The General Manager will lead the management team across five locations and have direct accountability for the division's performance, profitability, and continued growth.
We're looking for someone who understands that running a successful ready-mix operation means balancing the numbers with what is happening in the plants, in the trucks, with customers, and with the people responsible for making it all happen.

Establish clear expectations and accountability across all locations and departments
Drive a strong culture of safety, operational excellence, quality, and customer service
Maintain full accountability for division P&L, cost control, budgeting, and profitability
Monitor and improve productivity, fleet utilization, maintenance performance, labor costs, and other key performance indicators
Guide sales strategy, pricing, market development, and customer relationships
Partner with the sales team to strengthen existing accounts and identify new business opportunities

Work closely with company leadership to execute business priorities and support the continued growth of Crete Solutions
Qualifications & Experience
Ready-Mix Concrete experience is strongly preferred.
The ideal candidate will bring:
Proven leadership experience in ready-mix concrete, construction materials, aggregates, or a closely related industry
Strong understanding of ready-mix operations, including production, delivery, fleet utilization, quality, and customer expectations
Experience leading multi-location operations and cross-functional management teams
Demonstrated P&L responsibility and strong financial and business acumen
Ability to understand and use operational and financial data to drive decisions
Experience developing leaders and creating accountability throughout an organization
Strong communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
A hands-on leadership style with the ability to move comfortably between strategic planning and day-to-day operations

A strong commitment to safety, integrity, customer service, and operational excellence
Who We're Looking For
This role is best suited for a leader with an ownership mentality, someone who sees the entire division as their business and takes responsibility for its people, performance, and results.
You should be comfortable spending time in the field, asking questions, challenging the status quo, developing your team, and making decisions. We want a leader who can build on what is working, address what isn't, and help position the division for long-term growth.
If you have built your career in ready-mix and are ready for the opportunity to lead a multi-location operation with meaningful responsibility and impact, we'd love to hear from you!
