Estate Maintenance - Service Foreman Service and Small Project Division I High End Residential Construction
San Francisco, CA & the SF Peninsula -- Full Time No Recruiters Please!
ABOUT THE ROLE Van Acker Construction builds exceptional, high-end custom homes with a commitment to quality craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and outstanding client service. Our Service & Small Project Division provides ongoing maintenance, repair, and renovation services to our clients’ completed homes and estate properties.
We’re looking for a skilled Estate Maintenance / Service Foreman to join our small, dedicated team of experienced field professionals.

You’ll handle everything from straightforward repairs to small remodel projects in some of the Bay Area’s finest homes.
Our clients are discerning homeowners who expect white-glove service. Their homes are typically owner-occupied, so discretion, confidentiality, and a polished professional presence are essential. You may work directly with the homeowner or their estate manager, individually on smaller tasks or as part of a team on larger projects. Either way, you’ll represent Van Acker with the care and professionalism our reputation is built on.
