Performance Improvement Manager - Ready Mix

Lead Ready-Mix technical and materials performance improvement initiatives across NAM (North America).

Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities related to mix performance, quality consistency, materials usage, batching discipline, production process control, and cost-to-produce.

Translate field observations, QC results, batch data, mix-design information, and operational performance indicators into clear, actionable improvement plans.

Analyze large datasets from QC systems, batch systems, tickets, mix designs, and test results to identify trends, exceptions, root causes, and improvement opportunities.

Lead root-cause analysis on technical and operational performance issues, including strength variability, overdesign, slump / air consistency, water demand, aggregate moisture, batching accuracy, sequencing, mixing practices, testing practices, and corrective actions.

Support the development and execution of the NAM Ready-Mix materials strategy, including mix optimization, technical standards, quality discipline, and performance routines.

Partner with regional quality, operations, commercial, and plant teams to convert technical findings into practical actions and measurable results.

Strengthen the Performance Management Program by building better KPIs, control limits, action triggers, follow-up discipline, and accountability around technical and materials performance.

Act as a trusted technical advisor to regional and NAM leadership, constructively challenging assumptions and helping raise performance expectations.

Support adoption of tools and technologies that improve quality visibility, mix performance, batching discipline, and technical decision-making.

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Concrete Technology, Construction Materials, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent Ready-Mix technical experience considered.

5+ years of experience in Ready-Mix, concrete materials, technical services, quality, mix design, batching, or related construction-materials environments.
