Heavy Equipment Crew Foreman - Veterans and Service Members

About the Role

At Paved Assets, we value military leadership. We're seeking veterans, transitioning service members, and Guard/Reserve personnel to lead our paving and site development crews. If you've led a squad, team, or platoon on construction or site development projects while deployed you already have the skills to succeed here.

Must be able to operate in a fast paced and dynamic environment, setting stone and laying new asphalt one day; patching existing asphalt the next. You'll be the on-site leader who ensures jobs are completed safely, on time, and to spec, while maintaining the professionalism our clients expect. Off-site, you'll help to develop processes to continue our scale, mentor the crew, and keep equipment clean and well maintained.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead a 5–7-person crew on new paving, pavement maintenance, and site development projects.
• Operate and direct equipment including paver, roller, skid steer, backhoe, dozer.
• 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

You're a Fit If You Are

• Mission-Oriented & Proactive – You don't wait for orders; you take initiative and drive results.
• Detail-Driven & Tactical – You see risks and details others miss, and you plan the job like an operation two steps ahead.
• Technically Capable – You know equipment and standards, and you recognize what "right" looks like in the field.
• Clear & Direct Communicator – You brief crews with confidence and can translate site plans for clients and inspectors.
• Results-Focused – Like in the service, the mission isn't complete until the job is done - safely, on time, and to spec.
• Hands-On Leader – You lead from the front, setting pace and example, not just giving directions.

Requirements

• Military leadership experience (NCO, Team Leader, Squad Leader, etc.) highly valued.
• 3–5 years of construction, paving, or site development (will train veterans with relevant leadership backgrounds).
• CDL preferred; driver's license required.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and work ethic
• Must pass pre-employment background check.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and field awareness.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay with overtime
• Company truck or vehicle stipend
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Performance bonuses based on crew productivity and quality
