Why Make the Move from Structural Shotcrete to Pools?

If you've worked in travel infrastructure work, tunnels, tanks, basements, or other confined spaces, pool construction offers a refreshing change of pace:

Limited Overnight Travel: Overnight travel is a rarity with us and typically is only needed a handful of days each year. We are typically either doing local work or daily commuting to regional jobsites.
Work in Open-Air Environments: Say goodbye to dark, dusty, claustrophobic jobsites. Most of our work is outside in open residential settings-not industrial enclosures.
More Artistic & Varied Work: Pools aren't just about thickness-they're about shape . You'll use your nozzle and trimming skills creatively, sculpting contours, benches, steps, and custom features.
Lighter Schedule, Strong Culture: No overnight tunnel pours or multi-week industrial shutdowns. Our team is home most evenings and weekends, with a work culture rooted in professionalism and respect.
Client-Facing, Visible Results: You'll help build something beautiful-where the homeowner actually sees and appreciates your work. It's a tangible impact you don't get in buried infrastructure projects.
Upskill for Certification and Growth: We support ACI certification and cross-train for equipment, forming, and leadership roles-setting you up for advancement.
