About Us: We are a fast growing General Contractor focused on serving property management companies and investors. Our customers love us because we are fast and reliable, and we do the work correctly. We have 3 major areas of our business. About half of our business is handling make readies and rehabs for property management companies. A quarter of our business comes from larger scale rehab projects for investors or property managers. The last quarter of our business is new construction. We have a strict no asshole policy - life is too short to deal with jerks. We are a laid back crew, and everyone at our company is easy to get along with. We’re a small team right now of 9 guys, working 3-5 projects per week. We work hard but don’t rush the work. We don’t cut corners, but always look for good ways to save our customers money on a project.
Position Overview: We are currently seeking an experienced Construction Foreman to oversee and manage construction projects. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 5+ years of experience in a foreman role, with an understanding of OSHA safety standards, team management, and budget management.
The day-to-day work is varied depending on the projects we have going on. On a given day you might be doing carpentry, framing, flooring, drywall patches, painting, installing appliances, swapping out windows or doors, or any number of other things. We sub out plumbing, electrical, roofing, foundation, large drywall jobs, and most (not all) of our large paint projects.
Location: We work all around the Kansas City area. Most of our work is in KCMO, but we have jobs in Independence, KCK, Grandview, etc. The farthest out we typically go is Northeast to Kearney, Southwest to Peculiar/Raymore, Northwest to Leavenworth, and Southwest to Spring Hill. When you go out of the KC metro, we pay an extra hour per day per man for the travel and gas. But 90% of our work is right in Kansas City.
