This is an opportunity for someone who genuinely knows asphalt production and is ready to take ownership of the plant – not simply operate it.

* Ensuring all plant operations comply with safety, environmental and quality requirements
* Supervising and coordinating plant personnel
* Working with management and paving crews to ensure production requirements are met
THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for an **experienced asphalt professional** who understands what it takes to manufacture quality asphalt and keep a busy plant operating efficiently.
You will ideally have:
* Proven experience operating or managing an **asphalt batch plant**

* Experience with other major asphalt batch plant systems will also be considered
* A strong understanding of asphalt mix production and quality requirements

* Excellent organisational and planning skills
* A practical, hands-on approach
* The ability to work independently and make sound decisions
* Strong communication skills
* A strong commitment to safety and quality
* The ability to work additional hours, including early starts and occasional night work, when production demands require it
# # # THIS IS MORE THAN A PLANT OPERATOR ROLE
We are looking for someone who can **take ownership of the plant**.
Someone who can look at production requirements, understand what needs to happen, organise the resources, identify problems before they become major issues and make sure the asphalt leaving our plant is exactly what it needs to be.
If you are currently a **Senior Batcher, Asphalt Plant Supervisor, Plant Manager or highly experienced Asphalt Plant Operator** and you're looking for an opportunity where your experience and knowledge will genuinely be valued, we'd like to talk to you.
WHAT WE OFFER
* Permanent full-time position
* Competitive salary package **negotiable based on experience**
* A senior role within an established and growing regional asphalt business
* Opportunity to have genuine responsibility and ownership of the plant operation
* A practical, hands-on management environment
