Classification: Site Foreman — Hybrid GC / Electrical

Location: Mesa, AZ — intrastate travel to project sites across the state

Project Types: Retail/Commercial, Warehouses, Data Centers, Light Industrial

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced Travel Foreman to lead field operations on commercial construction projects across Arizona. This is a contract position — candidates must be willing and able to travel within the state to assigned project sites, with overnight stays required when projects are beyond reasonable commuting distance. Top performers are eligible for conversion to direct hire. The ideal candidate brings dual expertise in commercial general contracting — wood framing, light gauge steel framing, and CMU/concrete block construction — and electrical work, with strong conduit installation and bending proficiency. Experience on retail commercial builds, warehouses, and/or data centers is strongly preferred.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Structural / General Contracting Scope:

Lead and execute wood framing operations — wall layout, floor and roof systems, stairwells, blocking, fire blocking, sheathing, and hold-down hardware per structural drawings
Direct light gauge steel (LGS) framing for commercial interiors and exteriors: track, stud layout, headers, curtain wall framing, shaft walls, and soffits
Oversee CMU and concrete block construction: layout, coursing, reinforcement placement, lintel installation, and coordination with masonry subcontractors where applicable
Interpret and build from architectural, structural, and shop drawings across all three structural systems without direct supervision
Coordinate structural sequencing with concrete, MEP, roofing, and envelope trades to maintain schedule integrity on commercial sites
Perform layout of wall lines, openings, bearing conditions, and MEP rough-in backing/blocking for retail, warehouse, and data center project types

Electrical / Conduit Scope:

Install and route EMT, rigid (GRC), IMC, and PVC conduit systems — underground, in-slab, exposed, and concealed conditions
Execute complex conduit bends using hand, mechanical, and hydraulic benders — offsets, saddles, 3-point and 4-point bends, segmented bends for large-diameter pipe
Read and work from electrical construction drawings: one-line diagrams, riser diagrams, panel schedules, lighting plans, and equipment connection details
Install pull boxes, junction boxes, conduit bodies, cable tray, unistrut, and support systems in coordination with structural framing layout
Oversee wire and cable pulling through conduit systems; maintain NEC-compliant fill ratios, protection, and termination prep
Coordinate conduit routing with structural framing, HVAC ductwork, and plumbing to avoid conflicts and maintain access
Support panel rough-in, service equipment placement, and distribution system installation as directed by master electrician or electrical contractor

Foreman / Crew Leadership:

Manage a mixed crew of carpenters, framers, electricians, and apprentices — typically 5–15 workers — across active Arizona commercial job sites
Develop and execute daily and weekly work plans; set production targets and assign tasks based on project sequencing and crew skill
Coordinate with GC superintendent and other trade foremen for sequencing, space conflicts, and inspection scheduling
Conduct daily toolbox talks and pre-task planning; enforce OSHA 29 CFR 1926 standards, Arizona-specific safety regulations, and site-specific safety plans
Track labor hours, material usage, and production against budget; report variances to PM or superintendent
Ensure work is inspection-ready at all structural, rough-in, and close-in milestones; coordinate AHJ and CIB inspections for both structural and electrical scope
Identify and document RFIs, change order triggers, and scope conflicts; escalate promptly through proper channels
Mentor apprentice and journeyman-level crew members; model quality standards, code compliance, and professional conduct

Project-Type Experience (any combination valued):

Retail / Commercial: Anchor tenant buildouts, shell and TI framing, storefront backing, equipment curb and support framing, LGS interior systems, panel and distribution rough-in
Warehouse / Distribution: Tilt-up coordination, CMU perimeter walls, steel deck support framing, large-bay conduit runs, high-bay lighting rough-in, dock and door framing
