Why This Is a Great Opportunity

  • Step into a true foreman-level role where your commercial door and gate expertise is trusted and valued.
  • Lead crews in the field and take ownership of installations, repairs, maintenance, troubleshooting, and job-site execution.
  • Work on a wide range of commercial overhead doors, automatic doors, vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, operators, controls, and safety systems.
  • Earn additional prevailing-wage compensation on qualifying projects.
  • Join an established specialty contractor with steady work and opportunities to make a visible impact.
  • Work independently without being micromanaged while helping less-experienced technicians succeed.
  • Build your career with a team that values technical expertise, accountability, customer service, and quality workmanship.

Location: Field-based and on-site in San Diego, California. Candidates currently located in San Diego or Orange County are encouraged to apply, and qualified candidates willing to relocate to work locally will also be considered.

Note: This is a senior trade position, not a general construction foreman role. Candidates must have 7+ years of direct commercial door and gate field experience, including at least 4 years as a technician and 3+ years as a foreman or lead. You must be able to independently install, repair, maintain, and troubleshoot commercial overhead doors, gates, and automatic doors without supervision.

Our team takes pride in solving challenging field problems, delivering quality installations, and giving experienced technicians the responsibility and support to do their best work.

Job Description

  • Lead commercial overhead door, gate, and automatic door installations, repairs, and maintenance in the field.

  • Install and service commercial overhead doors of all types, vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, automatic doors, operators, controls, and safety devices.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, operator, control, and safety-device issues without supervision.
  • Read and interpret plans, shop drawings, specifications, and submittals and install work accordingly.
  • Coordinate field activities and communicate effectively with customers, contractors, project teams, and crew members.
  • Identify job-site problems early and take ownership of practical solutions.
  • Ensure work is completed accurately, professionally, and to commercial standards.
  • Mentor technicians and provide hands-on field leadership when needed.
  • Support repairs and preventative maintenance in addition to new commercial installations.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of direct commercial door and gate field experience required.
  • 4+ years of hands-on technician experience required.
  • 3+ years of commercial door or gate foreman or lead experience required.
  • Strong hands-on experience with commercial overhead doors, vehicle gates, pedestrian gates, and automatic doors.
  • Ability to independently troubleshoot operators, controls, and safety devices.
  • Strong knowledge of commercial installation, repair, and maintenance practices.
  • Ability to read plans, shop drawings, specifications, and submittals.
  • Proven ability to lead crews and keep field projects on schedule.
  • Valid California driver's license and clean driving record required.
  • Must reside in San Diego or Orange County or be willing to relocate and work locally.

Why You Will Love Working Here

You will be hired for what you already know and trusted to use that expertise. This is an opportunity to lead crews, solve challenging field problems, work across a variety of commercial door and gate systems, and make a direct impact on job-site performance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
