We’re a fast-growing structural concrete company focused on high-end residential projects in the Los Angeles area. We are innovators who believe in sustainable solutions and meaningful partnerships.

The Opportunity

If you thrive in a fast-paced construction environment, love solving problems on the fly, and take pride in coordinating seamless operations between office and field teams, this role is for you.

What Makes You Great for This Role

You’re someone who: - Thinks ahead – you anticipate problems before they happen - Stays cool under pressure – construction is unpredictable, and you thrive on that - Pays attention to details – you know that getting the wrong materials to a jobsite can shut down a project - Takes ownership – when you say it’ll be there, it’ll be there - Builds relationships – you understand that field teams and office teams speak different languages, and you’re fluent in both - Adapts quickly – plans change, weather happens, emergencies arise, and you roll with it.

• Ongoing tracking and coordination with each jobsite to stay on top of their changing needs and making necessary adjustments as it relates to materials and equipment.
• Ongoing proactive communication and coordination with other departments both in the office and in the field.
• Scheduling drivers effectively and efficiently.
• Developing vendor relationships to control costs without compromising quality. Also, ensuring that orders will be delivered on time.
• Solving problems before they escalate.
• Optimizing systems, processes, procedures, and related documentation.
