He’s such a good resource of information

I work in asphalt mostly state work. My foreman is retiring at the end of the season around December January. I’ll be moving up to foreman when we start the season April March. I’m 23 and I’ve been in asphalt since I was 19. The company I’m with I’ve been there going on 3 years. Im a little nervous. I’ll be the youngest foreman the company has had.

Very similar situation as me. I started just over two years ago (I'm now 23) and my current foreman is leaving.

Reading this after a year, I hope you've got it covered. Best of luck, God bless you

I recently became a Shop Foreman in a similar fashion as well- I am new to this position. I am 27 years old and been in the Fruit Harvest industry for 5 years. This video has definitely given me clarity on focusing in on this role. I especially enjoyed the segment of the video where it was emphasized "train others around you" - I work with guys that are willing to learn, show up every day, and use resources to educate themselves and others! Thanks so much for the clear-cut video !

Hey J, thank you for the kind words! Good luck in your career. Sounds like you're off to a great start!

Great video! Thanks for bringing in Jeff for a chat, it was awesome to hear from someone with so much experience. His focus on developing and promoting from within really pays off in the long term.

Thanks SiteCam!

funny. my non working foreman that would sit in the truck all day, make multiple trips to the lumber store everyday (forget something on every trip) would always come back to site with a fresh coffee just for himself... made more than any of our working foremans. it's hard to be motivated and put in hard work when you look out the window and see your "foreman" on instagram, Facebook, snap chat etc

In the long run, the foremen who provide the most value are the ones who will be successful. Hang in there Zach!

I worked with a foreman as a leading hand just like that and I was keeping the crew moving and organized then the next foreman I worked with was 73 worked twice as hard as me and treated me like I couldn't use a shovel correctly. I preferred the foreman sitting in the office I can tell you that. And tomorrow I start work for a new company and I will be the foreman I still feel like a fish out of water and I don't want to be off the tools so I will be mixing it up keeping my boys motivated helping improve there skills and keeping up on my paperwork to the best of my abilities and I'm only 35yrs old 10 years owning a smash repairs then 2 years in mining and now 5 years in construction.

Happy New Year to all of you. I am bloody construction. I am a foreman in civil works. and now i am looking for a good company that i can serve honestly and with care. most of all. to finish the project safely and with quality ..

I'm soon to take over the position from my current foreman since he is leaving our contracting company. I've only been building pole buildings for just over two years now.. This is very helpful information. Thank you.

You have to make up for that with production is the biggest bulshit ever and is ruining our construction economy.

Thanks for commenting! Construction is a tough business. If you want to succeed, you must strive to come in on budget. And when you don't, you need to be able to look at your numbers and understand what went wrong.

@@profitdig what went wrong yes. But when the GC ask the sheetrocker to double time because the concrete guy was late and doesn't want to pay extra... Or when the painters and electricians are working in the same area... I understand there are expectations and deadlines. Positive attitude in communication and realistic expectation lower stress levels and allow for more fluid production. The business end of this has already ruined the industry. Thanks for your comment.
