Foreman - Solar Construction

An Invaleon Solar Technologies Foreman plays a pivotal role in overseeing and managing the day-to-day construction aspects of our solar projects. An ideal candidate is a hands-on leader with a strong understanding of construction processes, safety protocols, and project management. The Foreman collaborates closely with the Project Manager, providing regular updates on job progress, identifying potential or actual issues, and addressing scheduling delays. Ensuring projects are completed efficiently, on time, and within budget while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety is paramount.

A successful Foreman will adeptly handle issues as they arise, utilize available tools to find solutions, and communicate updates effectively to the Project Manager. Additionally, the Foreman is instrumental in maintaining accurate project records, sharing progress documentation promptly with the larger team. Ability to speak Spanish and/or Portuguese is extremely helpful.

The Foreman is responsible for reporting daily updates and project status to the Project Manager, and both individuals ultimately report to the Operations Manager within the organizational chain of command.
