Job description

Overview

Technopref Industries (Technopref) is hiring a hands-on Production Superintendent to help run our concrete/precast production operation. This is a boots-on-the-ground role — you’ll be in the plant and yard every day making sure production stays safe, organized, and moving. When production slows down, you’ll be expected to help with plant set-up, organization, and prep so we’re ready to ramp back up fast.

Responsibilities

• Run Daily Production
  • Lead day-to-day operations: set-up, production work, finishing/repairs, handling, storage
  • Keep the crew moving with a clear plan, strong pace, and good communication
  • Hit daily production goals without cutting corners on safety or quality
• Own the Yard + Handling + Load-Out
  • Keep the yard clean, organized, and safe
  • Help coordinate load-out and shipping prep so product is ready when trucks arrive
  • Reduce damage and rework through good handling, rigging habits, and storage layout
• Troubleshoot and Keep the Plant Running
  • Concrete/batching issues (material flow, consistency, delays, coordination with batch plant)
  • Equipment issues (forklifts, cranes, basic troubleshooting, coordination of repairs)
  • Molds / forms / tools (setup problems, adjustments, leaks, missing hardware)
  • Utilities that affect production: water, air, electrical, propane or natural gas
  • Work directly with maintenance/vendors and the Ops Manager to get issues fixed fast
  • Help prevent repeat problems by improving setup, stocking key spares, and tightening routines
• Lead the Crew
  • Set expectations, hold people accountable, and build a solid team culture
  • Train new workers and support foremen/leads
  • Keep things respectful and productive — no drama, no confusion

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in concrete production, batching, construction operations, and/or industrial production
• Precast experience is a plus, not required
• Education in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field is a plus, but not required
• A real problem-solver who can keep production moving when things go sideways
• Comfortable around equipment and crews (and not afraid to get hands dirty)
• Safety-minded and organized — the yard and plant can’t be chaos
• Willing to travel/relocate as projects require role will start in Connecticut but may change depending on project needs

Good Fit If You Are…

• The person who gets called when production is stuck
• Someone who can lead a crew and still jump in to fix things
• Comfortable working in a start-up style environment where you build routines and improve the process as you go
