$80,000–$100,000 per year depending on experience and overtime

WHAT DOES A CONCRETE TESTER ACTUALLY DO?

n

This is a mobile, hands‐on role — not a job where you'll be sitting behind a desk all day.

n

You'll travel between construction sites throughout your allocated area, working with builders, concrete suppliers, supervisors and project managers to help ensure concrete meets required standards.

n

Your day may include:

n

n
- Travelling between construction sites
n
- Testing fresh concrete for strength, durability and compliance
n
- Recording test results using KCT systems
n
- Communicating with site supervisors, builders and concrete suppliers
n




- Transporting concrete specimens to our holding facility or Yatala laboratory
n
- Looking after your testing equipment and company vehicle
n
- Following safety procedures and KCT testing requirements
n

n

Every day is different, and you'll spend much of your time working independently out on the road while still being supported by the wider KCT team.

n

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

n

Experience isn't the most important thing to us.

n

We're looking for people who are dependable, willing to learn and take pride in doing a job properly.

n

You could be a excellent fit if you:

n

n
- Hold a current Australian driver's licence
n
- Are reliable and punctual
n
- Enjoy working outdoors and travelling between different locations
n
- Are comfortable working independently
n
- Can follow procedures accurately
n
- Communicate confidently with different people
n
- Want a long-term career, not just another short-term job
n
- Previous concrete testing or construction experience is welcome, but it is not essential.
n

n

COMING FROM ANOTHER INDUSTRY?

n

Don't assume you need laboratory experience to apply.

n

This role may suit people currently working in construction, labouring, warehousing, deliveries, logistics, landscaping,



manufacturing or other hands‐on roles who want to move into a technical construction career.

n

If you're reliable and willing to learn, we can teach you the testing side of the job.

n

WHERE CAN THIS CAREER TAKE YOU?

n

At KCT, Concrete Testing can be the starting point rather than the final destination.

n

As our business continues to expand into Soil Testing, Concrete Cutting/Coring and Scanning, we're creating new opportunities for our people.

n

Depending on your interests, ability and experience, future opportunities may include:

n

n
- Senior Field Tester
n
- Soil Field Tester
n
- Concrete & Soil Laboratory Technician
n
- Team Leader & Supervisor positions
n
- Laboratory Management
n
- Technical specialist roles
n

n

We believe in developing and promoting our own people wherever possible.
