Construction Foreman

Your primary goal is to translate technical blueprints into high-quality physical structures while maintaining a safe, productive, and disciplined work environment. By proactively managing site crews and resolving immediate field challenges, you ensure the project remains on schedule and within quality standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage multi-disciplinary teams including but not limited to carpenters, masons, steelmen, etc. and subcontractors to ensure daily tasks are completed according to the project schedule.
• Interpret blueprints and technical drawings to direct the layout and installation of structural, architectural, and MEP components.
• Conduct regular inspections of work-in-progress to ensure compliance with design specifications and a "zero-rework" quality standard.
• Monitor the inventory of materials and the condition of tools/equipment; coordinate with the warehouse to ensure supplies are available before tasks begin.
• Enforce strict adherence to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) standards, ensuring all workers wear proper PPE and maintain a clean, hazard-free site.
• Prepare daily man-hour reports, accomplishment logs, and incident reports for the Project Manager.
• Identify and resolve site-level conflicts or technical discrepancies in coordination with the Site Surveyor and Engineering teams.

• The Construction Foreman role requires a seasoned leader with five to seven years of supervisory experience in large-scale vertical construction or high-end interior fit-outs, ideally supported by a background in Civil Engineering, Architecture, or vocational training.
• A successful candidate must possess a deep understanding of Philippine construction methods and local safety regulations, alongside a mastery of interpreting complex structural blueprints and MEP shop drawings.
• Beyond technical skills, the position demands a firm but fair "ground-level" leadership style to manage labor disputes and mentor workers, combined with a sharp eye for craftsmanship to identify and correct deviations before they impact the project's bottom line.
• The success of this role is measured by the timely completion of project phases and the minimization of material wastage and rework.
• You are expected to maintain an impeccable safety record (zero accidents) and ensure that your team meets daily productivity targets.
• Reliability in reporting and the ability to maintain harmonious relationships between different trades and the management team are essential for the technical and operational integrity of the project.
• This role is site-based in active construction environments and may require extended working hours, weekend work, or mobility between project areas.
