Job Introduction

Senior Materials Testing Technician (Aggregates & Asphalt)

Location: Clitheroe Asphalt Plant, Lancashire

Company Vehicle | Overtime Available | Leadership Opportunity

Ready to take the next step in your technical career? Seeking a hands-on role where no two days are the same?

We're looking for a Senior Materials Testing Technician to lead a team of technicians based out of Tarmac Clitheroe Asphalt Plant, Lancashire. You'll be at the heart of quality assurance, overseeing the testing and analysis of aggregates and asphalt materials that help shape the roads, infrastructure and communities we all rely on.

This is far more than a laboratory role. It's a hands-on position where you'll be out on site, solving problems, leading testing activities, influencing quality standards and helping deliver materials that keep our North West region moving.

Whether you already have experience in aggregates and asphalt testing or you're an ambitious technician ready for your next challenge, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Materials Testing Technician, you'll be responsible for leading and supporting a team of Materials Testing Technicians 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 also be responsible for:

Carrying out and overseeing aggregate and asphalt testing in line with BS EN Standards and accreditations
Ensuring accurate, timely testing that supports operational excellence
Promoting a strong Health, Safety and Environmental culture
Supporting continuous improvement initiatives and business optimisation
Working closely with operational teams across multiple sites
Helping drive Tarmac's commitment to a zero-harm workplace

What We're Looking For

We're keen to hear from individuals who are practical, detail-oriented and who enjoy leading a technical team. The ideal candidate will have laboratory experience gained within quality control, construction materials, aggregates or asphalt sector.

You will thrive in this role if you:

Understand aggregate and asphalt testing processes (desirable but not essential)
Are a strong communicator who can build relationships across teams
Have excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach
Enjoy problem-solving and working both independently and collaboratively
Are comfortable using IT systems and handling calculations
Are flexible and willing to travel between sites when required
Put safety at the heart of everything you do

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 and ensuring product quality across our operations.

Full UK manual driving licence (with no more than 6 penalty points) is required as a company van is provided with this role.

Location: Based at Clitheroe Asphalt Plant in Lancashire, this role is easily accessible from Accrington, Blackburn, Preston, Blackpool, Lancaster, Morecambe, Burnley and the surrounding areas.

Why Tarmac

At Tarmac, who you are matters.

We're proud to create an environment where people can be themselves, develop their careers, and make a real impact. We value collaboration, integrity, ambition and a job well done. Our people come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, helping us build stronger teams and better solutions for our customers.

If you're looking for a role where your expertise is valued, your development is supported, and every day brings a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help shape the future of construction materials with Tarmac.

We don't just offer a job, we offer a career.

Bonus scheme
Enhanced holiday entitlement
Contributory pension scheme
Access to the Tarmac Reward website with discounts on retailers, holidays, etc.
Access to our Employee Assistance helpline for free and confidential advice
