5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a asphalt plant operator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Asphalt plant operators extract raw materials such as sand and stones and operate mobile equipment for their transport to the plant.

They take samples to check the quality of the mix and arrange for its transport to the construction site.
