About The Position
The General Foreman supervises and sets direction for all Foremen and craft labor on-site to ensure the best use of all company resources and adherence to all company policies and state and federal regulations. This role involves providing formal coaching feedback to Foremen and regular informal feedback to Field Engineers. The General Foreman is responsible for scheduling equipment, materials, and tools, effectively utilizing all resources to maximize production and minimize costs after becoming familiar with the scope of work and site conditions. Collaboration with the Trade Superintendent on all scheduled activities is essential. Additionally, the General Foreman manages, coaches, trains, and implements standardized Work Instructions, assisting the Trade Superintendent in process improvement efforts. Acting as a technical consultant to all field personnel in areas such as electrical circuits, power quality, switchgear installations, transmission lines, inter-connect systems, and high voltage collection/distribution systems is also a key responsibility. Safety management is critical, as the General Foreman is responsible for ensuring safe working conditions and adherence to safety procedures on the project. This includes understanding and enforcing company, jobsite specific, federal, and state safety regulations, and addressing any concerns with the Trade Superintendent. The General Foreman communicates with the Trade Superintendent to update on project problem areas and the specific status of the project, collaborating on planning and staffing trade employees through proper utilization of company resources, processes, and policies. The role requires maintaining a professional demeanor while interacting with all internal and external individuals, creating a collaborative environment with front line supervision, craft, subcontractors, vendors, and the Owner to continually improve the company's delivery performance. The General Foreman is accountable for verifying that project construction activities and engineering conform to the project Quality Plan and Work Methods, establishing and communicating project specifications and craftsmanship expectations to all craft workers, vendors, subcontractors, and other agents. Mentoring other professional positions such as Field Construction Coordinator/Field Engineers and Foremen on work discipline, production costs, scope of work, quality, and safety is also part of the role. The General Foreman must understand the scope of work per the contract and perform additional assignments as directed by the supervisor. Maintaining crew and equipment matrixes, completing necessary reports in a timely manner, performing quality audits of installed work, familiarizing themselves with site conditions, and leading discipline work activities in the absence of the Trade Superintendent are also key tasks.
