Construction Foreman

We are looking for a hands-on Working Foreman to lead and work alongside field crews on residential and multifamily additions, renovations, new homes, and select commercial projects in a jobsite-based construction environment. AlphaHire is recruiting on behalf of a client, a long-established regional builder serving the Lancaster, PA area. This role is responsible for field execution, crew leadership, and daily jobsite progress rather than office-based project management. The position is ideal for a working foreman who can take ownership in the field while contributing directly to high-quality construction work.

Responsibilities

• Lead and work alongside field crews on active residential, multifamily, renovation, addition, new-home, and light commercial construction projects
• Drive daily jobsite execution by keeping crews productive, materials organized, and project work moving according to plan
• Read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and field instructions to guide accurate installation
• Oversee carpentry and general construction activities while maintaining quality, safety, and workmanship standards
• Communicate jobsite needs, schedule updates, and project issues clearly with company leadership, subcontractors, and field team members
• Support project starts, daily site setup, inspections, punch work, and closeout activities as needed
• Identify field problems early and help resolve construction issues without unnecessary delays
• Travel to job sites generally within about one hour of the Lancaster, PA area

• 5+ years of experience in a working foreman, construction foreman, carpenter foreman, lead carpenter, or similar hands-on field leadership role
• Experience with residential construction, multifamily renovations, additions, remodeling, new homes, or small commercial projects
• Strong hands-on carpentry or general construction background with the ability to lead from the field
• Ability to read construction drawings, understand scopes of work, and guide crews through daily jobsite tasks
• Must have direct field leadership experience, not only project coordination or office-based project management experience
• Must be comfortable working full-time on jobsites with no remote, hybrid, or office-based component
• Ability to reliably travel to Lancaster-area job sites, typically within about one hour of Lancaster, PA

Compensation: Approximately $80,000-$90,000 total compensation, including bonus and profit sharing.

Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, and other company-sponsored programs.
