Concrete Support Services (CSS) is a fully independent concrete testing and engineering consultancy supporting construction projects right across Melbourne. From our laboratory and field operations, we deliver concrete testing, materials assessment and technical advice that builders, contractors and engineers rely on to keep their projects moving and compliant. Because we operate as a completely independent laboratory, our clients know that every result we issue is backed by integrity, confidentiality and impartiality. Our work aligns with Australian Standards and NATA requirements, and our team combines decades of hands-on concrete technology expertise with a genuine commitment to service. What sets us apart is speed paired with accuracy we understand that critical site activities can’t wait, so we go out of our way to turn around reliable field and laboratory results promptly and to consistently exceed what our clients expect. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a motivated Civil Engineering Technician to join our team at Oakleigh South and play a hands-on role in delivering the quality and responsiveness our clients count on.
