No two days look the same: one day you're testing concrete pours at a high-rise site, the next you're out on a road project checking soil and asphalt. Candidate's responsibilities include performing field tests related to concrete, soil, asphalt, and other construction materials in accordance with applicable testing standards and methods.

- Perform a variety of standardized field tests on concrete, soil, asphalt, and other construction materials at active job sites, using established testing methods.
- Report test results accurately, meeting ASTM and other standardized reporting requirements.
- Perform maintenance and verifications of testing equipment to ensure accuracy in the field.
- Assist in the construction materials testing lab when needed.
- Perform all other duties as assigned by your supervisor or manager.
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds and work outdoors on active job sites in varying weather conditions.
