Crew Building Foreman

2 weeks ago

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Helio urban developments Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

Weekly pay. HRM region.

Know great drywallers who also paint? Framers who can handle foundations? Tired of watching skilled people work alone when they could earn more together?

Build integrated crews that change how construction works.

We've proven that crews handling broader scopes make more money and create better projects. Now we need someone who can find these people, show them the opportunity, and build teams that complement each other.

THE ROLE: You're not supervising daily work. You're building the teams:

  • Find skilled generalists who want to expand their scope
  • Match personalities and skills for maximum productivity
  • Explain our bonus system so crews see the opportunity
  • Build 3-4 integrated crews over next 6 months
  • Develop crew leaders who keep teams together

THE MONEY:

  • $30-35/hour base rate
  • Bonuses tied to crew performance (they succeed = you succeed)
  • Weekly pay every Friday
  • Full-time role building our crew network

WHAT MAKES THIS WORK:

✓ Proven model - integrated crews earning 20% more
✓ Standard building designs - easier to master
✓ Real performance bonuses that actually pay out
✓ Professional sites crews want to work on
✓ Clear scopes: Foundation/Framing, Interior Systems, Envelope
✓ You build teams, superintendent runs sites

YOU'RE PERFECT IF YOU:

  • Know the Halifax trades community deeply
  • Can spot people ready to expand their skills
  • Understand which trades naturally work together
  • Can explain money in ways that motivate
  • Have built or led multi-trade crews before
  • Believe specialists are overrated

YOUR APPROACH TO CREW BUILDING:

  • Start with strong pairs (drywaller + painter)
  • Add complementary skills (flooring, trim)
  • Find people tired of driving between small jobs
  • Show them how integration = more money
  • Build trust by proving the system works

CRITICAL SKILLS:

  • Sell the vision to traditional tradespeople
  • Match personalities, not just skills
  • Explain incentive structures clearly
  • Recognize who wants to grow vs. stay narrow
  • Build crews that last, not just fill spots

SIMPLE APPLICATION: Tell us in your cover letter:

  1. How would you convince a drywaller to learn basic flooring?
  2. What makes crews stick together long-term?
  3. Your best example of building a multi-skilled team?
  4. How many quality tradespeople could you bring?

About Helio: Same designs, integrated crews, performance bonuses that actually pay out. Help us prove construction doesn't need 15 different trades to build a home.**
