About Razphalt®
Razphalt® is an innovative Alberta-made paving solution that transforms recycled asphalt shingles and recycled asphalt into a durable, cost-effective surfacing product. Installed using conventional paving equipment, Razphalt® is used on commercial yards, acreage driveways, parking lots, private roads, and municipal projects throughout Alberta.
As Razphalt® continues to expand we are looking for an experienced Lead Paving Operator / Foreman for the 2026 paving season starting right away through September 2026.

Responsibilities
- Operate a LeeBoy 7000C asphalt paver safely and efficiently.
- Lead and supervise a paving crew of approximately three people.
- Coordinate daily installation activities with management and truck drivers.

- An experienced paving operator with strong equipment skills.
- A leader who can direct and support a small crew.
- Safety-conscious and professional.
- Reliable and accountable.
- Focused on quality workmanship.
- Willing to learn and follow Razphalt® installation procedures.
