ROCK CRUSHING PLANT FOREMAN

Responsibilities

• Run daily crushing plant operations start to finish — startup, shutdown, and everything in between

• Keep the plant compliant — MSHA/OSHA regulations and company safety procedures, every shift
• Hit production goals and quality specs, and know the numbers behind them
• Inspect crushers, screens, conveyors, and equipment to keep the line running safe and strong
• Coordinate maintenance and repairs, and flag mechanical issues before they become downtime
• Keep clean, accurate production, maintenance, and safety records
• Be the communication link between the plant floor and management on schedules, staffing, and issues
• Enforce a clean, organized, hazard-free plant — housekeeping is part of the job, not an afterthought
• Troubleshoot equipment problems and find ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the plant
• Manage environmental compliance, including dust control and material handling

Requirements

• A high school diploma or GED; technical or trade training is a plus
• 3–5+ years in aggregate, mining, or rock crushing operations
• Supervisory or lead experience — you've run a shift or a crew before
• Sharp working knowledge of crushing plant equipment and material flow
• Comfort with MSHA/OSHA regulations and safety best practices
• Can read and act on production schedules, maintenance logs, and equipment manuals
• Leadership, communication, and problem-solving chops — people follow you because you're good, not just because you're the boss
