Operating the concrete batching system to produce quality concrete safely and efficiently

-

-
Supporting safe site operations and ensuring compliance with company procedures
-
Operating a front-end loader on occasion to support site operations (when required)
Hours:
Monday to Friday. Start and finish times vary based on demand. You'll also work alternate Saturdays based on operational requirements.
What we're looking for:
We're looking for someone who can confidently manage a busy operation, communicate well with customers and drivers, and remain calm under pressure.
