Have you ever considered a career with an asphalt paving company?  If you have, great, we would welcome your application or resume.  If not, let me tell you some benefits to what we do.  You get to work outside and enjoy the benefits of the sunshine each day.  You get to work with well-maintained heavy equipment.  You would be working for a company that puts safety first.  This is also a company that promotes from within, so if you hire on with us as a flagger or a laborer, when an opening occurs, if you have expressed an interest, you would be considered for the open position.  Since asphalt requires a certain atmospheric temperature, our employees enjoy the benefit of being laid off during the winter months.  Usually the layoff occurs the week before or the week of Thanksgiving and lasts through the first Friday in April.  During this layoff, you will draw unemployment.  You will not be required to make job contacts while you draw the unemployment because it is a temporary layoff.  In addition to these benefits, on certain projects you will be paid a wage commonly referred to as Davis-Bacon wages.  As a general rule these wages will be higher than your base wage.  The low end of our current pay scale is $15.34 per hour.  There is travel involved with this position.  Projects that are further than 40 miles from Ottumwa, IA may have an additional benefit of daily per diem.  You will receive a weekly paycheck to make managing your finances easier.

To give you an idea of what kind of company we are, I will tell you that half of our employees have been with us for more than 10 years and 15% of those fall into the 20+ years category.

Norris Asphalt Paving Company also offers terrific benefits.  Our health insurance has competitive premiums while keeping the deductible and out of pocket maximums low.  We also offer dental insurance, vision insurance, short term disability, long term disability, accident insurance, critical illness insurance, flexible benefit and dependent care plans, voluntary life insurance, Teladoc and a 401(k) plan.  Our 401(k) plan is a great way to prepare for retirement, we offer a match of 5% of your income if you elect to contribute 4% or more out of each paycheck.
