By delivering accurate and dependable results, our lab plays a key role in helping clients comply with regulatory requirements and ensure the structural integrity and long-term success of their projects.

You'll also have the opportunity to pursue technician certifications through respected industry organizations such the American Concrete Institute (ACI).

The ideal candidate brings prior experience working in a CMT lab-particularly with soils and aggregates, is eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges. Success in this role requires a proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
