Trainee Soil & Concrete Testing Technicians

Looking for a hands-on career where you can earn while you learn?

We're looking for Trainee Soil Technicians to join our Brendale 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 farming, labouring, some trade experience, manufacturing, process work, production, commercial kitchens or similar practical roles.

This is a practical, active role where you'll work both outdoors on construction sites and in the laboratory. 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 in the lab and out in the field

Getting hands-on at construction sites - manual work, plenty of action

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
