About the role

• 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.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 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.
