About this job
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
