The one who keeps the crew moving, the job safe and the install looking sharp? Kahn Mechanical is looking for a Construction Foreman to run a tight crew of 2-3 pipefitters, apprentices and helpers on commercial HVAC and mechanical piping projects across DFW. You'll own the work from layout to turnover: planning the day, setting the equipment, coordinating with the other trades and handing over a system you're proud of. If you love solving problems on site and bringing up the next generation of fitters, we want to meet you. What you'll do Lead your crew: schedule and direct 2-3 pipefitters, apprentices and helpers, set daily tasks and keep progress on track.
Plan the install:
sequence chilled water, heating hot water, steam, condensate, refrigerant, natural gas and domestic water piping.
Set the big stuff:
oversee chillers, boilers, rooftop units, air handlers, pumps, VAV boxes and cooling towers. Read the plan, own the field: work from mechanical drawings, BIM models, isometrics, specs and submittals, and raise RFIs to the Superintendent.
Coordinate like a pro:
lay out hangers, sleeves and penetrations and work out routing with duct, plumbing, electrical and fire protection.
Build it right:
meet code, specs and our quality standards, and lead pressure tests, flushing and pre-functional checks.
Keep everyone safe:
run daily toolbox talks and JHAs, and enforce LOTO, fall protection, hot work and confined-space permits.
Stay on budget:
track labor hours, installed quantities and material, and keep daily reports and timesheets current.
Keep the crew working:
order and receive material and tools, and manage the gang box, prefab requests and deliveries.
Close it out strong:
coordinate AHJ and GC inspections, knock out punch lists, support startup, TAB and commissioning, and deliver red-line as-builts.
Grow the next generation:
train and mentor apprentices and weigh in on crew performance and staffing.
Stay hands-on:
pick up the tools alongside your crew whenever the job calls for it.
