll deductions, employer obligations, and any adjustments necessary to comply with applicable wage-and-hour laws.
There is significant earning potential for an experienced foreman who can consistently produce high-quality work efficiently.
We don't believe an exceptional foreman who can safely complete a quality project in less time should automatically earn less simply because they worked fewer hours.
Run an efficient crew. Produce excellent work. Finish the job right. Get rewarded for your performance.
