Dynamic Construction Foreman

I have a general construction corporation, in business for almost 8 years, and I am very looking to hire my first two individuals for the company.

This post pertains to the company foreman employee. Two employees are needed to be hired simultaneously so if I find one person, that person may have to wait to start work until the second person is hired.

No benefits for now, except workman’s comp insurance. I will consider offering some benefits as the company does well with its new employees.

I often have repeat customers who need quality work and value great service.

I am looking for someone who has the interest and drive for working on their own as well as can manage a team. Their level of experience and understanding will be to the level that they will be able to train other future employees of the company in a dignified and effective way as well as manage sub contractors, and even communicate withdrawal clients if needed.

The level of knowledge and experience you have will be determined by a face-to-face interview over the internet and then possibly another one in a public area near Roseville area. Once the interview(s) shows me you have a measure of competence and the standards I will detail below, then I will determine and explain final phase two of the interview, if you choose to accept it.

Payment will begin as soon as possible, especially when starting out. But the following willingness, experience and understanding is required:

Speak english well. A bonus if you speak other languages.

You must be a very clean and organized person. I am looking for a leader to head the labor for this company. Someone that is clean, neat and complete.

Have excellent communication skills and has a desire and high skill level to explain, line up and prep for a construction project, train and learn about best practices and about new productive and their applications.

Can clean up as they go without leaving trip hazards and thoroughly cleans up after a project.

Have a minimum of 3 years of FULL-TIME experience installing and flashing: windows, doors and roofing.

Have a minimum of 3 years experience in FULL-TIME work in framing and/or finish carpentry. Both framing and finish carpentry experience is important to me. Understands standard sizes of wood, building material application including: nail patterns, flashing and other sub-straights.

Remodel and addition experience is a plus.

Starting out you must have your own tools, such as: Skill saw, Jig saw, Salsaw, Nail gun, etc. And the company will eventually provide all the tools after it’s determined that you are already experienced and know how to use your own tools efficiently.

Has the energy and health to gracefully but safely climb tall ladders and several levels of scaffolding.

Be willing to do some power washing, crawl under crawl spaces, or go in attics.

Be willing to take one or more Ocea training class’s to get certified in safety, paid for by the company. Be willing to receive detailed instructions on safety preparation and implementation from me or others at work. Any unsafe practices to the customers, equipment or any other people including yourself will mean immediate termination. I am reasonable on very hot days, working early and ending early, and try to take very good care of anyone who works with me or for me.

You have a good driving record. No DUI or licenses close to being suspended will be allowed. You cannot be addicted to any substance including cigarettes. I cannot handle cigarette smoke. You are willing to work between west Sacramento, all the way up to Colfax area, but that will be determined later in discussions. You can drive your own car to the job site and be compensated for some of your travel expenses. You might be asked to use the company truck to make trips to pick up material, travel to and from county or city building departments - not your own vehicle - since the company truck is insured by the corporation.

You need to be willing to learn to read construction plans and understand the different systems of a house, especially learning how water is repelled off the buildings and properly drained.

You must be able and willing to use technology and use a smart phone, taking pictures and good quality videos for collaborative use with me when working remote.

Experience in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, tile, flooring is a bonus, but not required.

Willingness dealing with building departments of counties and cities to obtain permits, with a willingness to cooperate well with government officials, instructions for permit issuance and compliance, dressing in a dress pants, shirt and tie.

Since you would be representing the company you must be willing to look sharp and wear clothes that fit. If you have long hair or beard it needs to look appropriate and clean cut so it is presentable to ALL customers. You must present yourself as professional.

This position is available for a part time position at $50.00 per hour for the right candidate, with some travel expenses paid. But I am willing to discuss full time work and pay you by the day as an option. Lunch breaks and 15 minute breaks will be required.
