Description du poste

**Disclaimer-this position will be considered classified-exempt and “at will.”

Be the guardian of our critical infrastructure. Step into our materials testing laboratory to drive the hands-on testing, statistical analysis, and rigorous quality assurance that guarantees every batch of concrete, asphalt, and aggregate is built to last and meets the highest state standards.

You will perform hands-on testing, statistical analysis, and quality assurance to verify that aggregates, concrete, and asphalt meet strict state specifications.

In this role, you will:

• Execute mechanical and washed sieve testing, sample preparation, and physical property checks to guarantee compliance with job mix formulas (JMF) and state gradation bands.
• Manage the cylinder curing process and perform hydraulic compression breaks. Document fracture patterns and report critical 7-day and 28-day compressive strengths (PSI/MPa).
• Operate ignition furnaces to test asphalt binder content and post-burn gradation. Calculate Percent Within Limits (PWL) statistics to help determine contractor pay factors and incentives.
• Data Management & Lab Operations: Log certified test data into AASHTOWare, perform routine maintenance and calibration on precision lab equipment, and support engineers during Independent Assurance (IA) audits.

Successful candidate will have rapid problem-solving abilities to correct plan mistakes, excellent communication for reporting and team collaboration, good listening skills, and good verbal and written communication.
