Construction Foreman

Working Foreman – Commercial Carpentry (Rochester, NY area)

Milestone Construction Partners is hiring an experienced Working Foreman to lead crews on commercial carpentry projects in the Rochester area — framing, drywall, ceilings, doors/frames/hardware, casework, trim, and specialties. The role is split roughly 60% supervising and 40% hands-on, so you'll stay directly involved in the work while managing the crew.

Our Self Perform division operates as its own business unit, taking on select projects for our GC division as well as work directly with outside clients. That means more variety across projects and steady, consistent work in the local market.

Pay & Benefits

• Base salary: $72,800–$85,280/year
• Quarterly bonus program — clear, measurable, foremen included
• Health insurance (Milestone covers $8,000/year toward your plan)
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Fuel card
• Vehicle Allowance
• $750/year tool and gear allowance
• Paid time off, holidays, and parental leave
• Dental, vision, and life insurance
• Company events
• Total compensation (base + benefits) averages $111,000–$124,000 per year, not including incentive pay

What You'll Do

• Supervise and work alongside carpenters and laborers, setting daily goals and leading by example
• Perform carpentry tasks approximately 40% of the time — framing, drywall, ceilings, finish work
• Plan work, lead daily huddles, and coordinate with project superintendents and other trades
• Read drawings, perform take-offs, and plan materials and manpower
• Enforce safety standards and maintain quality on every job
• Track hours, labor budgets, and materials, documenting daily progress in Procore

What You Bring

• A strong background in commercial carpentry and interior construction
• Experience leading crews as a foreman, lead carpenter, or similar
• Ability to read drawings, perform take-offs, and plan materials and manpower
• Clear communication with crews and superintendents
• A commitment to safety and first-time quality

Growth and Stability

This role can lead into a superintendent position with our GC division for those interested in advancing, and into regional opportunities as Milestone expands into new markets. For those who prefer to stay local, we have a strong, steady pipeline of Rochester-area work. Whether you're looking to grow or to stay put, Milestone supports either path.

Ready to Apply?

If you're an experienced leader who's comfortable running a crew and staying hands-on with the tools, we'd like to hear from you. Apply to join Milestone as a Working Foreman in our Self Perform Work Building Division.
