Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is more than a concrete job. It’s an opportunity to grow into a skilled tradesman, a leader, and a better version of yourself.

At K-Construction, you’ll learn the right way to prep, pour, finish, and complete concrete work while developing the discipline, responsibility, and problem-solving skills that can build a long-term career.

You don’t need to come in knowing everything. You need to show up prepared, work hard, take direction, accept coaching, and be willing to keep improving.

There is a real path forward:

• Laborer → Skilled Laborer → Lead Man → Foreman

As your skills grow, so can your responsibilities, leadership opportunities, and career.

Our goal is to develop concrete tradesmen who know their craft, leaders who can take care of a crew, and people who take ownership of their work and their future.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Assist with site prep, grading, forming, reinforcement, concrete placement, finishing, and cleanup
• Follow direction from the Foreman and Lead Man
• Check Buildertrend for the day’s plan and prepare accordingly
• Load the truck with the tools, PPE, equipment, and materials needed for the job
• Stay productive and pick up the next task when your current work is complete
• Recognize potential problems and bring possible solutions to the crew
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe jobsite
• Learn proper concrete methods, tools, equipment, and finishing techniques
• Ask questions, accept coaching, and continually improve your skills
• Work toward a personal development plan and advancement to Skilled Laborer

WHO YOU ARE

Essential:

• Willingness to learn concrete the right way
• Strong work ethic
• Reliable attendance and punctuality
• Ability to listen, follow direction, and work as part of a team
• Strong safety awareness around excavation, equipment, concrete placement, and finishing
• Willingness to take responsibility for your work
• Curiosity — a “how can we do this better?” attitude
• Ability to recognize when something isn’t right and speak up
• Interest in developing both trade skills and leadership ability

Ideal:

• Previous construction or concrete experience
• Valid driver’s license
• Reliable transportation

Previous concrete experience is helpful, but it isn’t required. Character, work ethic, and the willingness to learn matter more.

WHY JOIN K-CONSTRUCTION

Grow as a tradesman:

Learn real concrete skills from experienced people and develop a trade you can build a career around.

Grow as a leader:

As you develop, you’ll have opportunities to take ownership, solve problems, help others, and eventually lead a crew.

Grow as a person:

Concrete work will challenge you. You’ll build responsibility, discipline, communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and the ability to follow through when the work gets difficult.

Build a real career:

This isn’t meant to be a dead-end labor position. There is a defined path from Laborer to Skilled Laborer, Lead Man, Foreman, and greater opportunities within K-Construction.

Be part of a team:

You’ll work alongside people who expect a lot from each other, help each other improve, and take pride in doing quality work that lasts.
