An asphalt paving foreman oversees the laying of asphalt during a construction project. In this role, you meet with the project manager to understand the scope of the project and determine what supplies and staff you need. Once you have established what you need, you map out the timeline for the asphalt segment of the project, deploy your crews, and supervise them as they pave, patch, and resurface different areas. You ensure your staff completes their sections safely and efficiently and push to meet project deadlines. The asphalt paving foreman primarily acts as a supervisor in the project, but you may be required to operate heavy equipment when necessary.
