This is a traveling position supporting projects across the Central, Southwest, and Southeast U.S. You’ll move with the work, lead from the front, and be expected to maintain safety, quality, and productivity standards across changing job sites. This role is best suited for someone who takes ownership of their crew and takes pride in delivering results.

- Lead daily crew operations with a focus on production, safety, and quality
- Plan and coordinate manpower, equipment, materials, and workflow
- Work alongside the crew when needed to keep production on pace
- Communicate directly with the Superintendent on progress, needs, and issues
- Track quantities, productivity, and complete daily reports and timesheets
