Requirements

What We Look For:

• Heavy haul / low-boy trailer experience
• Manual transmission experience
• Proven experience with load securement (chains, binders, blocking/bracing) in compliance with DOT standards
• Strong focus on safety, precision, and equipment care
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, field-based environment
• Previous experience contributing to a concrete paving crew at airfields or airports (preferred).
• Additional Requirements:
  • Valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL A)
  • Ability to gain clearance for restricted/high-security zones (e.g., airport AOA, military bases).
  • Physical ability to lift 50 lbs, climb, walk, kneel, squat, push, pull, and enter confined spaces.
  • If applicable, indicate union affiliation in your application.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and benefits package.

• A commitment to excellence and professionalism through building and supporting high-performing teams.
• An open, inclusive, and innovative family-owned business environment focused on training and safety for all employees.
