the main aspects of the job, and the bare minimum that you be able to do competently is: create asphalt in finished form. this requires that you add rubber and other products to a mix tank of asphalt and any other production procedures that go with it. load customer trucks. this requires you to select the desired product and, through the use of an electronic blending system, load the product onto the tanker truck then complete all necessary paperwork. complete tank transfers. this requires you be able to transfer different product from one tank to another without incident (ie. spilling **** on the ground or causing an accident).

those are the main requirements, then depending on how long you want to work here and how much you want to get in raises every year you have to be able to take it upon yourself to fix things that break (pumps, mixers, etc. there are a lot of mechanical and electrical pieces of equipment on site so that is why you need to have a mechanical background), keep the plant clean and safe, implement ideas to make our jobs easier, complete projects etc. you are basically on your own with this job and there are many different challenges you get to face each day (****s always breaking!) you will always be using your brain and you will be doing new and different things most of the time besides the stuff i listed above. no one will be watching over your shoulder and telling you what to do so you have to be self motivated. this is one of the reason why a lot of people quit or get fired from this place because they come from a job where all they had to do was push a button, or clean something, or drive a forklift (which we do along with tractors and bobcats), or fix one piece of equipment etc. when they get here they cant handle not having structure and being told what to do so they usually dont do much of anything and get canned after awhile. if you like doing your own thing to stay busy and dont like being micromanaged then this is a good job for you.
this job is easier than i think im making it out to be, seriously easy money as long as you give it your all while your on the clock and help out your coworkers. lots of benefits you wont see at other jobs like being able to go to the dmv during the day on the clock. not having to take off for a doctors appointment, you just go and then come into work. ability to work extended hours to get some ot money if you want. pick your shift most of the time. no worries if you are late every now and then. our two bosses are awesome and we hang out with one of em all the time. you can borrow the company truck on the weekend if you need to etc. stuff like that.
