About the Opportunity

Edgett Excavating is looking for a full-time Civil Construction Foreman, Hydrovac based in Comox Valley, British Columbia.

Reporting to the General Manager, you will play a pivotal role in leading the day-to-day operations and continued growth of the Hydrovac Division, with responsibility for its employees, customers, equipment, scheduling, and overall performance.

In this position, you will be primarily responsible for coordinating crews, trucks, and customer requirements while developing employees, supporting field operations, maintaining fleet readiness, and helping the division deliver responsive, efficient, and profitable service.

Specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Leading, training, and supporting Hydrovac Operators and crew members
Coordinating daily schedules for trucks, employees, and customer assignments
Responding to changing customer requests and balancing competing operational priorities
Ensuring crews have the tools, parts, equipment, and support required to work effectively
Visiting active job sites to assess operations, support employees, and provide practical coaching
Operating Hydrovac equipment when operationally necessary
Monitoring truck readiness, cleanliness, organization, maintenance needs, and equipment inventory
Building strong relationships with customers and maintaining responsive communication
Supporting the procurement of tools, parts, and operational supplies
Identifying opportunities to improve operations, strengthen customer service, and grow the division
Taking ownership of the division’s productivity, resource utilization, and overall business performance
Working collaboratively with employees, customers, and company leadership to deliver positive outcomes

About You

To qualify, you will need 3+ years of experience in hydrovac operations, civil construction, excavation, underground utilities, or a related construction environment, along with demonstrated leadership potential.

Edgett Excavating welcomes experienced Hydrovac Operators with business, sales, customer service, training, or crew-coordination experience who are ready to step into leadership, as well as civil construction foremen and junior foremen with transferable skills. Hydrovac-specific knowledge can be taught to the right candidate.

The following are required:

Valid driver’s licence, ideally a class 1 or 3 licence
Willingness and ability to travel to and work across multiple construction sites within the region
Willingness to remain accessible by phone outside regular working hours when urgent operational issues arise

Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:

Experience coordinating crews, equipment, schedules, and changing operational priorities
Practical knowledge of civil construction, excavation, and how construction work is performed
Strong people leadership, employee training, and crew-development capabilities
The confidence to visit job sites, assess work in progress, and help employees improve
The ability to identify operational improvements and opportunities for business growth
Strong scheduling and organizational skills, with the ability to respond calmly during sudden periods of high demand
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to deliver responsive customer service and build lasting relationships
Sound problem-solving and decision-making abilities in active construction environments
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications

Our ideal candidate is a person-first leader who builds trust with employees and customers alike. You’re highly organized and remain calm when demand suddenly picks up, using sound judgement and practical problem-solving skills to make confident decisions as priorities shift. You bring grit, initiative, and an ownership mindset, pitching in wherever needed and taking genuine pride in helping the division, its people, and its customers succeed.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for a construction foreman or emerging leader ready to take a meaningful step forward in their career. If you’re looking to stay closely connected to field operations while developing employees, supporting customers, and helping grow a business, we’d love to hear from you.
