Concrete Operations Superintendent

Concrete Operations Superintendent

Lincoln, Nebraska | $95K-$100K Base + Bonus + Vehicle

Help Build a Business - Not Just Run Someone Else's Jobsite

If you're an experienced Concrete Superintendent - or an exceptional Concrete Foreman ready for the next step - this could be the opportunity you've been working toward. Our client is a well-established concrete contractor in the Lincoln, Nebraska area with nearly 30 years in business, very low turnover, and a strong reputation for quality work and long-term relationships. The work is primarily residential concrete, along with agricultural and select commercial projects. The owner is looking for a strong concrete leader who can gradually take significant ownership of field operations, develop crews, improve scheduling and communication, and help build the next chapter of the company.

This is a smaller-company leadership opportunity with direct access to the owner, real influence, and far less bureaucracy than a large GC environment. The right person will receive extensive leadership development during the first year while bringing the concrete knowledge needed to contribute from day one.

Compensation & Opportunity

• Base salary: $95,000-$100,000
• Performance bonus: $10,000-$20,000
• Long-term earning potential: $120,000-$140,000+
• Company vehicle and fuel
• Company phone
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Paid lodging plus $75/day per diem for overnight travel
• Extensive leadership coaching and professional development throughout onboarding and the first year

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead multiple active concrete projects and field crews
• Create and communicate weekly work schedules
• Coordinate manpower, equipment, materials, concrete pours, and subcontractors
• Monitor labor productivity, job costs, quality, and safety
• Make sound field decisions when weather, labor, inspections, materials, or pour schedules change
• Serve as a key field contact for customers and contractors
• Develop Foremen and future crew leaders
• Improve scheduling, reporting, communication, and field systems so the business can continue to grow
• Reduce the owner's day-to-day involvement by taking real ownership of field execution

Who We're Looking For

• Meaningful hands-on concrete experience; 5-7+ years is ideal, but depth and capability matter more than an arbitrary number
• Proven experience leading concrete crews, jobsites, or field operations
• Practical knowledge of concrete from site preparation and forming through reinforcing, pouring, finishing, quality control, and completion
• Ability to coordinate labor, equipment, materials, schedules, and multiple active jobs
• Strong judgment and the ability to solve field problems without constant handholding
• Respectful, steady leadership style that earns trust and develops people
• Strong customer and contractor communication
• Desire to grow into greater operational responsibility over time

Spanish Is a Plus - Not a Requirement

Spanish-speaking ability is a strong plus given the makeup of the field crews, but it is not required. The company is open to the strongest concrete leader overall and can support bilingual communication within the crews.

Outstanding Concrete Foremen Are Encouraged to Apply

You do not need to already hold the Superintendent title. If you are a strong Concrete Foreman or field leader who knows concrete, has earned the respect of crews, and is ready for greater responsibility, we want to hear from you.

Travel

Projects are generally within approximately a 300-350-mile radius of Lincoln. Overnight travel is required when projects are outside the local area. Lodging is paid, a $75 daily per diem is provided, and most weekends are spent at home.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

The goal is not simply to keep jobs moving. It is to become a trusted field operations leader who can improve the business, develop people, and take increasing responsibility over time. If you want a long-term opportunity where your concrete knowledge and leadership can make a visible impact, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
