About this role
Frey & Muller is hiring a Foreman to oversee wet utility installation at Bernard Elementary School in Ward 4. You'll lead a small crew through the full scope of underground infrastructure work—grading, trenching, and installing stormwater, sanitary sewer, and domestic water lines, plus setting precast structures. This is a hands-on leadership role that demands both technical expertise in heavy equipment operation and the ability to manage people, schedules, and safety on a daily basis.
The position requires 3–5 years of direct experience in wet utility work, with proven proficiency operating excavators and skid steers. You'll need to read blueprints, coordinate with the Superintendent and Project Manager, plan work at least 24 hours ahead, and maintain rigorous documentation of production, hours, and site conditions. Safety is non-negotiable—you'll conduct daily toolbox talks, enforce OSHA compliance, and keep the site organized and secure. Strong communication skills matter as much as technical knowledge, since you'll interact with crew, subcontractors, clients, and on-site representatives.
The role is full-time and based in Washington, DC, with a competitive salary, performance bonuses, health/dental/vision coverage, paid time off, 401(k) matching, and a company vehicle and phone. You'll need a valid driver's license, the ability to pass a federal background check, and the physical capacity to work outdoors in all weather while lifting up to 50 lbs and performing tasks requiring standing, walking, climbing, kneeling, and crouching.
