Certifications

This lab technician job requires certifications, and they must be renewed every five years.
The company pays for all certifications.
We test asphalt at four locations for Piedmont Asphalt. We work for two different States; VDOT-Virginia and NCDOT- North Carolina.
There is a VDOT Level I and VDOT Level II test and a proficiency for both. These must be passed within six months of being hired or when the class is offered.
There is a NCDOT Intro to Asphalt, NCDOT Level I and NCDOT Level II test and proficiency is required once a year. You must pass Intro to Asphalt 1st, take 10 days of training, and then the NCDOT Level I test within six months of being hired or when the class is offered.
NCDOT Level II can take some time and isn’t required immediately, usually technicians can pass this after working here for a while.
VDOT gives two chances on each test and if you fail both times then you will be terminated. VDOT requires a 70 to pass and both are open book, but the proficiency is closed book.
NCDOT gives two chances on each test but you have to make at least a 70 to qualify for a retake. NCDOT requires an 80 to pass. If you fail both times then you will be terminated. NCDOT is open book, but the proficiency is closed book.
You have to pass Level I in both states before you can take Level II and Intro to Asphalt must be passed before you can take Level I for NCDOT.
This job requires specific certifications and you are "no good" without them, which means they are mandatory, non-negotiable requirements for safety, legal, or industry compliance.
