Materials Laboratory Technician — Richmond, VA

Laboratory technicians turn field samples into the numbers projects run on: Proctor curves, sieve analyses, Atterberg limits, moisture contents, and compressive strength breaks. You will work inside a documented AASHTO R18 quality system with calibrated equipment and real accountability for every result that leaves the lab.

This is a project-site position supporting programs in and around Richmond, Virginia, staffed on a project basis with travel as assigned.

In Richmond, expect Tidewater shrink-swell clays, Piedmont saprolite, and data-center concrete at scale, and a record that follows you project to project.

What you'll do

• Perform ASTM D698, D1557, D2216, D4318, C136, and C39 testing
• Maintain calibration, standardization, and quality records
• Log samples and preserve chain of custody
• Break cylinders and report strength results same day
• Support proficiency sample programs and accreditation assessments

What we're looking for

• Careful hands, clean documentation habits, mechanical aptitude
• Prior lab or CMT experience a plus, not required — we train
• Comfortable with repetitive precision work done right every time
