The Senior Foreman is responsible for leading the successful delivery of multiple masonry projects by overseeing Site Foremen, supporting project teams and ensuring projects are delivered safely, profitably, on programme and to Brickit's quality standards.

This role works alongside another Senior Foreman, with each responsible for managing their own portfolio of projects while collectively supporting Brickit's construction operations. Together, the Senior Foremen manage and coordinate labour, maintain builder relationships and provide hands‑on leadership to ensure projects are delivered safely, profitably and to Brickit's high standards.

Unlike a traditional supervisory role, the Senior Foreman remains actively involved in construction, providing hands‑on leadership where it adds the greatest value. This includes assisting with project establishment, set out, complex construction details, labour support and resolving on‑site challenges during critical stages of a project.

The Senior Foreman is both a leader and a practical construction professional who leads by example, develops people and supports project delivery across the business.
