Pavement Maintenance Crew Lead

Crew Lead

We're hiring a Crew Lead to take ownership of job site execution. You'll lead a small crew on commercial pavement maintenance projects across the Richmond metro — directing the work, holding the quality standard, and making sure every job is delivered exactly right. You'll work alongside your crew and be the one accountable for how the job goes: site setup, crew performance, application quality, safety, and how we leave the property when we're done. You'll communicate directly ownership and your judgment on the job site will be trusted. This is the right role if you take pride in doing things right, can lead people without being told to, and want to grow into more responsibility as the company grows.

• Lead a crew of 1–3 technicians on commercial job sites — assign tasks, set the pace, and hold the standard
• Execute and oversee pavement maintenance services including sealcoating, line striping, crack filling, asphalt patching, power washing, and sport court work
• Conduct site walkthroughs before and after every job — identify hazards, verify layout, confirm quality before leaving
• Set up and break down job sites efficiently, including traffic control, equipment staging, and material prep
• Operate and maintain specialized equipment including sealcoat spray systems, line striping machines, blowers, and compactors
• Train and develop technicians on proper application technique, equipment operation, and safety procedures
• Communicate job status, site issues, and completion clearly to the Operations Lead
• Maintain a safe, organized, and professional job site at all times
• Assist with equipment inspection and basic maintenance to keep everything job-ready

• 2–4+ years of experience in a trade, construction, landscaping, pavement, or similar hands-on field role
• Prior experience leading or directing others on a job site — you've been the one people look to when a decision needs to be made
• Strong mechanical aptitude — comfortable with small engines, spray equipment, and basic troubleshooting
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record; ability to operate a truck and trailer required
• Physical capability to perform demanding outdoor work including lifting up to 75 lbs, walking, bending, and working in variable weather conditions
• High attention to detail — you notice when something's off and you fix it before it becomes a problem
• Self-directed and reliable — you don't need someone standing over you to do things right
• Clear communicator who can give direction to a crew and report up to leadership without hand-holding

• Direct experience with pavement maintenance services (sealcoating, striping, crack fill)
• Familiarity with Graco line stripers, sealcoat spray systems, or similar commercial equipment
• Experience managing a small crew on time-sensitive commercial projects

• Competitive wages commensurate with experience
• Performance bonus opportunities
• Flexible scheduling with opportunities for additional hours
• Training and advancement — we promote from within and want you to grow here
• Benefits available after probationary period
• A tight-knit team that works hard and doesn't take itself too seriously

Compensation: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour
