Job Summary

The Groundskeeper supports daily operations at the ready-mix plant by keeping the yard, equipment, and mixer trucks clean and functional, assisting with loading/unloading and concrete pouring support, and serving as a backup driver when needed. This is a hands-on, all-purpose support role, not a landscaping-focused position.

• Wash and clean concrete mixer trucks (drum, chute, and exterior) after use, using a pressure washer/hose. 
• Clean and maintain the truck washdown area and washout pits according to company procedures.
• Keep the plant yard, loading area, and stockpile areas clean, organized, and free of spilled concrete and debris.
• Load and unload aggregate and other materials using a skid steer, loader, or similar equipment.
• Assist with concrete pouring operations and general job site support as needed.
• Perform minor plant equipment maintenance and basic repairs; report larger issues to the Plant Manager.
• Serve as a backup CDL driver, delivering ready-mix concrete when a regular driver is sick, on a day off, or otherwise unavailable.
• Perform snow and ice removal from plant walkways, yard, and load-out areas during winter months.
• Report equipment issues, material shortages, or safety hazards to plant management promptly.
• Other duties as assigned. This job description reflects the general nature of the position but is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, or skills required.

Qualifications

• Prior experience in a ready-mix, concrete, or industrial plant environment preferred.
• CDL (Commercial Driver's License) preferred — will serve as a backup driver delivering concrete when needed.
• Comfortable operating a skid steer, loader, or similar equipment, or willing to learn.
• Reliable, safety-conscious, and able to work with minimal supervision.
• Willing to assist with a variety of tasks based on daily plant needs.

Physical Work Requirements

• Climb on/around equipment and mixer trucks as needed.
• Work outdoors year-round in varying weather conditions, including heat, cold, and precipitation.
• Use required PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, gloves).
• Lift/carry up to 50 lbs. regularly.

Schedule, Travel & Work Conditions

• Full-time schedule, Monday–Friday, with weekends as needed.
• Occasional backup-driving duties on short notice when a regular driver is unavailable.
• Primarily on-site at the plant; minimal offsite travel outside of backup delivery runs.

What We Offer

• On-the-job training on equipment operation.
• Supportive, team-oriented work environment.
