• Quality Monitoring – Identify and report any non-conformance issues or deviations to management promptly.
• Safety Leadership – Participate actively in Inline’s corporate and client HSE programs, promoting safe work practices and leading by example in the field and lab.
• Equipment Maintenance – Maintain, clean, and calibrate materials testing equipment and ensure vehicles are kept in good working order.
• Collaboration & Communication – Work closely with supervisors, clients, and team members to support project delivery and maintain strong professional relationships.
• Documentation & Reporting – Accurately record field data, testing results, and observations in compliance with quality control standards and Inline’s ISO 9001 Quality Program.
• Continuous Learning – Take initiative to develop your technical skills and understanding of materials testing processes through on-the-job training and mentorship.

What We’re Looking For

• Education – Currently enrolled in or recently completed a Civil Engineering Technology or related program.
• Safety Certifications – CSTS 2020, CSO, and WHMIS 2015 certifications (Inline will assist in obtaining if required).
• Technical Skills – Basic understanding of construction materials testing procedures, equipment handling, and data recording.
• Communication & Teamwork – Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to follow instructions and collaborate effectively with team members.
• Attention to Detail – Organized and accurate in documenting test results and maintaining quality records.
• Physical Readiness – Able to lift up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in a variety of weather conditions.
• Driver’s License – Valid driver’s license and clean driver’s abstract required.
• Willingness to Travel – Availability to travel to project sites across Canada for either local or FIFO assignments.

Work Options

• Local Opportunities – Work on projects near major hubs and get to be home every night.
• Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO) Opportunities – Participate in remote project rotations across Canada, with flights, accommodations, and meals provided at no cost. Typical rotations include 14 days on / 14 days off or 14 days on / 7 days off, depending on the project.
