S. W. Cole Engineering, Inc.•Hartford, VT

13d•$20 - $28•Onsite

About The Position

We have an immediate opening for a Laboratory Technician (experienced or entry-level) to be based at our office in White River Junction, Vermont. As a Laboratory Technician you will work in the lab and in the field performing construction materials testing on samples of soil, concrete, masonry, asphalt, aggregate and other materials associated with a variety of construction projects, and reporting the results. You’ll also help maintain and organize the laboratory, visit field projects, and pick up samples from clients and project sites. You will typically work Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend work opportunities based on project needs. Experienced candidates are encouraged to apply, but to thrive in this role you won't need prior experience to learn and be successful - we will train you and pay you while you learn. If you have experience with construction materials testing, are looking for an opportunity to work in a team environment, and an opportunity for growth, we train and support our team's professional development and skills by seeking certifications for construction materials testing. You will work with other laboratory and field technicians, interns and managers. The work can be physical at times: you will lift and carry samples and equipment. You may drive to pick up samples at a job site or perform materials testing in the field, however, this would be on an occasional and as-needed basis. We do require a high school diploma or equivalent, and to perform this job you will need to do some basic math and write or type your observations and test results. Safely conducting yourself and the equipment we entrust to you is a must. We provide opportunities for extensive training and job experience to develop your skills and expertise and support your professional development to help you earn industry specific certifications. We also offer opportunities to fuel your growth and advancement in the company including an internal leadership development program, Stephen W. Cole Emerging Leaders Program. We are a hardworking group with a passion for construction whose focus is to provide high quality services to our clients while helping each other reach our goals. A few things to keep in mind - you must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer, and we are not able to sponsor employment Visas at this time.
