- Record and report test results accurately, meeting ASTM and other standardized reporting requirements.
- Keep lab equipment clean, calibrated, and in top working order through routine maintenance and verification checks.
- Pitch in on other duties as assigned by your supervisor or manager.
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds and stay on your feet in a hands-on lab environment working with soil, concrete, and other construction materials.
