At Horst Systems, we’re not just building grain bins — we’re building people. People who thrive on challenge, who take pride in pushing their limits, and who know that what they do keeps food flowing, crops protected, and communities strong.

This is an opportunity for an experienced construction or field operations professional who enjoys bringing people, materials and resources together to get the job done safely, efficiently and on schedule.

Reporting to the Director of Operations, you'll play a key role in coordinating field crews, managing project schedules, overseeing warehouse and material readiness, and ensuring our teams have the information and resources they need to deliver. You'll work closely with Crew Leaders, warehouse personnel, Sales and Operations leadership to keep projects moving and resolve challenges as they arise.

If you’re looking for a career where your effort matters, your resilience is respected, and your growth and compensation are driven by what you put in, you may belong at Horst Systems.
