Cairns, Queensland, Australia Construction Sciences Full time
About Us: Construction Sciences is Australia's leading construction materials testing organization, providing essential support for infrastructure projects across Australia and New Zealand. Our services include geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, and environmental consulting.

We work with top Engineering and Construction companies, delivering precise results critical to the design and construction of roads, bridges, dams, airports, mines, and rail infrastructure.

At Construction Sciences, we prioritize our people, employing over 860 staff including Technicians and Environmental Scientists across 50+ locations. We're part of the global Kiwa Group, a leader in testing, inspection, and certification services in over 35 countries.

About The Roles

We're hiring Trainee Soil and Concrete Technicians at our Cairns Laboratory. You'll be testing soil and concrete samples, operating testing instruments, and handling materials. These roles are a combination of laboratory and field based work.

What's In It For You
  • Trainees typically earn $20-$27 per hour, with pay varying by age and experience level.
  • Permanent employment with overtime penalty rates
  • Long-term career opportunities—many of our Managers and Senior Managers started here
  • Get paid while you train, plus earn around $3,000-$4,200 in potential incentives (amounts may vary).
  • Potential for promotion or exploring other areas of our business
  • Company ute provided for site-based roles (available after a qualifying period).

What We're Looking For:
  • Ideal for early-career individuals, though open to all ages
  • Team players with a strong work ethic
  • Willingness for physical work and lifting up to 20kg
  • Current Australian Driver's Licence (Manual preferred)
  • White card (or willingness to obtain one quickly)
