Job Description
Lindgren Landscape seeks an experienced Construction Foreman to lead landscape construction projects in Fort Collins, CO. Oversee crews, ensure quality execution, and deliver stunning outdoor spaces on time and within budget.
Full Description
Join Lindgren Landscape as a Construction Foreman and play a pivotal role in transforming outdoor spaces across Fort Collins, CO. This leadership position is crucial for driving the successful execution of high-quality landscape construction projects, ensuring client satisfaction, operational efficiency, and the company's reputation for excellence in the industry. Your expertise will directly impact our ability to deliver innovative, sustainable landscaping solutions that enhance communities and properties.
As a Construction Foreman, your day-to-day involves supervising on-site crews, coordinating daily tasks, and ensuring all work aligns with project blueprints and timelines. You will conduct morning huddles to assign roles, monitor progress throughout the day, and perform quality inspections on installations like hardscaping, irrigation systems, and plantings. Weekly, you'll review material inventories, order supplies, and update project managers on milestones, addressing any delays proactively. Monthly responsibilities include preparing progress reports, conducting safety audits, and evaluating crew performance to meet key metrics such as on-time completion rates above 95% and budget adherence within 5%. Collaborate closely with project managers, designers, subcontractors, and clients to resolve issues, incorporate feedback, and foster strong stakeholder relationships. Leadership duties encompass training junior staff, enforcing safety protocols, and motivating teams to achieve superior craftsmanship in every project phase from site preparation to final walkthroughs.
Candidates must possess a high school diploma or equivalent, supplemented by vocational training or an associate degree in construction management, landscape architecture, or a related field. At least 5 years of hands-on experience in landscape construction or general construction supervision is required, with proven track record leading crews of 5-15 workers on projects valued up to $500K. Essential hard skills include proficiency in reading blueprints, operating heavy machinery like skid steers and excavators, and using tools such as levels, lasers, and irrigation installation kits. Industry knowledge of local building codes, soil types in Northern Colorado, sustainable practices, and plant hardiness zones is vital. Required certifications include OSHA 30-hour construction safety, CPR/First Aid, and pesticide applicator license if applicable. Physical ability to work outdoors in varying weather, lift 50+ pounds, and stand for extended periods is non-negotiable.
Success demands strong technical skills in construction software like Procore or Bluebeam for documentation, alongside hands-on expertise with masonry, grading, and drainage systems. Soft skills such as exceptional communication for client updates and team directives, decisive leadership to handle high-pressure deadlines, and meticulous problem-solving to mitigate risks are essential. Industry competencies include budgeting accuracy, vendor negotiation, and a safety-first mindset that prioritizes zero-incident worksites, ensuring compliance and efficiency in dynamic field environments.
Lindgren Landscape, a premier Fort Collins-based firm, specializes in custom residential and commercial landscaping with a mission to create enduring, eco-friendly outdoor havens.
