The Conco Companies are a leading supplier of concrete services throughout the Western U.S. We got our start in the Bay Area in 1959 by offering clients the best value on a wide range of concrete services and products and are now one of the foremost concrete contractors in the region. Our concrete services include commercial, educational, industrial and public works projects as well as parking structures. Many people have no idea what a concrete pump is and how it is used. Just as many people are unaware that concrete pump operators are one of the highest paid careers in the construction industry and that the industry is actively recruiting people who may be interested in a career as a concrete pump operator.
Back in October of 2016, the ACPA (American Concrete Pumping Association) implemented the new “Workforce Development Program” that is designed to help members recruit new labor to fill open positions. Representatives of the program as well as members are attending trade shows and job fairs to promote concrete pumping careers. The group is also using using social media as a way to garner more attention. Furthermore, the ACPA has improved their online ACPA Career Center (at ConcretePumpers.com.) to allow members to post job openings and job-seekers to post resumes. Based on the increase in the number of resumes that have been posted over the last year, the Workforce Development Program is working. In addition ties have been established with several technical schools and programs in order to introduce students to the benefits of a concrete pumping career. One of the relationships forged is with the Heavy Construction Academy in Brentwood, New Hampshire, which runs a 6-week training program. The academy has students from around the country including many vets who are taking advantage of the G.I. bill to fund their training. The Workforce Develment Program’s newly appointed coordinator is Chay Ibarra who will carry on the work started by one of the program’s developers and its first coordinator, Sidney Andrews. She is working closely with Andrews and the Board to define the program’s goals.

Some think this may be due to young people entering the job market feeling that construction work is not a glamorous or lucrative profession. The problem has come to a head as older, experienced tradespeople retire and not enough people are stepping into the jobs causing a shortage in experienced cement masons, carpenters and ironworkers.
Another area experiencing shortages is in qualified construction truck drivers that haul materials such as steel, aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete. In fact we have heard stories from concrete producers about how they have had trucks parked without qualified drivers to drive them. They have also found themselves in the position of running out of raw materials due to the shortage of material haulers. Many in the industry fear that the problem may stem from companies such as Amazon and Walmart that can offer steadier work than the construction industry. A recent article from the Business Insider says that the shortage of skilled construction workers may slow the hurricane recovery efforts from Harvey. It reports on a survey from the Associated General Contractors of America that even before the hurricane, Texas, which is in the middle of a building boom, was having trouble filling positons as reported by 69% of the contractors. Another quarterly report from the USG Corporation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that surveys contractors to gauge sentiment and measure the health of the industry supports that finding. It discovered that “60% of contractors reported difficulty finding skilled workers in the third quarter of 2017 due to an ongoing skilled labor shortage.” Additionally 91% surveyed said they were somewhat concerned about the skill level of their work force.
