About The Position

As a Facility Operator, you'll work alongside a dedicated team to produce neat and polymer modified asphalt products used by paving and repair customers. This is a hands-on, outdoor position where no two days are exactly alike. If you enjoy active work environments, operating equipment, learning new skills, and working with a team that supports one another, this could be a great fit for you.
