Job description

Dubbo, NSW | Permanent Full-Time | Overtime Available

We’re looking for experienced Soil & Concrete Testing Technicians, as well as people looking to start a hands-on career in construction materials testing, to join our Dubbo team.

If you already have CMT experience, we’re keen to hear what you can bring. If you’re new to the industry, no problem — we’ll provide the training and support to get you started.

This is a practical, hands-on role working with soil, concrete and other construction materials. You’ll start by building your knowledge in the laboratory, with opportunities to develop into field-based testing and work across local construction and infrastructure projects.

• Maintaining testing equipment and work areas
• Working to Australian Standards and company testing procedures
• Undertaking field testing on construction sites as your experience develops
• Communicating with clients, supervisors and other members of the team

Laboratory work can be repetitive and process-driven, while field work is more physical and gets you outdoors across different construction sites. Both are an important part of delivering accurate results for our clients.

What we’re looking for For Experienced Technicians, practical experience in soil and concrete testing will be highly regarded.

For Trainee Positions, previous construction materials testing experience isn’t essential. We’re more interested in finding reliable people with the right attitude who are willing to learn.

• White Card - preferred
• Ability and willingness to undertake physical, hands-on work
• Flexibility to work overtime when required
• Valid Australian working rights with no restriction on full-time hours

• Many of our people have built long-term careers with us, progressing from Technician roles into senior technical, supervisory and management positions.
• Permanent full-time employment with overtime opportunities
• Competitive hourly rates based on experience
• Full training for people entering the industry, plus ongoing technical development
• Clear career pathways into senior technical, supervisory and management roles
• Exposure to both laboratory and field-based work
