What are the responsibilities and job description for the Asphalt Paving Crew Foreman position at Paved Assets?
About the Role
At Paved Assets, we value military leadership. We're seeking veterans, transitioning service members, and Guard/Reserve personnel to lead our paving and site development crews. If you've led a squad, team, or platoon on construction or site development projects while deployed you already have the skills to succeed here.
Must be able to operate in a fast paced and dynamic environment, setting stone and laying new asphalt one day; patching existing asphalt the next. You'll be the on-site leader who ensures jobs are completed safely, on time, and to spec, while maintaining the professionalism our clients expect. Off-site, you'll help to develop processes to continue our scale, mentor the crew, and keep equipment clean and well maintained.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead a 5–7-person crew on new paving, pavement maintenance, and site development projects.
- Operate and direct equipment including paver, roller, skid steer, backhoe, dozer.
- Plan and sequence work to maximize efficiency - from truck timing to mat compaction.
- Manage site flow, closures, cones, tape, signage, and traffic control to protect both crew and product.
- Communicate with property managers, inspectors, and office staff regarding schedules, closures, and progress.
- Ensure quality control: smooth mats, tight joints, clean edges, and proper drainage.
- Identify and resolve on-the-ground issues (weather, equipment, material deliveries, access conflicts).
- Coach and hold the crew accountable through all phases of work.
- Document daily activity with timecards, photos, and crew reports
You're a Fit If You Are
- Mission-Oriented & Proactive – You don't wait for orders; you take initiative and drive results.
- Detail-Driven & Tactical – You see risks and details others miss, and you plan the job like an operation two steps ahead.
- Technically Capable – You know equipment and standards, and you recognize what "right" looks like in the field.
- Clear & Direct Communicator – You brief crews with confidence and can translate site plans for clients and inspectors.
- Results-Focused – Like in the service, the mission isn't complete until the job is done - safely, on time, and to spec.
- Hands-On Leader – You lead from the front, setting pace and example, not just giving directions.
Requirements
- Military leadership experience (NCO, Team Leader, Squad Leader, etc.) highly valued.
- 3–5 years of construction, paving, or site development (will train veterans with relevant leadership backgrounds).
- CDL preferred; driver's license required.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and work ethic
- Must pass pre-employment background check.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and field awareness.
