My team is recruiting pipe foreman for urgent job openings in the Carolinas at leading infrastructure and heavy civil contractors. Primary experience desired is leading 4-6 man pipe crews on sitework or highway projects installing sewer, water, and storm drainage pipe.

  • Proven experience as a Pipe Foreman / Utilities Foreman
  • Strong background installing storm, water, and sewer (deep & shallow)
  • Comfortable reading plans and running work to get production safely and on schedule
  • Solid leadership — keeps crews productive and accountable
  • Knows how to problem-solve when conditions change underground
Nice to have:
  • DOT or heavy civil project experience for turnkey sitework
  • Experience coordinating pipe + grading on the same job
  • Familiarity with erosion control requirements and inspections
  • Operating experience on all heavy equipment related to pipe installations


Why this role:
  • Stable, long-term work with a reputable civil contractor
  • Foreman-level authority — you're trusted to run your scope
