· Responsible for conducting daily laboratory tests to qualify materials for dispatch. 

· Test materials used as raw materials for qualities such as purity, particle size distribution, placement, strength, and density. 

· This is a hand-on role that will require some manual handling. 

· Understand all internationally recognised and customer specific testing standards and frequencies. 

· Provide technical support and assistance. 

· Complete technical requests and compile reports based on the interpretation of the findings. 

· Understand how to operate lab testing equipment such as sieve shakers, kilns, compressing and flexural rigs, mixers, and vibrating tables. 

· Record all test data in the required format. 

· Orders and inventories of laboratory materials 

· Assist with Lab trials to match the customers’ specifications and performance requirements with help of the Lab Manager/ Concrete Technicians. 

· Once trained on specific tasks, the role will involve working on your own initiative at times.  

· Working on all aspects of the laboratory functions will be required, and this will involve routine tasks. 

What could the future look like?
There’s no limit to what you can achieve while working with Master Builders Solutions. Their team is at the heart of what they do, and they are looking for someone who wants to play a key part in that long term. 

After the apprenticeship and successful completion of your qualification, we hope to be able to offer you the opportunity to become an integral member of Master Builders Solutions.

Through ‘on-the-job’ training you’ll have the opportunity to learn new skills to provide competency and responsibility in carrying out testing and to help develop your career.  Hard work and determination will be recognised

This apprenticeship can also help pave the way for further educational and professional advancement.

Experience: We’re not just interested in experience and qualifications; we’re looking for someone with the right attitude and aptitude to work as a key part of our laboratory team.
