About Us

Y Estates is seeking a hands-on Estate Foreman to oversee the maintenance, operations, and
improvement of a portfolio of private estate properties, including waterfront, farm, and
residential properties. This is an active leadership role for someone who enjoys managing
projects, and leading by example.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a working foreman—not a traditional property manager. Approximately
75% of your time will be spent on-site performing hands-on work alongside the
maintenance crew, with the remaining time dedicated to planning projects, coordinating
contractors, and managing ongoing improvements.

• Oversee the day-to-day maintenance of multiple estate properties.
• Perform hands-on landscaping, maintenance, repairs, and general property upkeep.
• Lead and manage the on-site maintenance crew.
• Coordinate renovation and construction projects.
• Schedule and supervise contractors for specialized trades when required.
• Ensure all properties, buildings, and grounds are maintained to a high standard.
• Prioritize maintenance projects, source materials, and coordinate ongoing
• improvements.

Required Skills and Knowledge

• Experience in construction, property maintenance, landscaping, or general contracting.
• Previous experience leading crews or working as a foreman or site supervisor.
• Comfortable performing physical, hands-on work daily.
• Strong project coordination and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects while working independently.
• Valid driver's license.
