Foreman

  • The Boring Company
  • Nashville, Tennessee
  • Full Time

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.

We're looking for a TBM Foreman to lead tunneling crews on shift and help drive production on a hard rock Main Beam TBM project. This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role responsible for coordinating miners, operators, mechanics, and electricians during daily dig operations. You'll ensure work is executed safely, efficiently, and in line with the shift plan - while staying ready to adapt to the unexpected underground.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead tunneling operations on shift, including mucking, utilities, conveyor systems, and ground support activities
  • Communicate shift goals, assignments, and safety updates to crew members and ensure clear handoffs between shifts
  • Support TBM startup, operation, and stoppage procedures alongside the operator and maintenance teams
  • Identify and escalate mechanical, electrical, or ground condition issues affecting production
  • Ensure all work is performed according to safety standards, SOPs, and engineering requirements
  • Provide on-the-job training, mentorship, and performance feedback to crew members
  • Track shift progress and submit accurate reports/logs to the Superintendent and Tunnel Engineer

Qualifications:

  • 3-5+ years of underground tunneling or mining experience, preferably with Main Beam TBMs
  • Prior experience in a crew lead, lead miner, or foreman role
  • Strong working knowledge of TBM systems, ground support, ventilation, and underground logistics
  • Effective communicator and decision-maker under pressure
  • Comfortable working in confined spaces, around heavy equipment, and on rotating shifts

Culture

We're a team of dedicated, smart, and scrappy people. Our employees are passionate about our mission and determined to innovate at every opportunity.

Benefits

We offer employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a competitive amount of equity for all permanent employees.
