Foreman and Supervisors Jobs in Tennessee

A Foreman or Supervisor in the construction industry plays a crucial role in coordinating and managing the activities on a construction site. They are responsible for planning, organizing, and controlling projects; managing and leading the team of workers; inspecting work for quality and compliance with plans and specifications; enforcing safety regulations; and liaising with subcontractors, suppliers, and clients. They also prepare schedules, allocate tasks, and evaluate the performance of subordinates. Additionally, they review and approve work orders, manage project costs, and ensure the timely completion of projects.

Foremen and Supervisors should have excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Knowledge of construction methods, materials, regulations, and industry standards is important. They should typically hold a high school diploma or equivalent, although a degree in construction management or a related field can be advantageous. Experience in the construction industry is crucial, with roles such as a Construction Worker, Carpenter, or Construction Manager often serving as stepping stones to a Foreman or Supervisor position. Certifications, such as OSHA safety certification or Certified Construction Manager (CCM), can also be beneficial.
