Construction Foreman

Construction Foreman

$26.00–$40.00/hr base + monthly bonuses — our foremen averaged ~$90,000 last year, with top performers earning over $140,000

---

TerraFirma has been the Pacific Northwest's trusted name in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete repair since 2005. We're locally owned and operated — the leaders making decisions here are the same people you'll see in the shop. We don't just fix homes, we protect families, and our Foremen are the backbone of every job site.

Are you a proven leader who takes ownership of the job site and sets the standard for excellence? You're not just managing a crew — you're owning safety, quality, productivity, and team performance on every project.

MOST OF YOUR PAY IS GUARANTEED — NOT A BONUS PROMISE

Our base range is $26–$40/hr. That means the majority of your earnings are locked into your rate, not riding on variable per-job bonuses. Monthly bonuses come on top. Last year our foremen averaged ~$90,000, and our top performers cleared $140,000.

WHERE THIS ROLE GOES

Foreman isn't the ceiling here. Many of our leaders were promoted from the field. Our FIRM Foundations Mentorship Program and leadership development track exist to build the next generation of leaders — from inside.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Lead, Manage & Hold Accountable

• Lead a high-performance crew — coordinate assignments based on work priority, schedules, and workforce availability
• Supervise crew members and provide on-the-job training to Installers and Co-Foremen
• Enforce safety protocols and conduct regular safety checks — safety is non-negotiable on every job site
• Monitor project progress and keep jobs on track on time and budget
• Motivate and recognize your team; address performance issues promptly with Production Manager support

Installations

• Review job specs to determine materials, tools, and equipment before arriving on site
• Assess site conditions on arrival and set a clear plan — time allotment, tools, work order
• Install TerraFirma products driving quality workmanship and on-time completion
• Troubleshoot and innovate on the spot to meet company standards and timetables
• Collect payment on completion and submit accurate final documentation

Customer Experience

• Deliver superior quality and service; keep customers informed via TerraFirma's messaging system
• Explain job changes clearly and obtain customer approval before proceeding
• Confirm satisfaction at completion; leave every job site clean — often better than you found it

WHAT WE ASK

• Experience leading construction crews — as a Foreman, Lead, or the installer everyone already looks to
• Hands-on construction or mechanical knowledge; ability to read job specs and plans
• Foundation repair, waterproofing, or concrete lifting experience a plus — we'll train the right leader on our systems

PAY & EARNINGS

• $26.00–$40.00/hr base, plus monthly bonuses
• Foremen averaged ~$90,000 last year; top performers over $140,000
• Paid travel time — out-of-town drive time is compensated in accordance with applicable state law, and TerraFirma covers your lodging + per diem

Some projects require out-of-town travel with overnight stays — it's part of leading crews across our service area, and we make sure you're taken care of on the road.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A real leadership track: leadership promotions happen continuously
• 14 days PTO + 7 paid holidays
• All tools/equipment provided

OUR VALUES: F.I.R.M.

We don't just talk about our values — we live them:

• Family — We treat our team like family and support each other on and off the job site
• Integrity — We do the right thing, even when no one is watching
• Resilience — We push through challenges and come out stronger
• Mastery — We take pride in our craft and always strive to be better
