The Residential Concrete Operations Manager leads all day-to-day concrete operations for Leola Construction's residential projects in the Houston market. This role is responsible for scheduling and supervising concrete crews and foremen, coordinating pours across multiple active job sites, managing subcontractor and supplier relationships, and ensuring every foundation, slab, and flatwork pour meets Leola's quality, safety, and schedule standards. The ideal candidate has hands-on residential concrete experience, has managed crews and job sites before, and is comfortable working in Houston's heat, soil conditions, and permitting environment.

• Plan, schedule, and supervise residential concrete operations — foundations, slabs, driveways, flatwork, and related sitework — across multiple active Houston-area job sites.
• Directly manage concrete foremen and field crews, including daily assignments, labor allocation, and performance oversight.
• Coordinate ready-mix suppliers, subcontractors, and equipment/material logistics to keep pours on schedule and within budget.
• Partner with project managers and estimators to align pour schedules with the overall construction timeline and scope of work.
• Enforce jobsite safety standards and OSHA compliance across all concrete operations; lead toolbox talks and safety audits.
• Monitor concrete quality control, including mix specifications, curing conditions, and finish standards; address issues before they become callbacks.
• Track job costing, labor productivity, and material usage against budget for each project; report variances to leadership.
• Manage relationships with city/county inspectors and ensure all pours meet local Houston-area code, permitting, and inspection requirements.
• Account for Houston-specific site conditions — expansive clay soils, drainage, and seasonal weather — in pour planning and scheduling.
• Recruit, train, and mentor crew leads and foremen to build a strong, reliable residential concrete team.
• Troubleshoot field problems (weather delays, mix or forming issues, schedule conflicts) and resolve them quickly and proactively.
• Maintain accurate daily logs, inspection records, and production reports.

• 5+ years of experience in residential concrete construction, including foundations, flatwork, and forming/finishing.
• Prior experience supervising crews, foremen, or job sites in a lead or management capacity.
• Working knowledge of Houston-area building codes, permitting processes, and local soil/drainage conditions.
• Strong understanding of concrete mix design, curing, and quality control standards.
• Proven ability to manage multiple job sites and crews simultaneously under tight schedules.
• OSHA 30 certification preferred; strong working knowledge of jobsite safety practices required.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable with scheduling and project-management tools (e.g., Procore, Buildertrend, or similar) preferred.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for travel between job sites.

• Regularly works outdoors on active residential construction sites in all seasons, including Houston's heat and humidity.
• Able to walk uneven and unfinished terrain, climb ladders, and be on feet for extended periods.
