Looking for a Construction Foreman

LandCo Construction Services, a locally owned, family-oriented heavy civil construction firm, is seeking an experienced Construction Foreman to join our hardworking team and grow with us. The ideal candidate is a proactive, hands-on leader who thrives in the field, excels at managing small crews, and can operate heavy equipment with skill. This is a full-time, in-person position with competitive salary compensation based on experience. If you’re coachable, take pride in your work, and want to contribute to quality infrastructure projects, we’re looking for you.

About the Company

Landco is a small and growing civil construction firm that builds residential infrastructure for developers and new neighborhoods. We are a team of 20 people made up of office administrators, field operators, coordinators and laborers and mechanics. We are hard working, results-oriented, reliable, consistent, and a tight-knit team. We are proud of our work and the quality we offer.

Job Description, Responsibilities, and Measurements of Performance

As a Construction Foreman at LandCo, you’ll lead a small field crew to punch out job sites, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to high aesthetic standards. This hands-on role blends crew management with equipment operation, requiring you to keep your team on track while jumping in to get the job done. Here’s what you’ll do and how success is measured:
