SHARE THIS JOB POSTING:

Austin Construction Company is growing across some of the most beautiful and in-demand terrain in the region — from the mountains of Western North Carolina to the rolling landscape of Upstate South Carolina. We build the sites that become the neighborhoods, businesses, and infrastructure our communities rely on, and we’re looking for an experienced Grading Foreman who’s ready to lead a crew, take ownership of projects, and grow with a company that genuinely invests in its people.

If you’re a self-motivated leader with a sharp eye for detail, strong communication skills, and a track record of getting commercial site work done right — we want to talk to you.

Why Austin Construction Company?

We know our equipment is only as good as the people running it, and our projects are only as strong as the crews building them. That’s why we’ve built a culture around three things: training, safety, and taking care of our team.

  • We invest in your growth. From ongoing skills training to mentorship on the job, we want every foreman on our team operating at the top of their game — and we put resources behind making that happen.
  • Safety isn’t a checkbox, it’s how we operate. We equip our crews to do the job right and go home safe every single day.
  • You share in our success. Profit share means when the company wins, you win.
  • We take care of the details that matter. Competitive salary, full health/dental/vision coverage, paid vacation and holidays, and a company truck — because a foreman who’s taken care of takes care of the crew.

This is a place to build a career, not just clock in for a job.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, coordinate, and motivate a crew through the day-to-day operations of commercial grading projects
  • Read and interpret site plans with precision, and translate them into clear direction for your team
  • Coordinate directly with subcontractors to keep projects moving smoothly
  • Manage and oversee projects across WNC and Upstate SC, keeping them on schedule and on budget
  • Monitor and enforce safety standards on every site, every day
  • Work alongside your crew, lead by example, and bring a positive, get-it-done work ethic

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a grading foreman or in a similar commercial site work leadership role
  • Strong leadership and communication skills — you can direct a crew and coordinate with subcontractors with confidence
  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans and specs
  • A safety-first mindset and commitment to enforcing site regulations
  • Self-motivated, goal-oriented, and reliable — someone who takes ownership

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid vacation and holidays
  • Profit share
  • Company truck
  • Ongoing training and a genuine path to grow within the company

Ready to lead with a company that’s investing in your future as much as its own? Apply today and join a team building across Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.
