About the Role

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.

  • Maintain clean and organized work areas
  • Complete required training and certifications
  • Wear required PPE and follow all safety protocols
  • Communicate effectively with team members, management, truck drivers, and customers

What We're Looking For

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Strong work ethic and positive attitude
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Basic math and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to read and follow written instructions
  • Willingness to learn computer systems and new skills
  • Proficiency in Excel preferred, but not required
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds with assistance
  • Ability to climb tanks and structures, bend, and work in physically active environments
  • Valid driver's license
  • Ability to work scheduled hours, including Monday through Sunday as needed
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions

Ergon Inc

Headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, Ergon, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries are built on a foundation of petroleum-related enterprises begun in 1954 by its Chairman, Leslie B. Lampton. Starting as a petroleum retailer with only two employees, Ergon has evolved into a network of market-leading companies employing over 2,300 people. Ergon operates as a sophisticated crude oil processor, transporter and marketer of refined products. It also functions as a producer and marketer of specialty asphalt products, as well as an oil and gas explorer and real estate developer. In addition, Ergon manufactures state-of-the-art road maintenance products and equipment.

The Company’s roots are in the petroleum industry service areas, including trucking and propane distribution, marine transportation and petroleum marketing services. Through acquisitions and from merging other company operations into a base of entities that would become Ergon subsidiaries, including ventures in refining, terminaling, asphalt marketing, mid-river operations, exploration, maintenance support and real estate, we have moved forward to become a well-diversified portfolio of companies.
