Hire a Sheet Metal Foreman — VDC-fluent, install-side leaders

Sheet metal foremen sit between the coordination floor and the field — the strongest ones read the model, hit the install rate, and grow the next crew leader on the job. We recruit sheet metal foremen and general foremen against a written scorecard: coordination fluency, install productivity, and crew-development history.

How we pre-qualify Sheet Metal Foremen

  • SMACNA duct construction standards fluency
  • VDC/BIM coordination — reading Revit / Navisworks in the field
  • Install productivity benchmarks on comparable projects
  • Crew size managed and history of developing next-tier leaders
  • Trimble Field Link / total station layout where required

First qualified slate in 7–10 business days.

Frequently asked questions

Do you recruit union and merit shop separately?

Yes. Union affiliation is scoped in the intake call and every candidate is screened against your local requirements (SMART / SMACNA where applicable).

Can you find foremen who also lead VDC coordination?

Yes — VDC-fluent foremen who can review the model and drive install rate off it are one of the profiles we specialize in.
