Screed and Paver Operations Technician

Are you the operator who keeps the mat perfect?

Do you take pride in smooth finishes, clean joints, and consistent head-of-material? If you can orchestrate trucks, fine‑tune a screed, and keep production moving safely, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

• Place and finish stone, concrete, and asphalt on roads, runways, and other surfaces using pavers and allied equipment
• Bring heating systems online: light burners, set screed temperatures, and dial in flow rates
• Control paver operations to push dump trucks and maintain constant feed to the hopper/screed
• Watch distribution closely; flag low areas, adjust controls, and guide the crew to add material
• Compact earth fills and final mats with tampers or by rolling to meet grade
• Handle essential handwork, including shoveling blacktop and detailing edges and tie‑ins
• Operate oil distributors, loaders, and dump trucks; load equipment onto trailers and transport to/from sites
• Fill tanks and hoppers; cut or break existing pavement using hammer‑equipped machines
• Clean/cut expansion joints and rout cracks to prepare for repairs
• Complete daily safety/maintenance checks; clean down machines and secure equipment at shift end
• Calculate and order materials for each job; lay out parking stalls for striping
• Communicate maintenance/repair needs to your supervisor and assist with routine maintenance
• Wear PPE at all times and uphold safe work practices
• Take on other duties as assigned

Bring this to the crew

• Equipment Troubleshooting
• Troubleshooting Skills
• Material Handler Experience
• Commitment to procedure, quality, and production pace

Imagine wrapping a runway job: equipment cleaned, secured, and staged; materials tallied for tomorrow; layout complete for parking stalls—done right because you owned every detail.
