Customer Operations Manager

Customer Operations Manager — South Pit Hot Mix Plant

Run the highest-revenue plant in one of West Texas’ most established materials operations.

CSA Materials is hiring its first dedicated Customer Operations Manager for South Pit, the company’s highest-volume hot mix asphalt plant in Midland, Texas.

This role exists to fully own the daily customer scheduling, load sequencing, and production coordination currently distributed across multiple team members. Today, those responsibilities are being handled in real time by leadership while also managing broader operational priorities. This position centralizes that function into a single point of ownership.

This is a high-pressure coordination role — not a maintenance, technical, or plant mechanic position. The primary responsibility is keeping customers, trucking, and plant production aligned throughout a constantly changing operational day.

South Pit supports TxDOT, municipalities, commercial paving contractors, and large infrastructure customers across the Permian Basin, producing approximately $3M–$5M in monthly output.

If you can manage complex schedules, communicate clearly under pressure, and keep multiple moving parts aligned in real time, CSA will train you on the asphalt and materials side of the business.

Why This Role Stands Out

Own the Daily Customer Flow of CSA’s Largest Plant

South Pit is CSA’s highest-revenue operation. This role directly owns the scheduling and coordination engine that keeps it moving every day.

Build Structure in a High-Volume Environment

This is a newly created position. You will help define and refine how customer scheduling, load sequencing, and production coordination are managed going forward.

Learn the Industry

Asphalt experience is helpful but not required. CSA is open to strong operators from logistics, transportation, dispatch, manufacturing, construction materials, or other fast-paced industrial environments.

Long-Term Stability

CSA Materials has operated across Texas since 1987 as part of the Reece Albert family of companies — a long-standing, privately held heavy civil and materials organization with deep regional roots.
