Job description

Do you love running big machines and being part of a team that gets the job done? At SRM Concrete, we’re looking for hands-on, hard-working people to join us as Loader Operators. If you take pride in a good day’s work, enjoy driving heavy equipment, and want to help build the future of your community, this is the job for you.


  • Take the wheel of powerful front-end loaders and other heavy equipment to move sand, gravel, and cement around the plant—keeping our concrete flowing and our operations moving.
  • Load and unload trucks, hoppers, bins, and conveyors so our team always has the materials they need.
  • Work side-by-side with your crew and production team to keep things running on schedule.
  • Check your equipment before and after each shift, and let the team know if something needs fixing—your safety and theirs comes first.
  • Follow all safety rules, wear your gear, and help keep the plant a safe place for everyone.
  • Pitch in to keep your work area clean and organized—because a tidy site is a safer site.
  • Help count inventory and make sure we never run low on the materials that keep us going.
  • Share your ideas with plant leaders and help us get better every day.
  • Be ready to lend a hand wherever you’re needed—whether it’s helping a teammate or jumping in on a tough job.

  • Experience running loaders or other big machines is great, but if you’re willing to learn and work hard, we’ll train you.
  • Valid Driver’s License.
  • You care about safety—yours and your team’s—and you’re not afraid to speak up if something’s not right.
  • You know how to check your equipment and handle basic fixes.
  • You’re a team player who communicates well and shows up ready to work.
  • You’re physically able to handle a job that keeps you moving in all kinds of weather.
  • High school diploma or equivalent is helpful, but not required.
  • Willingness to complete our pre-employment screenings.
  • You live by our 5 Principles of Service: Safety, Quality, Kindness, Cleanliness, and Go-Getter.
