Laboratory Technician – Building Materials

November 23, 2022 | Comments Off on Laboratory Technician – Building Materials

Breedon are currently seeking a Laboratory Technician based at our Wickwar site near Wotton Under Edge, Gloucestershire.

You will be responsible for carrying out concrete compressive strength testing, product compliance sampling and testing for the aggregates, asphalt and ready-mixed concrete we produce. You will input and interpret test data and produce reports of non-conforming material, ensuring corrective action is taken. Strong attention to detail is therefore essential. Good communication skills are also important as you will be liaising with a variety of stakeholders, including customers - to assist in the resolution of any issues - and our Laboratory and Technical Supervisors. It is also essential that you will maintain an awareness of site practices and quality procedures and take action where these may adversely affect product quality.

Previous laboratory experience in concrete, aggregates or asphalt testing is desirable. A full driving licence is essential for you to be considered for this role as you may be required to drive a company van.

The Group places the highest importance on sustained standards of excellence in all aspects of Health, Safety and Environmental management and you will be expected to contribute to the Company's zero harm culture.

A competitive remuneration package will be offered including pension and life assurance.

By applying for this role, your details will be sent to Ortolan People, who are engaged to provide recruitment support in processing applications. We will endeavour to respond to all applicants within three working days. Occasionally for roles with a very high volume of applicants, this may not be possible.
