Lead the Build: Interior Systems Field Foreman

PEC Interiors is a full-service commercial specialty contractor trusted for precise installation of interior and exterior wall systems, including metal stud framing, drywall, acoustical and wood ceilings, flooring systems, plaster, and FRP. Our promise: exceptional craftsmanship, safe and organized jobsites, and relationships built to last.

A Day in This Role

You arrive early, review the day’s plan, and gather the crew for a safety huddle. By mid-morning, teams are laying out metal stud walls while ceiling crews set ACT grid in coordination with other trades. You’re walking the site with drawings in hand, checking layout against the latest revisions, confirming material deliveries, and documenting progress with photos. In the afternoon, you’re coaching a newer finisher on best-practice details, resolving a field conflict with the GC, and updating the Project Manager on production targets. The day ends with a tidy jobsite and a plan for tomorrow.
