• Collect and label samples from the site for further testing.
• Accurately record test data and observations.
• Set up testing equipment on-site.
• Follow all health and safety procedures and site rules.
• Work closely with other technicians and site engineers.

• GCSEs (or equivalent), particularly in Maths and Science.

• Willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Good attention to detail.
• Basic numeracy and record‑keeping skills.
• Reliable, punctual, and safety‑conscious.
