Field Foreman- Bridge Installation

Job Title: Field Foreman – Bridge Installation Crews

Location: Nationwide Travel (Home Base Flexible)

About Bridge Brothers

Bridge Brothers is a leading manufacturer specializing in the design, engineering, fabrication, and construction of custom steel bridges. We serve municipalities, national parks, energy companies, and private developers across the country.

We build one-of-a-kind structures in demanding environments. Our work is physical, technical, and often dirty — and we take pride in doing it right. When you join Bridge Brothers, you’re not sitting behind a desk — you’re building infrastructure that lasts generations.

Position Summary

Bridge Brothers is seeking a Field Foreman to lead and work alongside our bridge installation crews nationwide. This is a very hands-on, labor-driven role — you will be in the field nearly every week, wearing PPE, turning wrenches, rigging steel, and setting the pace for the crew.

This role is not a desk superintendent or a clipboard manager. You are the working leader on site, responsible for safety, productivity, quality, and execution. You’ll be the first one in and the last one out, setting the standard through action.

If you enjoy travel, physical work, problem-solving in real time, and leading crews from the front, this role is built for you.
