Vacancy Description

The role will be split between site work and the office base in Clapham.

Your principal involvement will be with the Metallurgy and Steelwork Inspection departments, but it is planned for you to spend time in other departments including the Construction Materials, and Building Inspection and Investigation departments. In all cases, full training will be given, and the level of involvement in the different areas will grow as training and competence develop.

In addition to building on general laboratory techniques, you will learn to perform specific tests along with metallurgical techniques, mechanical testing, and measurement of properties. Additionally, there will be site-based work where you will develop inspection techniques, gain experience in further testing types as well as the practicalities of site testing and taking site notes.

• Lab Based
• Preparation of samples from bulk materials to sample ready for testing
• Undertaking testing such as strength, compression
• Use of general workshop machines including band saws, drills, and linishers
• Assisting with project investigations
• Site Based
• Coating and corrosion inspection especially of steel members
• Sampling for later testing at the lab
• Carbonation testing (chemical testing of concrete)
• Support consultants, inspectors, and technicians in recording site information, locations, and details of issues

The role will give you real insight into the use of materials within construction and the issues that can arise. You will be working with experienced professionals who are normally more than happy to share information and answer technical questions.
