Communicate with the Project Manager and take ownership of completing the job on time and within budget.

2+ years of Foreman or equivalent crew leadership experience.
Proven experience managing crews and completing projects safely, efficiently, and within budget.
Strong experience with excavation and ground disturbance in British Columbia.
Confident working around houses, foundations, underground utilities, and existing infrastructure.
Strong understanding of utility locates and proper excavation procedures.
Experience with grading, drainage, trenching, and backfilling.
Ability to read plans and understand grades and elevations.

Valid Class 5 Driver’s Licence.
Ability to perform hands-on physical work outdoors.

Assets

Experience with skid steers, loaders, compactors, and other construction equipment.
