What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Foreman position at Sun Construction, Inc.?
CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN
Build Hawaii. Lead People. Take Pride in What You Leave Behind.
Sun Construction
Location: Hawaii Island, Hawaii
Position: Full-Time | Commercial Construction
Pay Range: $51.25-$64.60 Hourly (DOE)
YOUR NEXT PROJECT SHOULD BE MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER JOB.
At Sun Construction, we're building more than buildings.
We're building relationships, developing people, strengthening our community, and creating projects our employees can point to with pride for years to come.
We're looking for an experienced Construction Foreman who knows how to build--but, just as importantly, knows how to lead.
This is an opportunity for a hands-on construction professional who takes ownership of their work, earns the respect of their crew, solves problems, develops people, and believes that safety, quality, productivity, and teamwork all matter.
If you're the person others turn to when the job gets challenging--and you're ready to bring that leadership to a company committed to growing its people--we want to meet you.
What You'll Do
As a Sun Construction Foreman, you'll be one of the key leaders responsible for turning plans into successful projects.
You'll work closely with our Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, and field teams to make sure work is performed safely, correctly, efficiently, and on schedule.
Lead the Crew
Set the tone every morning.
Communicate the day's goals, organize manpower, assign responsibilities, and make sure everyone understands what needs to be accomplished.
Lead from the front and create a jobsite where people know what's expected of them.
Plan Ahead
Great Foremen don't just manage today's work--they're already thinking about tomorrow.
Anticipate manpower, materials, equipment, tools, subcontractors, inspections, deliveries, and upcoming project needs so the crew can stay productive.
Own the Work
Take responsibility for your area of the project.
Monitor productivity, workmanship, safety, and schedule. Identify problems early and work with project leadership to develop solutions before small issues become major delays.
Lead Safety
At Sun Construction, safety is everyone's responsibility--but our field leaders set the standard.
Lead by example, conduct or participate in safety meetings, identify hazards, correct unsafe conditions, and make sure employees have the training, equipment, and PPE necessary to perform their work safely.
Production never comes before sending our people home safely.
Protect Quality
We want to build work and we're proud to put the Sun Construction name on.
Review drawings, specifications, details, and field conditions. Verify that work is installed correctly and hold the crew to a high standard of craftsmanship.
Build it right. Build it safely. Take pride in the finished product.
Solve Problems
Construction rarely goes exactly according to plan.
We want Foremen who don't stop at identifying a problem.
Bring solutions.
Work collaboratively with the Superintendent and Project Manager to resolve field conditions, coordinate trades, maintain productivity, and keep the project moving forward.
Develop Your Crew
One of the most important responsibilities of a Sun Construction Foreman is developing the people around you.
Teach.
Coach.
Share what you know.
Give developing employees opportunities to take on responsibility.
Help apprentices and younger construction professionals understand not only how to perform the work, but why it's done that way.
A successful Foreman doesn't just build a great project.
A successful Foreman builds the next generation of Sun Construction leaders.
