We're looking for an experienced Construction Foreman to lead field operations on green roof and rooftop landscape installation projects across New York City. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys working outdoors, developing teams, and solving problems in the field.

Please note: This is not a traditional ground-level construction role -- you'll be working on rooftops, installing green roof systems, plantings, pavers, and related landscape elements. Landscaping experience is preferred but not required, must have an interest in green infrastructure.

• Annual profit-sharing bonus opportunity
• Paid time off + 8 company holidays
• Paid lunch breaks during standard workdays
• Health, dental, and vision insurance contributions
• Retirement savings with employer IRA match up to 3%
• $1,200 annual professional development stipend
• Paid family leave benefits
• Career growth opportunities and leadership development
• Safety-focused, supportive team culture

What You'll Do

• Lead daily field operations on green roof and rooftop landscape installations
• Direct and supervise installation crews
• Plan workflow, assign tasks, and maintain production goals
• Ensure projects meet company standards for quality, safety, and craftsmanship
• Train, mentor, and support crew members
• Maintain safe rooftop work practices, including PPE and fall protection
• Coordinate with Project Managers and Division Managers
• Complete daily field reports and communicate jobsite updates

What We're Looking For

• 1-3 years of experience as foreman, crew leadership, or field supervision.
• Ability to manage daily production and motivate team members
• Strong understanding of jobsite safety and quality standards
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• NYC SST 40-hour card (or ability to obtain)
