Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are hiring an Operations Manager to take ownership of active construction projects and play a hands-on role in project execution, crew scheduling, and field coordination.

This is not a desk-only position. The Operations Manager will be deeply involved in day-to-day operations, working closely with field crews, office staff, and clients to ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and profitably.

If you understand construction from the field up, can juggle multiple jobs, and know how to keep crews moving — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do
  • Manage multiple projects from award through closeout
  • Build and manage weekly and daily crew schedules
  • Coordinate manpower, equipment, trucking, and job priorities across active projects
  • Manage the scheduling and coordination of material suppliers and subcontractors to support project execution
  • Work directly with field leadership to sequence work and maximize productivity
  • Adjust schedules in real time based on weather, production, or client needs
  • Lead pre-job meetings, field walks, and schedule confirmations
  • Track job costs, quantities, change orders, and production vs. budget
  • Identify and resolve scope gaps, conflicts, and operational issues proactively
  • Coordinate with estimating, accounting, and operations teams
  • Ensure safety, quality, and company standards are upheld on every job
  • Oversee the creation and coordination of work orders for fleet and equipment repairs performed by in-house mechanic
What We’re Looking For
  • 7+ years of construction project/operations management experience
  • Proven experience managing field crews in a self-perform environment
  • Strong understanding of construction sequencing and production rates
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities
  • Strong communication skills with crews, clients, and internal teams
  • Comfortable making decisions and solving problems in real time
  • Proficient with construction management and scheduling tools
  • Valid driver’s license and willingness to be in the field
Preferred Experience
  • Asphalt paving, concrete, or civil construction background
  • Experience working closely with superintendents and foremen
  • Strong operational mindset with cost and schedule accountability
