Location: Upstate NY & Regional Job Sites
Reports to: General Site Superintendent
What to Expect
If you’re the kind of person who takes pride in getting work done right the first time — and you like being trusted to lead crews, run equipment, and keep a job moving without chaos — you’ll fit in here.
At Fahs, Site Foremen are hands-on leaders. You’ll run a mix of equipment, coordinate daily tasks, maintain grades, and keep quality, production, and safety tight. You’re the one everyone on site looks to when something needs to get figured out, sequenced, or fixed.
You will work closely with a Project Superintendent and Project Manager, but you won’t be micromanaged. We respect field leadership and listen when you say something will or won’t work. We value organized jobs, clear plans, safe work methods, and well-maintained equipment — because that’s what lets field crews perform at their best.
As a 100% employee-owned company, strong work, smart decisions, and efficient execution directly support long-term success — including your ESOP benefit. This isn’t just a paycheck. It’s ownership, stability, and real pride in the projects you build.
