Production Foreman, Residential Construction

Job Description

Job Title: Production Foreman – Residential Construction

Location: Estrie

Job Type: Full-time

Sector: Residential Construction / Modular Production / Manufacturing Plant

Salary: $80,000 to $90,000 based on experience

Job Summary

Do you have experience in construction, know how to manage field teams, understand plans, manufacturing techniques, and would like to play a leadership role in a more stable environment than a traditional job site? We are looking for a production foreman to join a well-established Quebec company active in manufactured residential construction. The role is based in Estrie, in a modern, structured production environment that is 100% on-site. Here, the position does not correspond to a classic job site foreman role. The selected person will not have to manage purchases, deliveries, permits, subcontractors, or progressive billing. The role is focused on supervising production operations, managing team leaders, ensuring quality execution, training, and improving work methods. This is a great opportunity for someone who knows construction well, enjoys field leadership, wants to share their knowledge, and is looking for a concrete, human, and structured role in a more stable and predictable environment than a job site.

Main Responsibilities

• Supervise production stages on the floor
• Support team leaders and assist employees on a daily basis
• Plan the team's work according to production priorities
• Ensure that work is completed within the requested deadlines
• Validate manufacturing techniques and work compliance
• Ensure adherence to plans, quality standards, and internal methods
• Collaborate on optimizing work methods
• Train employees and share best practices
• Maintain a good team atmosphere and exercise mobilizing leadership
• Ensure compliance with health and safety rules at work
• Follow up on operations and tasks to be completed
• Be present on the floor almost all the time to support production

Desired Profile:

• Relevant experience in construction
• Minimum 5 years of experience in the industry
• Experience in field team management
• Residential profile strongly prioritized
• Experience in multi-family or institutional considered an asset
• Good plan reading skills
• Good measuring skills
• Good understanding of rough construction/framing techniques
• Knowledge of the Building Code or ability to refer to it effectively
• Strong and mobilizing leadership
• Ability to train, mentor, and advance employees
• Rigor, organizational skills, and good judgment
• Ability to keep pace in a production environment

On a human level, we are looking for someone who is present, structured, and unifying. A person capable of managing team leaders, maintaining control over operations, fostering a good atmosphere, and consistently moving things forward. The role may be particularly interesting for a carpenter-joiner who has evolved into management, a job site foreman seeking a more stable framework, or a former general contractor who wants to stay close to construction without continuing to bear all the pressure of a complete job site.

Work Environment

This role is really focused on supervising production in a factory. It is not a traditional job site position. The selected person will work directly on the production floor, in a modern, ergonomic, and operations-focused environment. The office is located directly on the production line to stay close to the teams and daily issues. The position will particularly suit someone who wants to stay connected to the concrete, the teams, and the quality of execution, while enjoying a more stable, structured, and predictable environment than a classic job site.

Benefits

• Salary between $80,000 and $90,000, based on experience
• Possibility of slightly exceeding for a very strong application
• Permanent full-time position
• Day schedule, Monday to Thursday from 7:00 AM to 4:15 PM
• Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM
• 4 weeks of vacation
• Group insurance
• Group RRSP and DPSP
• Job stability year-round
• Technological and ergonomic indoor environment
• Health and safety-focused factory
• Diverse projects
• Well-established Quebec family business
• Concrete, human role close to operations
