About the role

Our Lab Technicians play an important role in the work we do, helping ensure the materials, data, and results behind our projects are accurate, reliable, and up to standard.

• Apply appropriate international and local test methods and support the development of testing methodology where needed.
• Maintain confidentiality of laboratory analysis and testing.
• Provide analysis of results for the relevant focus area to clients.
• Follow safety, environmental and quality processes, take part in pre-steps where needed, and report incidents, accidents and near misses.

Qualifications

• Relevant laboratory and/or materials testing experience, with the flexibility to work in a lab-based, field-based, or mixed role depending on the site.
• An understanding of quality assurance and a competent understanding of material properties.
• Experience working towards, or having achieved, IANZ accreditation.
• A practical, reliable, and proactive approach, with the ability to think ahead and solve problems.
• Full class 1 licence.
• An understanding of quality assurance.
• A competent understanding of material properties.
