Job Summary

Congruex is launching a new volumetric concrete division supporting micro-trench fiber optic installations—and we’re looking for a hands-on Project Manager to help build it. This is not a job for someone maintaining an existing system. This role is for a builder who understands volumetric/mobile mix operations, trench backfill, and fast-paced underground construction, and wants ownership in standing up crews, trucks, suppliers, and processes from day one. You will play a key role in launching, stabilizing, and scaling a new internal operation that supports multiple crews and markets.

• Aiding in evaluating mobile batching vs. silo-based batching strategies
• Ensuring consistent flowable fill/backfill quality and compliance with project specs
• Tracking job costs, production rates, and productivity metrics
• Partnering with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and cost controls
• Developing operational workflows, safety standards, and quality processes
• Supporting crew expansion, equipment additions, and geographic growth

Required Skills/Abilities

• General: 5+ years in concrete operations, underground utilities, or volumetric batching
• Hands-on experience with volumetric trucks or mobile batch plants
• Strong understanding of trench backfill, CLSM, flowable fill, or specialty mixes
• Ability to work independently and make field-level decisions
• Experience coordinating multiple crews in active construction environments

Preferred

• Previous startup or greenfield operations experience
