This is a hands‑on, field‑based opportunity suited to someone who enjoys working independently, travelling between sites, and is comfortable with physical work and early starts.

Key Responsibilities

• Travel to construction sites to collect concrete cylinders, with anywhere from approximately 100-250 samples collected at a time.
• Safely load, transport, and deliver concrete samples to the nominated testing facility.
• Assist with demolding, processing, recording, and preparing samples for testing and curing.

• Work independently while maintaining a strong focus on safety, accuracy, and following procedures.

What We're Looking For

• Current White Card is essential.
• Current Driver's Licence is essential.
• Physically fit and comfortable with regular manual handling.
• Comfortable working independently and travelling between multiple sites.
• Reliable and flexible with the ability to start as early as 5:00am.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow processes and procedures.
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn - previous concrete testing experience is desirable but not essential.

What's on Offer
