Job Introduction

Materials Testing Technician (Aggregates and Asphalt)

Location: Clitheroe Asphalt Plant, Lancashire

Regional role covering various quarries and asphalt plants in the North West

Looking for a hands-on role where no two days are the same?

Do you enjoy working outdoors, solving problems, working with data and being part of a close-knit team that plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality products? Whether you already have laboratory or construction materials experience or you're perhaps looking to build a technical career with full training provided - this could be the opportunity for you.

We're looking for a Materials Testing Technician to join our team based out of Tarmac Clitheroe Asphalt Plant carrying out testing at our various Plants and Quarries in the North West, Lancashire, Blackpool and Cumbria. You'll be at the heart of quality assurance, carrying out testing and analysis of aggregates and asphalt materials that help shape the roads, infrastructure and communities we all rely on.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Materials Testing Technician, you'll be responsible for ensuring our products consistently meet the highest quality standards. This is a practical, site-based role combining laboratory testing, on-site sampling and close collaboration with operational teams. You will be responsible for:

Sampling and testing aggregates and asphalt materials on a daily basis
Accurately recording, analysing and reporting test results
Monitoring product quality for both internal and external customers
Carrying out testing using specialist laboratory equipment, including ovens, furnaces, sieves, weighing apparatus and other scientific testing tools
Travelling to other local Tarmac sites when required to undertake sampling and testing activities
Identifying and escalating any quality concerns or potential issues
Working safely at all times and adhering to Health and Safety procedures and standards

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from individuals who are practical, detail-oriented and enjoy working in a technical environment. The ideal candidate will have laboratory experience gained within quality control, construction materials, aggregates or asphalt sector however full training can be provided if candidates demonstrate the positive behaviours required to succeed in the role

Suitable candidates will also have:

A proactive, hardworking and self-motivated approach
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
Good communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders
Numerical confidence and the ability to interpret data and results
Good IT skills
The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
A flexible and adaptable approach to work
A genuine commitment to Health and Safety

This isn't a traditional white-coat laboratory role. You'll spend time both in the laboratory and out on site, wearing PPE, working alongside operational teams and playing a key role in maintaining product quality across our operations.

A company van is provided with this role which is covering several quarries and asphalt plants in the region so is easily accessible from Accrington, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool, Lancaster, Morecambe, Burnley and the surrounding areas.
