Foreman in training

North Charleston, SC
Full Time
Construction
Mid Level
 

Build More Than a Job. Create a Future.

Some people want to learn a trade, lead a crew, and build something they can be proud of.

At Cantey Foundation Specialists, we're looking for people who are ready to take the next step. As a Foreman in Training, you'll learn how to run jobs, lead a crew, and create solutions that protect homeowners' biggest investment.

This isn't a clipboard position.

You'll be under houses, in crawl spaces, solving problems, making decisions, and learning what it takes to become a respected Foreman.

The Job

  • Work side-by-side with experienced Crew Leaders
  • Learn how to lead a crew and run a jobsite
  • Install foundation and crawl space repair systems
  • Crawl under homes and work in tight spaces
  • Operate tools and equipment
  • Travel to different jobs and tackle new challenges
  • Help create a great experience for every customer
  • Develop the skills needed to lead your own crew

This Is Where Leaders Get Built

People who want to learn how to run jobs, make decisions, solve problems, and eventually lead a crew of their own. 

That's why this position combines hands-on construction work with leadership development.

Every day brings a different challenge. One house may need structural support. Another may need a crawl space transformed from a problem area into a permanent solution.

You'll spend your days working beneath homes, operating equipment, learning from experienced leaders, and developing skills that will stay with you for life.

The goal isn't to stay a Foreman in Training forever.

The goal is to earn responsibility, earn respect, and create a path into leadership through hard work and results.

At Cantey, the best leaders don't stand back and point. They jump in, solve problems, and help their crew win.

Physical Demands

This is a hands-on leadership position.

You'll regularly:

  • Crawl, kneel, squat, bend, and maneuver through crawl spaces
  • Lift, carry, push, and pull materials and equipment
  • Dig, shovel, and perform physically demanding work
  • Work in hot, humid, dusty, muddy, and confined environments
  • Stay active throughout the workday
  • Lead from the front by working alongside your crew

What You Get

✅ $28/hour starting pay

✅ Production bonuses after training

✅ Clear path to Foreman

✅ Monday-Friday schedule

✅ Company-provided gear and PPE

✅ Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance

✅ 401(k) with company match

✅ Paid Time Off

✅ Hands-on leadership training

✅ Real opportunities to advance

 

Who We're Looking For

  • Construction experience preferred
  • Strong work ethic
  • Reliable and coachable
  • Comfortable with physical labor
  • Wants more responsibility
  • Wants to lead, not follow forever
  • Valid driver's license

Expected Travel

This position requires travel to job sites throughout the state and surrounding areas. Team members should be comfortable with daily travel and occasional overnight stays.

Why Cantey?

Cantey Foundation Specialists is one of the fastest-growing foundation and crawl space repair companies in the Southeast. We believe hard work should create opportunity, and we invest heavily in developing future leaders from within.

If you want a place where effort matters, leadership is earned, and growth is real, you'll fit right in.

Ready for More?

If you're ready to create a career instead of finding another job, take on new challenges, and build your path to Foreman, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and help create stronger homes, stronger crews, and a stronger future.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
