Adelaide, South Australia INTERTEK Full time

The mechanical testing laboratory at Intertek conducts destructive tests on various samples and welded plates to ensure compliance with Australian standards. This involves hardness testing, macro examination, tensile testing, and impact testing.

These tests are performed by a team of skilled professionals, including mechanical testing officers, technicians, managers, metallurgists, and materials engineers. The majority of these tests require cutting, sectioning, machining, and preparing the samples in our mechanical testing sample preparation workshop.

Our machinists and mechanical testing tradesmen use saws, lathes, and CNC milling machines to produce the samples prior to testing. As a trainee, you will learn through supervision how to use these machines while pursuing tertiary education. We offer several pathways for suitable candidates, including mechanical and materials testing, non-destructive testing, and inspection.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our team. A successful candidate should be willing to learn and work collaboratively in a dynamic environment. If you have a strong interest in mechanical testing and materials engineering, this role may be an excellent fit.

Intertek offers competitive salary packages that vary depending on qualifications and experience. For this position, we estimate a starting salary of approximately $65,000 - $85,000 per year, based on industry standards and location.

This role provides opportunities for professional growth and development within a leading company in the field of product testing and certification. You will be working with experienced professionals who share your passion for mechanical testing and materials engineering.
