Construction Foreman (Demolition & Concrete Specialist)

Salary: $90,000 –$110,000

Location: Hartford, CT

We're looking for a working Foreman—a hands-on leader who can interpret blueprints, manage site logistics, and mentor a crew while keeping projects safe, on schedule, and on budget.

Responsibilities:

As our Foreman, you will be the driving force on the job site. Your core responsibilities will be split between technical execution and crew leadership:

Concrete Mastery:

Direct and oversee all phases of concrete work, from setting complex formwork and rebar to managing large-scale pours and specialized finishes.

Demolition Planning:

Implement and supervise phased demolition plans (structural and selective), ensuring the integrity of surrounding structures is maintained.

Grade & Elevation:

Expertly use survey equipment and lasers to establish and verify final grades and elevations for accurate placement.

Quality Control:

Maintain the highest standard of workmanship, resolving technical issues and blueprint discrepancies in real-time.

Leadership, Safety, and Site Management

Safety First:

Serve as the on-site Safety Officer, leading daily toolbox talks, conducting site inspections, and rigorously enforcing OSHA compliance for all specialized operations (heavy equipment, silica control).

Crew Leadership:

Effectively train, mentor, and manage a crew of 5-15 workers, assigning daily tasks and driving productivity to meet aggressive project deadlines.

Logistics:

Coordinate and verify material deliveries (concrete, rebar), manage equipment utilization, and maintain precise inventory and site organization.

Qualifications:

Experience: 5 years of hands-on experience in commercial construction, with a minimum of 3 years in a Foreman/Supervisory role specializing in concrete and demolition.

Certifications:

Current OSHA 30-Hour Certification is required.

Technical Skills:

Deep familiarity with structural blueprints, specifications, and the ability to troubleshoot site conditions against engineered plans.

Administrative Acumen:

Proficiency with construction technology for daily reports (DCRs), time card management, and cost tracking.

Soft Skills:

Strong communication, conflict-resolution, and decision-making abilities.

Salary : $90,000 - $110,000
