Are you an experienced, adaptable, and proactive earthworks foreman looking for a challenging role with a dynamic team? We are seeking a skilled Earthworks Foreman to oversee and manage a diverse range of site services and construction tasks, from road and pad construction to snow removal, large-scale matting, and contractor support. This role is designed for a foreman who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, where no two days are the same and flexibility is key.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Supervise a team of workers executing various site services and construction tasks, coordinating with other on-site contractors to ensure seamless operations.
  2. Manage simultaneous scopes, including road and pad construction, snow removal, matting, and contractor support, adapting quickly to multiple unplanned scope changes.
  3. Communicate effectively with clients, team members, and on-site contractors, maintaining a positive attitude and fostering a productive, collaborative work environment.
  4. Provide clear, in-field instructions and mentoring, with a strong “boots-on-the-ground” presence, ensuring that all workers understand the requirements and standards for each task.
  5. Select the best resources for each scope and verify that all tasks are completed safely, on schedule, and to high-quality standards.
  6. Demonstrate excellent time management and people management skills, adjusting to changing project demands and supporting team growth through training and mentorship.
  7. Apply practical knowledge of equipment operations and best practices, providing specific, real-world guidance to crew members even if not operating the equipment directly.

Requirements:

  1. Proven experience in earthworks supervision, with the ability to manage constantly shifting project scopes and resources.
  2. Strong communication skills to effectively engage and instruct a diverse workforce, including on-the-fly adjustments to meet project needs.
  3. Ability to manage large and small scopes simultaneously, maintaining flexibility to adapt to new tasks and resource reassignments as needed.
  4. Comprehensive understanding of equipment operations across a variety of tasks and terrains, offering clear instructions grounded in industry best practices.
  5. Positive, approachable demeanor with strong leadership, time management, and people management skills, focused on motivating and guiding the team to success.

Qualifications:

  1. 5+ years of experience in earthworks, construction, or related fields, with a focus on supervisory roles.
  2. Knowledge of industry best practices in challenging site conditions, including winter operations and muskeg management.
  3. Skilled in managing a high-demand, fast-paced workload, making independent decisions with minimal oversight.

Required Training & Certifications:

  1. ACSA Leadership for Safety Excellence
  2. H2S Alive - Energy Safety Canada
  3. Standard First Aid CPR-C & AED
  4. Ground Disturbance 201 (Level 2) - Endorsed by Utility Safety Partners (USP)
  5. Class 5 Driver’s License

Additional Requirements:

  1. Must complete a pre-access drug and alcohol test
  2. Swamp Cats provides a personal service truck allowance or the use of a company truck

If you are a hands-on leader who thrives on a dynamic, multifaceted work environment and is ready to tackle both planned and unplanned challenges, we’d like to hear from you. This role is not for a foreman with a limited scope – we’re looking for someone with the flexibility, leadership, and expertise to drive success in any situation.
