Why Concrete Repair Company?

"I thought it was just another job — now I manage my own crew": what working for a concrete company really looks like

When Jorge arrived in the U.S. from Honduras, he was just looking for steady work. He applied to a concrete company thinking it would be temporary — but five years later, he’s still there, now leading his own crew. “I came for a paycheck, but stayed because I was learning every day,” he says.

Concrete work in the U.S. is in high demand — with over 75,000 open positions in 2025. Roles include laborers, finishers, machine operators, and form setters. Starting pay averages $21–$26/hour, while experienced finishers can make $30–$38/hour, with overtime often available.

Shifts typically run 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Friday, with optional weekends. Most concrete companies offer weekly pay, uniforms, paid breaks, and safety gear. Some add bonuses for attendance and performance.

Jorge says what kept him going wasn’t just the pay, but the structure and support. “They showed me how to do things, step by step. It felt like a team, not just a job.” Now, he trains new workers who are just starting out — exactly like he did.

If you’re looking for hands-on, stable work with room to grow, concrete contractors are hiring now — and your future might start with one shift.
