Job Overview:
Building New Haven County — One Crew at a Time
QUARRY CRUSHING FOREMAN
Run the Plant. Lead the Crew. Own the Shift.
Full-Time | New Haven County, CT
If you know your way around a crusher plant and can get the best out of a crew, this is your seat. Haynes Group is looking for an experienced Quarry Crushing Foreman to take ownership of daily plant operations — the person everyone looks to when equipment needs troubleshooting, production needs pushing, and the crew needs a leader who's been in the trenches. This isn't an entry-level supervisor role. It's a chance to run your own operation, with the backing of a company that's been building New Haven County for generations.
Why You'll Want This Job
- Real ownership of the plant floor — not micromanaged from an office
- Work for a vertically integrated developer with steady, long-term projects — not a here-today, gone-tomorrow contractor
- Lead and mentor a crew, with the authority to make the calls that keep production moving
- Path to grow with a company actively expanding across active development sites
What You'll Own
- Run daily crushing plant operations start to finish — startup, shutdown, and everything in between
- Lead, train, and mentor plant operators, laborers, and maintenance crew
- Keep the plant compliant — MSHA/OSHA regulations and company safety procedures, every shift
- Hit production goals and quality specs, and know the numbers behind them
- Inspect crushers, screens, conveyors, and equipment to keep the line running safe and strong
- Coordinate maintenance and repairs, and flag mechanical issues before they become downtime
- Keep clean, accurate production, maintenance, and safety records
- Be the communication link between the plant floor and management on schedules, staffing, and issues
- Enforce a clean, organized, hazard-free plant — housekeeping is part of the job, not an afterthought
- Troubleshoot equipment problems and find ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the plant
- Manage environmental compliance, including dust control and material handling
What You Bring
- High school diploma or GED; technical or trade training is a plus
- 3–5+ years in aggregate, mining, or rock crushing operations
- Supervisory or lead experience — you've run a shift or a crew before
- Sharp working knowledge of crushing plant equipment and material flow
- Comfort with MSHA/OSHA regulations and safety best practices
- Can read and act on production schedules, maintenance logs, and equipment manuals
- Leadership, communication, and problem-solving chops — people follow you because you're good, not just because you're the boss
A Plus If You Have
- Experience with plant automation or control systems
- Mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting skills
- Strong organizational and time-management instincts
The Work Itself
- Outdoor, industrial quarry/aggregate setting — this is a hands-on, on-your-feet job
- Standing, walking, climbing, bending, and lifting up to 50 lbs
- Extended hours, weekends, or shifts as production demands — with the bonus to match
- Noise, dust, heavy equipment, and moving machinery are part of the environment; full PPE required at all times
