CTS and our range of independent UKAS accredited laboratories provide on-site testing and laboratory services to the construction, quarry products and civil engineering industries across the whole of the UK.
Our purpose-built laboratories are fully equipped to test the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of soils, aggregates, concrete and bituminous materials as well as other construction materials and products.
Our highly-trained technicians and engineers either visit sites and take representative samples for subsequent laboratory testing, or conduct in-situ field tests.
We are looking for Material Site Technicians to join our team in Heathrow for Concrete, Asphalt and soil testing and sampling.
"Soil Testing? What an EARTH is that?" I hear you say - (Pun 100% intended!) ...
Well don't panic this is a `no experience necessary` position as we will give full training! 💪 All we need from you is a strong work ethic, like for being outdoors and being a team player!
You'll be outside away from stuffy offices working on a wide variety of sites and major projects carrying out on-site testing and sampling activities.
There will be some early starts with travelling - but who likes to be in the same place day in day out? You may even be asked to stay away or work night shifts now and again - but that adds to the excitement of a new career right? (We of course, pay allowances for this too.)
Experience / Skills: Educated to GCSE level or above with a good level of numeracy and literacy.
Experience in construction laboratory testing is advantageous but not required.
IT literate. Full UK Driving License.
The role will also require accurate and consistent record keeping.
