  • Proven experience leading concrete crews on active commercial jobsites.
  • Ability to independently read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
  • Strong knowledge of layout, elevations, grades, dimensions, and project sequencing.

  • Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to safely operate company vehicles and move tools or equipment between jobsites.

  • Five or more years leading concrete crews.
  • Experience managing multiple phases of commercial projects with limited owner supervision.
