About this job

We are looking for technician to work on construction sites where our clients are building either a road or a runway.

The Troxler or nuclear density gauge (same instrument different names) will be used to measure the soil compaction. You will test the concrete strength by taking samples in cylinders and once it’s cured they will take it to the lab where you will crush it in a break machine until it cracks which will give the strength of the concrete. You will write a standard report based on the results of their tests.
