Lab Manager – Tampa, FL
Build better, break ground, and lead the way!
MC Squared is on the hunt for a sharp, hands-on Lab Manager ready to take charge of a high-performing laboratory environment that fuels some of the most critical infrastructure in Florida. If your idea of a good day involves keeping people safe, quality high, and chaos low — we want to meet you.
What You'll Be Doing (a.k.a. Your Superpowers In Action)
- Champion lab safety and efficiency — you’ll run a tight, productive, and clean ship.
- Keep our testing equipment finely tuned and calibration-ready (because “meh” is not in your vocabulary).
- Ensure we pass FDOT qualifications and audits with flying colors — again and again.
- Lead internal documentation and accreditation efforts like a pro.
- Deliver test results that are on-point, on-time, and crystal clear.
- Help shape our lab team — hiring, mentoring, and building a culture that’s collaborative and compliant.
- Roll up your sleeves to perform and supervise materials testing (bonus points if you’ve tested anything that could crack a sidewalk).
- Align lab operations with our Quality Management Program and the gold standards of AASHTO and ASTM.
- Partner with department managers to ensure the lab can support complex geotechnical and construction testing needs.
- Occasionally lift heavy things (>70 lbs.) like a boss.
- Support continuous improvement by refreshing SOPs and the QMS.
- Assist with Radiation Safety Officer duties (yes, we’re thorough — safety is non-negotiable).
The Credentials We’re Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field? Perfect. But solid experience speaks volumes, too.
- 3+ years in a construction or geotechnical lab setting — ideally with FDOT project exposure.
- Familiarity with the FDOT MAC System? Big plus.
- Hands-on testing experience in soils, masonry, concrete, and asphalt.
- Communicates with clarity and confidence — in writing and person.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel warriors welcome).
- Holds ACI and CTQP certifications (or on your way to getting them).
Perks + Benefits (a.k.a. Why You'll Want to Stick Around):
- Competitive pay plus performance bonuses.
- Medical coverage that kicks in fast – three plans to choose from and 100% coverage for you.
- Dental, vision, HSA, and all the usual wellness options.
- 401(k) with a 3% company contribution — no strings attached.
- Short- and long-term disability insurance – 100% company-paid.
- $50K life insurance — also fully covered.
- Optional accident and critical illness insurance.
- Paid time off (yes, we encourage using it).
- Company holidays.
- Ongoing professional development and certification support — we invest in your growth.
