• Read and interpret structural and architectural blueprints and build directly from these plans.
• Oversee commercial metal framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling installations on projects such as hospitals, schools, multifamily buildings, and ski resort properties.
• Manage and oversee projects valued at $1 million or more, ensuring quality, safety, and budget adherence.
• Supervise teams of 20 or more workers, providing clear direction, coaching, and performance feedback.
• Serve in a client‑facing capacity, representing the company professionally and communicating progress, issues, and solutions.
• Use computers or tablets to operate project‑related software and applications, and to communicate with stakeholders.
• Coordinate with a second‑in‑command or trade expert when needed to ensure technical trade details are executed correctly.
• Ensure safe use of power tools, hand tools, and other construction equipment on site.
• Verify accurate measurements and layout using tape measures and other measuring tools.
• Monitor and enforce safety standards and jobsite cleanliness throughout the project.
• Collaborate with project management to support scheduling, resource allocation, and problem solving.
• Assist with general labor and hands‑on framing or carpentry tasks only as needed during downtime or to support critical project milestones.

• Proven experience as a lead foreman on construction jobsites.
• Ability to read and build directly from structural and architectural plans.
• 6–8 years of relevant construction experience in framing or related trades.
• Experience overseeing construction projects valued at $1 million or more.
• Experience supervising crews of 20 or more people.
• Strong experience in commercial construction, particularly metal framing, drywall, and acoustical ceilings.
• Ability to work effectively on projects such as hospitals, schools, multifamily buildings, and ski resorts.
• Proficiency in using computers or tablets to operate project‑related programs and communicate with the team.
• Demonstrated management and leadership skills, with the ability to direct and motivate field crews.
• Solid understanding of construction supervision and construction management practices.
• Competence in blueprint reading and applying plans to field execution.
• Hands‑on knowledge of framing, rough carpentry, and finish carpentry.
• Ability to safely use power tools, hand tools, and measuring tools such as tape measures.

• Drywall installation and finishing experience is highly preferred.
• Experience with metal stud and steel framing in commercial environments.
• Experience in acoustical ceiling installation.
• Experience in industrial or commercial construction settings.
• Project management exposure or experience supporting field‑level project coordination.
• General labor and carpentry experience across rough and finish scopes.
• Comfort representing the company in a client‑facing role on active jobsites.
• Leadership potential is strongly valued; candidates with exceptional leadership abilities may be paired with a strong number two for trade‑specific support.
• Growth mindset and interest in progressing toward a Superintendent career path.
• Ability to adapt to working in a mountain environment and on a variety of commercial project types.
