    • Skid steer operation

  • Maintain productivity, accountability, and job-site quality

  • Travel nationwide to project locations (approximately 75% travel)

  • Meet at the Cypress-area home base and travel with the crew in a company vehicle

  • Drive company vehicles after hire and conversion (driving not required immediately upon hire)

Must-Have Qualifications

  • Clean MVR (non-negotiable)

  • 7-year background check with no felonies

  • Proven construction experience

  • Skid steer operation experience

  • Willingness and ability to travel nationwide

  • Strong work ethic with a hands-on leadership mindset

Highly Preferred / Plus Experience

  • Lodging: Fully covered by the client

  • Travel: Nationwide projects across 26 states

  • Opportunity for long-term growth if the initial hire is successful

Additional Notes

  • This role is focused on quality, accountability, and field leadership

  • Crew members are not currently needed

    • If a Crew Leader brings recommended crew members, pay typically ranges from $15–$20/hr DOE

  • This is a strong opportunity for a leader who prefers to work in the field, not manage from a vehicle
