About The Roles

We're on the lookout for Trainee Construction Materials Testing Technicians to join our Petrie Laboratory team.

You'll start with full training at our Brendale Laboratory before moving into day-to-day operations at Petrie. Regular travel to other quarries will be part of your day, so you'll need to be comfortable driving between sites.

At the quarry, you'll collect and prepare rock and aggregate samples, run tests to measure their strength, size, and durability, and record your findings for client reports. It's a mix of lab work and field work, with plenty of time outdoors and on your feet.
