Golden, BC (Head Office) • Western & Northern Canada Projects • Full-Time

Why We Build — And Why This Role Is a Cornerstone

At Spur, we believe that the right infrastructure changes everything. In remote communities, a water system isn’t just pipes — it’s health, dignity, and long-term opportunity. A heliport isn’t just concrete — it’s access, safety, and connection. Roads, drainage, land development, and community projects aren’t “jobs”… they’re impact.

We operate where the terrain is tough, the logistics are complex, and the stakes are high. We show up anyway — because these communities deserve excellence.

Our Foremen are the heartbeat of that promise. They lead with integrity, grit, and purpose. They turn vision into reality, one decision, one crew, one day at a time.

Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced, highly capable Civil Foreperson to join Spur Construction. This is a leadership role for someone who knows civil construction inside and out — who can run crews, read full sets of drawings, plan the work, and execute it with precision.

You will lead field operations on a variety of remote and regional projects across Western and Northern Canada. This includes earthworks, roads, water/sewer systems, site prep, heliport construction, drainage systems, and unique community-driven infrastructure.

You’ll be expected to set the pace, uphold our safety culture, mentor our crews, and ensure the job is done right — the first time.

What You Will Do

Leadership & Crew Management

Lead daily field operations with confidence, clarity, and good judgment.

Mentor operators, labourers, and junior foremen; build strong, respectful crews.

Run tailgate meetings, hazard assessments, toolbox talks, enforce safe work practices and jump in a machine if necessary.

Coordinate equipment, materials, and subcontractors.

Execution & Quality Control

Interpret and execute civil construction drawings, design specs, and as-builts.

Oversee earthworks, trenching, utilities, grading, and structural prep activities.

Lay out work, establish grades, and check tolerances.

Ensure production targets are met without compromising quality or safety.

Troubleshoot issues proactively and coordinate solutions with Project Managers.

Logistics & Remote Work

Plan and manage daily and weekly schedules.

Work in challenging environments — mountain passes, coastal inlets, fly-in communities.

Maintain strong relationships with clients, community members, inspectors, and engineers.

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain daily logs, quantities, site documentation, and progress reports.

Track materials used, crew hours, and equipment time.

Provide clear communication to the office and project management team.

What You Bring

7–15+ years of civil construction experience, with at least several years in a foreman or lead-hand role including senior equipment operation skills.

Deep knowledge of earthworks, utilities, grading, road construction, and general civil infrastructure.

Strong ability to read and interpret drawings, engineering plans, and survey layouts.

Proven leadership of field crews and ability to set culture on-site.

Experience in remote, camp-based, or logistically complex projects is a strong asset.

High personal standards for quality, safety, and professionalism.

Ability to operate equipment when needed (bonus if you can run everything).

A mindset that aligns with Spur’s Why: build with purpose, integrity, and impact.

Why Spur

Projects that matter to communities — not just contracts.

A tight-knit, values-driven culture that supports growth and leadership.

Competitive pay, benefits, travel coverage, and opportunities for increased responsibility.

Work with a company that values grit, trust, and pride in workmanship.
