Shotcrete Nozzleman

Gunite/Shotcrete Nozzleman

Mid-American Pools is a leading pool construction and pool service company in Cincinnati and the greater tri-state region. Mid-American is renowned for delivering luxury, complex, and large-scale pool projects with excellence. We pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence, quality, and client satisfaction.

We are seeking an experienced Gunite/Shotcrete Nozzleman to join our construction crew. The ideal candidate will have experience specifically working the nozzle on a gunite or shotcrete wet mix crew and experience with trimming, carving, and/or cutting. As a Nozzleman, you will be responsible for applying shotcrete in various swimming pool construction projects, ensuring high-quality results and adherence to safety standards.

If you've worked in travel infrastructure work, tunnels, tanks, basements, or other confined spaces, pool construction offers a refreshing change of pace:

• Limited Overnight Travel:
  Overnight travel is a rarity with us and typically is only needed a handful of days each year. We are typically either doing local work or daily commuting to regional jobsites.
• Work in Open-Air Environments:
  Say goodbye to dark, dusty, claustrophobic jobsites. Most of our work is outside in open residential settings—not industrial enclosures.
• More Artistic & Varied Work:
  Pools aren't just about thickness—they're about shape. You'll use your nozzle and trimming skills creatively, sculpting contours, benches, steps, and custom features.
• Lighter Schedule, Strong Culture:
  No overnight tunnel pours or multi-week industrial shutdowns. Our team is home most evenings and weekends, with a work culture rooted in professionalism and respect.
• Client-Facing, Visible Results:
  You'll help build something beautiful—where the homeowner actually sees and appreciates your work. It's a tangible impact you don't get in buried infrastructure projects.
• Upskill for Certification and Growth:
  We support ACI certification and cross-train for equipment, forming, and leadership roles—setting you up for advancement.
