Roll up your sleeves for this is a hands-on, on-your-feet role, not a desk job. We're looking for a Laboratory Technician to join our Construction Materials Testing Lab, where you'll spend your days with dust on your gloves, mud on your boots, and the gritty texture of soil, concrete, and asphalt samples in your hands. No two days look the same: one day you're mixing and molding concrete cylinders, the next you're breaking soil samples or running masonry tests, always in accordance with applicable testing standards and methods.

What you’ll do

• Mix, mold, cure, and break samples of concrete, soil, asphalt, masonry, and other construction materials, running standardized laboratory tests per ASTM and other applicable methods.
• Record and report test results accurately, meeting ASTM and other standardized reporting requirements.
• Keep lab equipment clean, calibrated, and in top working order through routine maintenance and verification checks.
• Pitch in on other duties as assigned by your supervisor or manager.

• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds and stay on your feet in a hands-on lab environment working with soil, concrete, and other construction materials.
• High school diploma or higher degree.
• 2 years of lab experience or relevant certifications/degree.
• Technical/engineering background or knowledge, with the ability to obtain ACI Lab Concrete Testing Certification within 6 months of hire.
• Strong math skills.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.

• Preferred Qualifications:

• ACI Lab Concrete Testing Certification
• OSHA 10
