   Maintains professional situational awareness around visiting client inspectors or engineers near aggregate stockpiles.
   Completes and signs off on daily pre-shift equipment inspection checklists.
   Collects and signs material delivery tickets from incoming aggregate haulers and hands them directly to Admin Support.
   Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors. 
   Other duties as assigned.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR       
   Required Education: High School Diploma or equivalent
   Required Work Experience: 2 years general related to duties and responsibilities
   Strong mechanical aptitude, ability to use hand and power tools
   Knowledge of company processes and procedures
   Detail-oriented with the ability to handle multiple tasks at one time
   Able to prioritize work
   Valid driver's license

Additional Requirements:
   Required to travel as part of the core plant crew.
   Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators. Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.
WHAT WE OFFER
   Competitive salary
   Retirement Savings: Choose from 401(k) pre-tax and/or Roth after-tax savings
   Medical, Dental, Disability and Life Insurance
   Holistic Health & Well-being programs
   Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) & Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) for health and dependent care
   Vision and other Voluntary benefits and discounts
