Construction materials suppliers and heavy highway contractors continue expanding seasonal and full-time hiring efforts as transportation infrastructure programs sustain demand for aggregates, paving and site construction services across the Northeast.
New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co. Inc. announced workforce hiring efforts for the 2026 construction season across Pennsylvania and Western New York as the company ramps up operations in aggregates, asphalt production, ready-mix concrete and highway construction.
The company, founded in 1924 and headquartered in New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, operates quarries, asphalt plants, ready-mix facilities and heavy highway construction crews serving public and private infrastructure projects throughout the region.
NESL is recruiting for a range of operational and field positions tied to its construction materials and infrastructure business lines.
Current openings include CDL drivers for aggregate, asphalt and concrete delivery operations, along with plant operators supporting quarry, asphalt and ready-mix production facilities. The company is also hiring paving crew members, heavy equipment operators, mechanics, maintenance technicians, laborers, supervisors and administrative support personnel.
Most roles do not require commercial driver licenses, although CDL-qualified operators remain in demand throughout the transportation construction sector.
The company indicated that staffing needs vary by project activity and location throughout the construction season.
NESL’s operations span several segments of the construction materials industry, including crushed stone, sand and gravel production, hot mix asphalt manufacturing, ready-mixed concrete supply and agricultural and industrial lime products.
The company also performs heavy highway construction work supporting road, bridge and paving projects throughout Pennsylvania and portions of Western New York.
Construction materials suppliers across the Northeast continue adjusting workforce strategies to address ongoing labor shortages affecting trucking, equipment operation and skilled craft positions tied to infrastructure development.
Public infrastructure funding and sustained transportation construction activity continue driving hiring needs among aggregate producers, paving contractors and heavy civil builders.
For contractors and construction owners, labor availability remains a key operational concern as projects compete for qualified drivers, equipment operators and skilled field personnel. Companies with vertically integrated operations that combine materials production and construction services often require staffing across both industrial plant environments and active roadway projects.
NESL’s hiring campaign reflects continued demand for workforce expansion tied to regional transportation and infrastructure construction programs.
