Job description

Run the field. Earn like an owner.

Hands-on volumetric and mobile mass-flow (continuous-mix) concrete operation: run the plant, lead the placement crew, place and finish to spec. Direct Concrete runs ProAll and Cemen Tech-class mobile volumetric (mass-flow) mixers on the largest, most remote concrete pours in West Texas, including hyperscale data center campuses where schedule certainty and yardage are everything. We supply our own aggregate from a proprietary pit in Matador, so our crews keep pouring when everyone else is waiting on a truck. We are hiring a Volumetric Concrete Operations Lead / Foreman to own the field operation end to end: mobilize the equipment, supervise the crew, keep the volumetric plant producing, and put quality concrete in place. This is not a clock-watching job. It is a high-output, high-accountability role for a self-directed expert who wants real ownership of the work and a paycheck tied directly to the yards they place, and who can place a lot of them.

What you'll do:

  • Mobilize and demobilize the volumetric placement operation at each jobsite: setup, staging, breakdown, and site readiness.
  • Supervise the placement crew day to day: assignments, sequencing, safety, and quality.
  • Operate and maintain the equipment. Run the volumetric (mass-flow) plant and perform operator-level field maintenance to keep it producing without downtime.
  • Place and finish concrete to spec: slump, finish quality, and meeting the slab schedule.
  • Own the production record. Identify and log every pour, track yardage, and file the daily pour reports that drive your own pay.

What you'll earn:

We pay for output, not attendance, which is why this is one of the highest-earning field roles in the trade. Your pay has two parts:

  • A base of $300,000/year, paid for every active field day, so your income never depends on a single project. The base is yours regardless; it is not commission-only.
  • A per-cubic-yard production incentive on every yard you place. Because it is paid per yard, there is no ceiling: the more concrete you place, the more you earn.

Total earning potential of $300,000 to $650,000/year. $300,000 base plus the production incentive you drive. Top performers on sustained, high-volume data center pours reach the upper end. We will walk you through the exact numbers and a realistic earnings model for your situation during the interview. Relocation and housing assistance is available for the right candidate. Full-time employees are also eligible for company benefits (details provided during the hiring process).

Who we're looking for:

  • Hands-on volumetric or mobile mass-flow concrete experience (ProAll, ProAll Reimer, Terex, Cemen Tech, Holcombe, Holcombe CVI, Zimmerman, Bay-Lynx, or similar continuous-mix systems), or deep ready-mix placement experience and the mechanical aptitude to learn our equipment fast.
  • Proven crew leadership. You have run a placement crew and owned the outcome, not just shown up to it.
  • Equipment savvy. Comfortable performing operator-level maintenance and troubleshooting in the field, away from a shop.
  • Finishing knowledge. You know what good concrete looks like and how to get it. Mobile and self-directed. Willing to travel to and work at remote West Texas jobsites; reliable and accountable without someone standing over you.
  • A valid driver's license and the ability to meet our motor-vehicle-record insurability standards. CDL and relevant safety certifications (OSHA and MSHA awareness) are a strong plus.

Adjacent backgrounds we welcome: strong fits also come from ready-mix and batch-plant operators, concrete pump and boom-pump operators, slipform and paving foremen, shotcrete and gunite crew leads, and data center mat-slab placement superintendents with mechanical aptitude.

Why Direct Concrete:

  • We own our material. Our proprietary Matador aggregate pit means our crews are not held hostage to third-party supply, so you keep pouring.
  • We chase the big work. Large, remote, high-yardage projects in the Permian Basin and Panhandle, including hyperscale data center pours, which is exactly what makes the production incentive pay off for the right operator.
  • We pay for output, not attendance. Your daily pour reports drive your own pay. Place more, earn more, with your income never riding on one project.

Direct Concrete, LLC is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by federal or state law.
