Fleet Accountability: Ensure the safe operation and cleanliness of company-owned trucks and trailers, maintaining a "standardized" and professional appearance at all times.

3. Administration & Strategic Communication

Project Tracking: Utilize BOSS Mobile and other digital tools for real-time timesheet submission, job costing, and material tracking.
Client Relations: Maintain professional on-site communication with clients, developers, and general contractors to manage expectations and resolve issues in real-time.
Production Planning: Communicate daily with the Production Manager regarding project milestones, labor hours management, and resource forecasting.

Competitive Compensation: $800 - $1,000 weekly salary based on experience
Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Health Insurance with Vision and Dental options.
Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) annually plus 11 observed Paid Holidays.
Retirement: 401(k) retirement savings plan.
Career Growth: Significant opportunities for advancement into Branch Management or Regional Operations as we expand across NC, SC, and FL.
