Primarily based in the north east, the Construction Engineering Department undertakes testing and sampling of construction materials, along with condition surveys and intrusive inspections to a wide variety of structures. The information gathered is then conveyed to Engineers and Architects to aid in building assessments and/or design works.  

Reporting to the Regional Manager and project Supervisor, responsibilities will be varied, but will include:

  • Half-cell Potential and carbonation testing to determine the corrosion risk to reinforcement in concrete structures
  • Non-destructive scanning surveys to determine reinforcement details in concrete.

We currently work for a large variety of clients throughout the country, and the nature of the business will result in short periods of working away from home

This is an interesting and varied position, which will offer opportunities to the right candidate to pursue a career in structural inspections and investigations.

Person Specification:

  • At least GCSE Maths and English to Grade A to E or equivalent
  • Full driving license
  • Good organisational skills
  • Good communication skills
  • Some experience of working in construction or technical environment
