Employment Type: Full-Time

ABOUT DSM CONTRACTING

DSM Contracting is a WBE Certified Civil Site Contractor--a growing, team-oriented civil site contractor serving commercial, industrial, government, and federal projects throughout Maryland.

Our work includes:

· Earthwork and grading

· Site utilities

· Stormwater systems

· Concrete

· Asphalt paving

· Erosion and sediment control

· Site development and infrastructure

We believe successful construction starts with strong field leadership, accountability, communication, safety, and doing the job right the first time.

We are looking for an experienced Civil Site Foreman who wants to be more than someone who simply directs a crew.

This is a leadership position for someone who understands how a civil site project actually gets built and can take ownership of field execution.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As a Civil Site Foreman, you will serve as a high-level field leader responsible for executing DSM’s established field operations, standards, and project structure under the direction of the Superintendent and Project Management team.

The position functions as a field leadership role.

You will lead crews, work with other foremen, coordinate multiple phases of construction, maintain production, enforce safety and quality standards, and communicate field conditions to leadership.

DSM’s expectations are straightforward:

Execute the plan. Develop people. Solve problems. Communicate. Deliver results.

You are not being hired to create your own system or operate independently of DSM’s structure. You are being hired to execute DSM’s system consistently and help make the field operation better.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Field Leadership & Execution

· Direct daily field operations in alignment with the Superintendent’s direction

· Lead crews, foremen, and field personnel toward established production goals

· Maintain a strong and consistent presence on active jobsites

· Ensure work is performed according to project plans, drawings, specifications, and DSM procedures

· Drive productivity, efficiency, accountability, and teamwork

· Identify field problems before they become project problems

· Take ownership of field performance and results

Sub-Superintendent / Senior Field Leadership

When required, you will:

· Act as the field lead in the Superintendent’s absence

· Coordinate multiple crews, phases, and scopes of work

· Help enforce project schedules and sequencing

· Coordinate manpower, equipment, materials, and workflow

· Communicate critical project conditions, risks, delays, and needs to leadership

· Support decision-making within DSM’s established structure

· Help maintain alignment between field operations and project objectives

The DSM Foreman role calls for the ability to step into Superintendent-level responsibilities when needed.

· Earthwork and grading

· Excavation and backfill

· Site utilities

· Stormwater systems

· Drainage

· Concrete

· Asphalt paving

· Erosion and sediment control

· Site development

· Equipment operation and coordination

· Material delivery and logistics

You must be able to read and understand construction drawings, specifications, plans, and project scope and translate them into organized field execution. DSM’s established role specifically requires coordination across these civil scopes.

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Safety is a leadership responsibility at DSM.

You will be expected to:

· Enforce DSM safety policies and OSHA requirements
