What We Are Looking For We are looking for a Foreman who: Leads from the field

• is visible, engaged and actively manages the crew. Understands the work
• can identify whether an installation is correct rather than simply tracking technicians. Drives production
• understands daily targets and keeps crews productive. Owns the team
• technicians come to the Foreman first with field questions and concerns. Protects the SOW
• understands what Verveba is contracted to perform and identifies changes before work proceeds. Maintains quality
• catches problems during installation rather than at closeout. Communicates clearly
• keeps the PM and customer informed without creating unnecessary confusion. Solves problems
• brings solutions and recommendations when escalating issues. Maintains discipline
• holds technicians accountable for attendance, PPE, safety, productivity and workmanship. Takes ownership
• treats the project as Verveba's responsibility from mobilization through acceptance.

Success in This Role Success will be measured by: Safety | Attendance | Crew Productivity | Installation Quality | Schedule | Customer Satisfaction | SOW Control | Communication | Successful Closeout This is not a passive supervisory position . The Foreman is Verveba's onsite field leader and is expected to take ownership of the crew, daily execution and quality of the work. The customer should not have to manage Verveba technicians. Our Foreman owns our people, our production and our field execution.
