• Monitor mix temperature, head of material, and mat quality throughout the pull
• Perform daily equipment checks and basic upkeep
• Work overtime and travel within Central Virginia when needed

What you need

• Prior experience operating an asphalt paver as a primary operator (required)
• Ability to maintain proper grade and smoothness
• Understanding of paving crew flow and communication
• Reliable, on time, and ready to work
• Valid driver’s license required; CDL is a plus

• Steady work year-round
• Overtime opportunities
• Good equipment
