Build Projects. Lead Crews. Set the Standard.
At Terrace, we believe exceptional projects are built by leaders who are willing to roll up their sleeves. We are looking for an experienced Working Foreman who enjoys leading by example, mentoring crews, and delivering quality work while remaining actively involved in construction.
This is not a position for someone who simply supervises from the sidelines. Our Working Foremen are hands-on construction professionals who work alongside the crew, solve problems in real time, and help ensure our projects are completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.
If you are a tradesperson who takes pride in craftsmanship, enjoys leading others, and wants to build meaningful projects throughout Alberta, we'd like to hear from you.
About Terrace
Terrace is a project and development management firm providing leadership throughout planning, design, procurement, and construction.

Our culture is built on professionalism, accountability, teamwork, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Site Superintendent, the Working Foreman provides day-to-day leadership to field crews while actively participating in construction activities. This role helps coordinate daily work, supports project schedules, maintains quality standards, and promotes a strong culture of safety on site.
