Pay
We are looking for a Senior Laboratory Technician to join our team in Napier. This is a full time role (37.5 hours per week), and a great opportunity for someone looking to further their soil, aggregate and concrete laboratory testing career.
This is an opportunity to join a leading specialist geotechnical testing company with a broad scope of testing to increase your technical knowledge. The work will be hands-on and physical, and therefore requires a reasonable degree of physical capability.

- Monitoring of geotechnical instrumentation.
- Data entry and processing of results.
- Liaising with customers and engineers.
- Completion of day-to-day tasks in a modern IANZ accredited civil lab testing facility.
- Tests are conducted to New Zealand and overseas standards and require a high attention to detail.
You will be expected to perform laboratory- and field-testing to a high level of accuracy. The work will be hands-on and physical, and therefore requires a reasonable degree of physical capability and, at times, may involve working in adverse environmental conditions. The nature of the work may require early starts, late finishes and occasional overtime.
Requirements:
- 2-5 years work experience in the laboratory testing of soil, concrete, aggregate, and asphalt.
- Computer literate, particularly in Microsoft Excel and Word.
- We are seeking an individual that brings their personality to the role, prides themselves on providing quality reliable data for customers and strives for just a little bit more.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Flexibility to adapt quickly to change.
- Able to work autonomously with minimal supervision, but also collaborate with team members when required.
- High standards, meticulous attention to detail and quality.
- Able to look at situations from both a commercial and customer perspective;
- Committed to performing all work in accordance with our IANZ accreditation and project management system.
