What do you look for in hiring foremen?

Found a neat role for the next stage of a project in my city that I previously worked on most of the pavement works at. They're looking for a site foreman and it fits me pretty well I think (I hope).

Spent 5 years in civil construction mostly doing roading, last two in a leading hand capacity. At the moment being sporadically trained to be more proficient on the grader but I don't think it will be for a while before it gets more often, so went looking and now I found this role.

Essentially, what do you think about in what you would want in a site foreman who doesn't really have experience as a foreman? I am fairly confident I have what it takes but I always have issues in communicating what I am capable of
