ROLE SUMMARY

On Pointe Contracting is hiring an experienced Seawall / Landscaping Foreman & Equipment Operator to lead shoreline construction, seawall installation, excavation, hardscape, grading, drainage, and waterfront development projects throughout Michigan.

This is not an entry-level foreman position.

This is a working foreman position. You will be expected to lead from the front, work alongside your crew, and take ownership of your projects, equipment, and production.

At On Pointe, experience means you can perform the work safely, efficiently, and correctly without constant supervision.

If you've only done something a handful of times, that is exposure—not experience.

We pay very well for proven performers, but compensation is based on demonstrated ability, leadership, production, and accountability.
