The Role
We're looking for a hands‑on working foreman who can lead a paving crew doing new construction and maintenance jobs.

- Operate and direct equipment including paver, roller, skid steer, backhoe, dozer.
- Must be able to operate a paver.
- 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.
- Self‑Directed & Action‑Oriented - You don't wait for instructions; you move fast and expect results.
- Detail‑Driven & Organized - You catch what others miss and plan site flow two steps ahead.
- Technically Strong - You know paving, seal coating, and striping equipment and what "right" looks like.
- Clear & Direct Communicator - You set expectations with crews and explain site plans to clients confidently.
- Results‑Focused - You deliver jobs safely, on time, and to spec, period.
- Hands‑On Leader - You lead from the front, setting pace and example, not just from the truck.
- 3‑5 years of experience in paving and pavement maintenance.
- At least 1‑2 years in a crew leadership or foreman role.
- Ability to read site plans, create simple layout sketches, and use digital documentation tools.
- Valid driver’s license required;

- Strong mechanical aptitude and field awareness.
- Competitive hourly pay of $25‑$32, depending on experience with overtime
- Company truck or vehicle stipend
