Job Title: Working Supervisor – Coatings & Exterior Services (Hands-On Role)


Position Summary


This is not a desk job and not a “stand back and supervise” position. The Working Supervisor is a hands-on leader who works alongside the crew every day while also directing and managing the jobsite. This role requires someone who leads from the front—demonstrating craftsmanship, setting the pace, and ensuring quality through direct involvement in the work.


You will be expected to actively perform the same skilled tasks as your team—painting, waterproofing, sealants, coatings, and cleaning—while also overseeing safety, production, and job execution.


Core Expectation: Lead by Doing


  •  Spend the majority of your time in the field performing work alongside your crew
  •  Set the standard for work ethic, quality, and efficiency
  •  Teach and correct in real time through demonstration—not just instruction
