Job Description

  • Lead daily field operations for remediation, demolition, excavation, cap placement, trenching, and site restoration activities.

  • Supervise union and non-union equipment operators, laborers, teamsters, drillers, and subcontractors on active project sites.

  • Coordinate work sequencing, equipment use, contractor activities, and daily production goals to maintain schedule and quality.
