Global manufacturer of asphalt, aggregate, and concrete production equipment
Astec manufactures specialized equipment for road construction, aggregate processing, and concrete production across two business segments. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial automation (Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLC) and Oracle enterprise software (Cloud ERP, Fusion, Integration Cloud), with emerging investments in Apache Spark and Airflow for data pipelines — a signal that manufacturing operations are beginning to instrument and analyze production data at scale. Hiring velocity is accelerating across manufacturing and engineering roles, aligned with active projects in electrical system design, control panel retrofits, and Oracle Cloud implementation.
