Fox Mechanical is a commercial HVAC contractor building and retrofitting mechanical systems across Colorado. We're hiring a Superintendent / General Foreman to run our field operations: lead the crews, own the schedule on site, and deliver every job safely, on time, and on budget.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll be supporting foremen across multiple active projects, and you'll be the main field contact for general contractors, inspectors, and our office team.
What you'll do
- Lead installation crews on commercial HVAC projects: ductwork, piping, equipment setting, and startup on RTUs, VAV systems, split systems, boilers, and chillers.
- Run day-to-day field operations across multiple job sites, assigning foremen, journeymen, and apprentices to keep every project staffed.
- Build and maintain the field schedule, coordinating with the GC, other trades, and our project managers.
- Read and interpret mechanical drawings, specs, and submittals; lay out work and resolve conflicts before they hit the field.
- Enforce our safety program: daily job hazard analyses, weekly toolbox talks, OSHA compliance, and a clean site.
- Track labor hours against the estimate and flag overruns, change orders, and scope gaps to the office early.
- Order and manage material and equipment deliveries so crews never wait on parts.
- Schedule and pass inspections, and manage punch lists, testing, balancing coordination, and closeout.
- Represent the company on site meetings and keep owners and GCs confident in our work.
- Train and mentor foremen and apprentices, and help us develop the next generation of field leaders.
- Ensure foremen are submitting daily reports, timesheets, and job photos on time.
What you bring
- 8+ years in commercial HVAC installation, including at least 3 years running crews as a foreman or general foreman.
- Hands-on experience with sheet metal and mechanical piping on commercial new construction and tenant improvement work.
- Ability to read mechanical plans and specs and turn them into a workable field plan.
- A track record of finishing jobs on schedule and within labor budget.
- Colorado or local jurisdiction mechanical license (Denver Journeyman or Master preferred), or the ability to obtain one.
- OSHA 30, or willingness to complete it within 90 days.
- EPA 608 Universal certification.
- Clear communication with GCs, inspectors, crews, and the office, in person, by phone, and in writing.
- Comfort with job-site apps, email, and digital timesheets.
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record.

Tips for Your General Foreman Job Search
Tailor your resume to project scale
General foreman postings consistently screen for dollar value and scope of projects you've overseen. List the contract value, crew size, and type of work for each role so hiring managers can gauge whether your experience matches what they're staffing.
List every relevant certification upfront
OSHA 30, CPR, first aid, and trade-specific certifications like NCCER or AWS are frequently listed as requirements, not preferences. Put them in a dedicated section at the top of your resume so they're spotted before a recruiter reads your work history.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists general foreman openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by project type, not just title
A general foreman role in vertical construction is a different job than one on a highway or pipeline project. When you search, refine by keywords like 'commercial', 'underground', or 'industrial' to surface openings that match your actual field experience.
Prepare for field-based scenario questions
Interviewers for general foreman positions typically ask how you've handled schedule slippage, subcontractor disputes, or safety incidents on-site. Rehearse two or three specific examples with concrete outcomes, not general descriptions of how you manage crews.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Per diem, truck allowance, and overtime structure vary widely across contractors. Before accepting an offer, ask for a full breakdown of those components so you're comparing the actual value of two offers, not just the headline figure.
General Foreman Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most general foremans?
The companies hiring the most general foremans right now include Brasfield & Gorrie, Sibanye Stillwater, and Cianbro, with the largest share of openings in Montana, North Carolina, and Colorado, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Activity shifts with infrastructure cycles, so checking current listings gives you the most accurate picture.
How many general foreman jobs are remote?
About 0% of general foreman openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, site-based nature of most roles. The small share of remote or hybrid positions tends to cluster in project management, estimating, or multi-site coordination functions rather than direct field supervision.
How do you become a general foreman?
Most general foremans move up from journeyman or foreman roles after demonstrating consistent performance on progressively larger projects. Start by completing your trade apprenticeship or gaining equivalent field experience, then pursue an OSHA 30 certification and any trade-specific credentials your sector requires. Taking on lead responsibilities, mentoring crew members, and volunteering for complex assignments signals readiness for the general foreman level to most contractors.
Can you get hired as a general foreman with limited supervisory experience?
Some contractors will hire candidates with strong trade skills but limited supervisory history if they can demonstrate leadership on the job site. Emphasize any informal lead roles you've held, crews you've trained, or projects where you coordinated work without a formal title. Smaller contractors and specialty subcontractors tend to be more flexible on direct supervisory experience than large general contractors.
What does the general foreman interview process look like?
Most general foreman interviews involve an initial call with HR or a recruiter, followed by a technical interview with a project manager or superintendent who will ask about your field experience, crew management approach, and how you've handled safety or schedule issues on past jobs. Some employers conduct a site walk or practical assessment. Reference checks with previous superintendents or project managers are standard before an offer is extended.
