Washington, United Kingdom RSK Group Full time

Due to the continuing growth of a busy geotechnical /materials testing department, we have a position for a Trainee/Site Technician based in the North East of England. This is a permanent, full time role.

Ian Farmer Associates, a member of RSK Group Ltd, is a geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigation company with offices covering the majority of the United Kingdom. It is further supported by a fully accredited UKAS laboratory and together with the Geosciences division of RSK, the company makes RSK Group one of the UK’s largest site investigation service providers

The role is predominantly site based and involves, but is not limited to:

  • Sampling of construction materials within earthwork sites.
  • Sampling and testing of fresh & hardened concrete on construction sites and within our UKAS accredited laboratory for compliance testing
  • Site Testing of in-situ earthworks materials for evaluation
  • Sampling of materials for Waste acceptance (WAC)
  • Assisting and supporting the Senior Technician as directed.
  • Assisting in the office as required by Senior Staff.

Initially, the role will involve working alongside a senior member of staff, in order to gain the experience of performing the required duties under their own initiative.

The successful candidate must be able to communicate on daily basis with site mangers, to ensure that client needs are met.

We expect the appointed member of staff to accept new challenges and further responsibilities in line with the development of the department as well as achieving certain safety standards and certification to gain access to client sites.

The role will involve an element of Manual Handling and working outdoors as well as some out of hours working.
