Plant & Fleet Maintenance Lead – Class A CDL

Plant & Equipment Maintenance Manager – Class A CDL

Site-Mix Concrete | Columbus, Ohio

Job Description

Site-Mix Concrete is looking for a dependable, mechanically inclined, and TEAM-oriented individual to oversee the daily maintenance, organization, and operational readiness of our concrete production facility, trucks, and equipment.

We operate a fleet of volumetric concrete mixer trucks, dump trucks, and supporting equipment. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of equipment, enjoys solving mechanical problems, and understands the importance of preventative maintenance and keeping operations running efficiently.

This is not primarily a driving position. While a valid Class A CDL is required, the primary focus will be plant operations, equipment maintenance, asset management, and supporting our production team. The right candidate must also be willing and able to operate our trucks when needed.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys a combination of mechanical work, equipment management, problem-solving, and occasional driving.

Primary Responsibilities

Plant Operations & Management

• Oversee the daily readiness, organization, and general upkeep of our concrete production facility.
• Maintain aggregate bins, cement storage systems, conveyors, material handling equipment, and supporting plant infrastructure.
• Monitor material inventories and coordinate replenishment of cement, aggregates, admixtures, and other production supplies.
• Help maintain proper inventory levels and ensure materials are stored and handled correctly.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized plant, shop, equipment yard, and surrounding property.
• Assist with plant improvements, repairs, and facility projects.
• Support day-to-day dispatch and production operations as needed.

Equipment Maintenance & Asset Management

• Take ownership of preventative maintenance programs for our fleet of volumetric concrete trucks, dump trucks, and supporting equipment.
• Perform and coordinate routine maintenance, including greasing, oil changes, filter changes, inspections, adjustments, and minor mechanical repairs.
• Identify mechanical issues before they become major breakdowns.
• Track equipment service intervals, maintenance records, inspections, and repair needs.
• Coordinate outside vendors and repair facilities when work cannot be performed in-house.
• Maintain an organized inventory of spare parts, tools, maintenance supplies, and equipment accessories.
• Monitor equipment condition, cleanliness, and overall readiness.
• Help establish and maintain equipment inspection checklists and maintenance procedures.
• Ensure trucks and equipment are prepared, fueled, maintained, and ready for scheduled operations.
• Assist with equipment calibration, testing, and operational adjustments.

Class A CDL Driving & Equipment Operation – As Needed

• Operate volumetric concrete mixer trucks to deliver and produce concrete at customer job sites.
• Operate dump trucks to haul aggregates, spoil materials, and other construction materials.
• Assist with material deliveries, equipment transportation, and logistical needs.
• Follow mix designs, delivery tickets, and operating procedures when producing concrete.
• Communicate professionally with customers, contractors, and field crews.
• Perform required pre-trip and post-trip inspections and maintain appropriate DOT records.
• Assist with truck washout, cleaning, and end-of-day procedures.

Driving assignments will vary based on workload, staffing, weather, and operational needs. The primary responsibility will remain maintaining and managing the company's plant and equipment.

Additional Responsibilities

• Assist with snow removal operations, including plow trucks and salt spreaders.
• Perform minor facility repairs and general shop maintenance.
• Assist with troubleshooting electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems.
• Support special projects, equipment upgrades, and operational improvements.
• Work alongside drivers and production personnel to identify and correct recurring equipment problems.

Required Qualifications

• Valid Class A CDL with an acceptable driving record.

• Ability to perform routine maintenance and troubleshoot basic mechanical problems.
• Good organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to use computers, tablets, smartphones, and electronic maintenance tracking systems.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and follow through on responsibilities.
• Willingness to perform hands-on work in a shop, plant, yard, and job-site environment.
• Strong communication skills and a team-oriented attitude.

Preferred Experience

• Previous experience in concrete production, ready-mix, volumetric concrete, or aggregate operations.
• Experience with commercial truck or heavy equipment maintenance.
• Familiarity with diesel engines, hydraulics, electrical systems, and pneumatic equipment.
• Experience managing preventative maintenance schedules or equipment inventories.
• Experience operating volumetric concrete mixers, dump trucks, loaders, or skid steers.
• Previous plant management, shop management, or fleet maintenance experience.

Concrete industry experience is a plus and will be reflected in compensation.

Schedule & Work Environment

• Full-time, W-2 position with paid overtime.
• In-season: Typically 40–50 hours per week.
• Off-season: Typically 30–35 hours per week.
• Monday–Friday schedule with occasional additional hours based on workload, weather, or operational needs.
• No over-the-road travel or overnight routes.
• Work is performed at our production facility, shop, equipment yard, and occasionally at customer job sites.

Compensation

Competitive compensation based on experience, mechanical ability, Class A CDL qualifications, and equipment management skills.

Additional compensation available for candidates with strong mechanical, maintenance management, or concrete production experience.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes pride in maintaining equipment, keeping a facility organized, and making sure operations run smoothly.

The ideal candidate is the kind of person who notices a leaking hydraulic hose before it fails, knows when a truck is due for service, keeps spare parts organized, and doesn't need to be reminded to take care of equipment.

We want someone who is comfortable getting their hands dirty, can manage their own daily priorities, and is equally willing to make a repair, organize the shop, or jump into a truck when the team needs help.

If you have a Class A CDL, strong mechanical abilities, and enjoy taking ownership of equipment and operations, we'd like to hear from you.
