When switching companies, foreman and crew leader pay moves based on project size and complexity, sector (heavy civil, data center, rail, and wastewater tend to pay above lighter site work), years of experience running crews, relevant certifications, and whether the role requires travel or overnight stays. Candidates who can show a track record on larger or more technical projects, and who come prepared in interviews, tend to land at the higher end of the range.
