General Foreman

Location: Chantilly, VA
Salary: $100,000–$115,000

We are looking for a General Foreman who knows how to turn a busy construction site into an organized, productive, and safe operation. This is not a “stand around and point at things” position. We need a seasoned field leader who can coordinate crews, keep production moving, communicate with project leadership, solve problems before they become expensive problems, and make sure the work gets done correctly the first time.

The ideal General Foreman is part field leader, part problem solver, part traffic controller, and part professional fire extinguisher. You know that construction rarely goes exactly according to plan, so you bring the experience, communication skills, and good judgment needed to keep everyone moving in the right direction.

This is an opportunity for someone who takes pride in building more than projects. You build teams, accountability, momentum, and a jobsite culture where people know what is expected and have the tools and support to get it done.

As the General Foreman, you will provide hands‑on leadership across daily field operations, working closely with Superintendents, Project Managers, subcontractors, vendors, and craft professionals.

Your responsibilities will include:

Directing and coordinating field crews to maintain productivity, quality, and schedule expectations.

Reviewing project plans, specifications, schedules, and scopes of work to understand what needs to happen and when.

Organizing manpower, equipment, materials, and daily activities so the field operation stays ahead rather than constantly playing catch‑up.

Providing clear direction to Foremen and craft personnel.

Monitoring production and identifying potential schedule issues before they become full‑blown schedule headaches.

Coordinating multiple crews and activities working simultaneously throughout the project.

Working closely with project leadership to establish priorities and communicate field conditions.

Maintaining a strong understanding of project schedules and upcoming work.

Coordinating material deliveries, equipment needs, site access, and manpower requirements.

Ensuring work is performed according to plans, specifications, company standards, and applicable codes.

Inspecting completed and ongoing work for quality and completeness.

Identifying deficiencies and making sure corrective action happens quickly.

Helping troubleshoot field issues and developing practical solutions that keep production moving.

Communicating daily progress, manpower needs, schedule concerns, and project challenges to leadership.

Supporting project scheduling and helping coordinate short‑term and look‑ahead planning.

Working with subcontractors and vendors to maintain expectations for safety, quality, productivity, and schedule.

Maintaining a clean, organized, and professional jobsite.

Helping coordinate inspections and ensuring work is ready when inspectors arrive.

Monitoring site logistics and adjusting plans when field conditions change.

Tracking productivity and recognizing opportunities to improve efficiency.

Mentoring Foremen, Leadmen, and less‑experienced field personnel.

Holding crews accountable while maintaining a respectful and team‑oriented environment.

Participating in project meetings and providing valuable field insight.

Reading and interpreting blueprints, drawings, specifications, and project documentation.

Communicating changes in scope, design, sequencing, or field conditions to the appropriate project personnel.

Assisting with project closeout activities, punch lists, and final completion.

Making sure the jobsite does not become a treasure hunt for tools, materials, paperwork, or answers.
