Ohio Concrete Maintenance is looking for a senior field leader who can help run complex bridge and heavy highway work across the Greater Cleveland / Northeast Ohio market and surrounding regions.

This is not a standard single‑project Superintendent seat. The right person will work closely with leadership to oversee multiple active projects, support Foremen, coordinate crews and subcontractors, solve field issues, and help strengthen the company’s field operations as OCM continues to grow.

This role is ideal for someone with deep DOT, bridge, or heavy civil experience who wants more autonomy, more influence, and a real path to senior leadership without getting stuck inside a large corporate structure.

• Oversee day‑to‑day field execution across bridge, heavy highway, structural concrete, culvert, overlay, and DOT‑related projects.
• Manage multiple active jobs or project locations at once, depending on workload and season.
• Support and guide Project Foremen, crew leads, operators, laborers, and subcontractors in the field.
• Read, interpret, and execute project plans, specifications, elevations, DOT requirements, and field drawings.
• Coordinate manpower, equipment, materials, subcontractors, schedules, and site logistics.
• Keep work moving safely, efficiently, and within project requirements.
• Identify and resolve field issues before they become schedule, quality, or cost problems.
• Communicate clearly with ownership, project leadership, Foremen, inspectors, subcontractors, and crew members.
• Help mentor strong Foremen and future field leaders as the company builds its next generation of leadership.
• Step in hands‑on when needed to keep work moving, while maintaining the leadership and oversight required of the role.

Experience with bridge deck paving and concrete paving equipment is highly valuable, especially:

• Bidwell concrete pavers
• Bridge deck overlays
• Concrete screeding / paving operations
• Equipment setup, rail setup, crown / cross‑slope considerations, calibration, troubleshooting, and field operation
• DOT bridge repair and structural concrete work
• Bidwell experience is not the only thing we value, but it is a major plus for this role.

• 10+ years of heavy highway, bridge, DOT, structural concrete, or closely related civil construction experience.
• Strong background leading field work on public infrastructure or DOT‑style projects.
• Proven ability to manage crews, Foremen, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and schedules.
• Ability to read and interpret civil plans, bridge plans, specifications, elevations, and DOT requirements.
• Strong understanding of safe field execution in active roadway, bridge, traffic‑control, and heavy construction environments.
• Comfortable working in a union / prevailing wage environment.
• Willingness to travel regionally when project needs require it.
• Ability to work occasional nights or adjusted schedules when traffic control, weather, temperature, or project conditions require it.
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to earn respect from experienced field crews.
• Practical, field‑first problem‑solving ability.

• Ohio DOT experience.
• DOT experience from another state.
• Bridge repair, bridge maintenance, bridge deck, overlay, or structural concrete experience.
• Bidwell concrete paver experience.
• Experience with culverts, structural repairs, concrete patching, overlays, bridge decks, or heavy highway rehabilitation.
• Experience coordinating subcontractors while serving as the general contractor.
• OSHA 10, OSHA 30, fall protection, rigging, or other safety…
