Foreman

MacKay Contracting Ltd. is a progressive and well-established Heavy Civil Construction and Mining Services company.

For over 40 years, we’ve delivered the projects others avoid — from roads and bridges to utilities, mine infrastructure, and large-scale earthworks.

With operations throughout Western Canada, we’re proud to build the foundations communities depend on.

We’re seeking a Civil Foreman to oversee the daily operations of project crews.

This role ensures that each day’s work is planned, resourced, and executed to the highest quality and safety standards, while coordinating closely with the Civil Project Manager to meet client and project requirements.

As Civil Foreman, you’ll be the front-line leader of your crew.

You’ll provide clear direction, guidance, and mentorship while ensuring schedules, resources, and safety requirements are met.

You’ll be a key link between the field, management, and clients — keeping projects moving smoothly and efficiently.

• Provide daily direction to crews, keeping them on track with schedules and project goals
• Work closely with the Superintendent, Project Manager, and crew to plan upcoming activities
• Communicate project requirements and progress to crews, clients, and internal departments
• Ensure pre-locates are performed for all existing utilities prior to work commencing
• Forward plan for materials, subcontractors, and testing requirements (e.g., density, pressure, beam tests, proof rolls)
• Lead daily toolbox talks and participate in meetings on production, scheduling, and conflict resolution
• Ensure accurate and timely reporting of timesheets and work orders to head office
• Conduct end-of-project inventory of materials and ensure removal from site
• Provide training and mentorship to crew members, supporting their development and accountability
