About The Role
Looking for a hands-on career where you can earn while you learn?
We're looking for Trainee Soil Technicians to join our Adelaide team. You don't need a degree or previous industry experience — just reliability, a good attitude and willingness to learn. This role could suit someone starting their career, changing career, or coming from a hands‐on background such as process work, production, or similar practical roles.
This is a practical, active role where you'll work predominately in the laboratory where you'll be testing soil and concrete, learning how major construction projects are built, and gaining nationally recognised qualifications while you work.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the move, working with their hands, and being part of a team — not sitting behind a desk all day.
Your Day‐to‐Day
Testing soils and concrete, laboratory based initially
Learning from experienced technicians and supervisors
Preparing clear, accurate records and reports
Completing physical tasks in the laboratory and on‐site
Providing great service to our construction clients
Hands‐on laboratory testing, including but not limited to soil sample preparation, concrete cylinder testing and trial concrete mixes
What's in It for You?
Full‐time, permanent role with an 18‐month traineeship and ongoing employment beyond completion
Complete your Cert IV through our in‐house training team, with milestone payments as you build practical skills on the job
Receive additional funding for completing modules of your traineeship




Potential company ute for site‐based roles after 6 months, depending on eligibility
Career growth — move up the ranks in our diverse and growing business
Perks like employee discounts on shopping, travel and insurance, novated leasing plus EAP support
Paid Parental Leave — for both men and women
Be part of a team that values its workers — many of our crew have built long, successful careers here
Regular 7:00am‐3:00pm hours, plus occasional Saturdays
What You'll Need to Succeed
Reliability and a stable job history
A good team attitude, strong communication skills, and a solid work ethic
Willingness to learn and complete an 18‐month traineeship
Ability to lift *****kg on a regular basis
Basic language and maths skills
A current driver's licence and unrestricted Australian working rights
This is strictly a hands‐on technician role; it does not involve engineering tasks and does not offer an engineering career pathway
