About You and The Role
As a Construction Foreman, you'll own the transition of new and upgraded sites from construction handoff to operational readiness. You'll lead a team of technicians to verify construction quality, install and integrate systems, deploy new technologies, and ensure infrastructure reliability
You be a key stakeholder in our site build process from initial site QC & constructibility, assisting the construction management team with construction oversight, commissioning, and closeout. You will work closely with the rest of the construction team and contractor base to build strong relationships with key stakeholders and build scalable, repeatable construction processes to expand our network.
Your leadership will drive site performance, uptime, and technical excellence, enabling seamless operations at scale. To ensure success in this role, you'll ensure execution of processes, standards, and performance metrics that guide every stage of site activation and/or maintenance. You'll proactively resolve issues before they impact operations, foster strong collaboration across construction, engineering, and operations teams. You will seek to improve workflows based on field feedback and data insights. By combining hands-on technical oversight with strategic planning and team development, you'll deliver sites that launch on time, perform reliably, and scale within our growing network.
You will also be working with the Engineering and Operations teams to tackle all the technical challenges we face head-on to get our customer's sites operational as quickly as possible. You will have to be technically savvy, and be able to develop relationships with customers, suppliers and contractors.
