Exterior Skin General Foreman

About This Role

Hands-on exterior skin foreman role leading crews that install insulated metal panels, rainscreen systems, sheet metal flashing/trim, louvers and expansion joints. You’ll work in the field with crews — putting bags on, setting layout, and ensuring the wall is installed right and watertight. This is a regional role with regular travel to multi-month projects. You’ll plan work, sequence crews, manage materials and equipment, own safety and quality, and train and mentor installers. Strong performers move up into superintendent-level roles.

What You'll Do

• • Lead, coach and supervise multiple exterior skin crews in the field; assign daily work and hold crews to production and safety goals.
• • Install and inspect IMP, ACM/MCM rainscreen, sheet-metal flashing and trim, louvers, and expansion joints; perform layout and field measurements.
• • Plan and sequence work: develop installation schedules, site logistics (staging, hoisting, deliveries), and integrate exterior skin into the project schedule.
• • Own safety and quality for the exterior skin scope: lead pre-task planning, fall protection, mock-ups, inspections, punch lists and closeout docs.
• • Manage regional tools, equipment and material staging; track inventory, organize transfers between jobs, and confirm shop-fabrication matches field conditions.
• • Coordinate daily with project superintendents, engineers and other trades; document RFIs, field changes and production status.

What We're Looking For

• • 8+ years installing exterior envelope systems (metal panels, rainscreen, flashing/trim); 3–5 years in a foreman/lead role.
• • Proven hands-on experience with IMP (vertical/horizontal), single-skin on sub-framing, and ACM/MCM rainscreen systems.
• • Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, shop drawings, details and specifications and translate them to field layout.
• • Experience planning crew sequencing, site logistics, hoisting, and material handling for large panel installs.
• • Comfort working at elevation and in all weather; ability to lift materials, climb, operate lifts, and be on-site for extended travel assignments.
• • Strong communicator with craft and management; ability to train and mentor installers and enforce safety standards.

Qualifications

• • Current OSHA-30 or ability to obtain quickly.
• • Fall protection competent-person and leading-edge work training (or ability to obtain).
• • Aerial lift / boom lift certification and equipment operator qualifications preferred.
• • Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regionally for extended assignments.
• • Record of verifiable projects and references showing work supervised/installed.
• • Bilingual English/Spanish a plus.

What We Offer

• • Competitive pay (DOE) plus overtime pay for off-hours and weekend work.
• • Per diem and travel support for multi-week regional assignments; travel expenses covered.
• • Medical, dental and vision insurance options and 401(k) with employer match.
• • Paid time off and holiday pay.
• • Tool/equipment allowance and access to specialty tooling and maintenance support.
• • Hands-on training, mentorship and a clear path to superintendent-level roles.
